Manicure Monday: Back to Design
I wanted to thank everyone for the kind words I’ve been receiving about starting up my weekly Manicure Monday posts again. For those that don’t know, I’m coming out of quite a busy period in my life. I was applying to new jobs, helping to plan my sister’s wedding, and moving to a totally different […]
Manicure Monday: Glitz & Glam
And we’re back! I’ve hardly had time to slap some clear polish on my nails in the past few months, let alone create a manicure worthy of a Manicure Monday blog post. Between finding a new job, moving, and planning my sister’s wedding, it’s been a crazy couple of months. But I did it – […]
Manicure Monday: Little Mermaid
For Halloween this year, my team at work went as hipster Disney princesses, and I was a hipster Little Mermaid. I went all out with my costume – long red wig, suspenders, boots, thick glasses, fork … I mean, dinglehopper – and all I needed was the perfect manicure to go with it! I decided […]
Manicure Monday: Superstition
Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. I absolutely hate being scared and I can’t stand blood, gore, or spiders, but there’s something about getting to be anything you want for a day – and being able to eat as much candy as you want. Last year, we created a manicure that emphasized the scary […]
Manicure Monday: BCA Strength
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and I plan on showing my support for the cause the best way I know how – with a manicure. Last year, each of our editors painted our pinkies pink to show our support, and this year, I’m going all out – all pink everything. Whether you try this […]
Manicure Monday: Silver Details
Manicures are a great way to express your feelings and personality without being in-your-face – unless, of course, you take a ton of photos and post all about your nails in a blog online, then maybe it’s in-your-face. Anyway, whether I’m feeling geeky, pretty, or punk, I can change my manicure as quickly as I […]
Fall Into Fashion
One of the things that makes me feel better about leaving the beautiful summer sun behind and transitioning into fall is fashion. I love summer because there’s nowhere else I’d rather be than prancing around the Jersey shore in a bikini and cute cover-up, but there’s something about the tights, the boots, and the knits that come out in fall […]
Manicure Monday: Faux Diamonds
I am absolutely in love with the idea of gems, lace, and other things to bedazzle your manicure. I’m not quite as in love with anything that will make my manicure 3D. If my nails aren’t totally smooth, I find that my nails snag on my hair way too often. So as much as I […]
Manicure Monday: Minnie Mouse
There’s something about Disney that’s so … magical. I don’t think I know anyone that doesn’t like Disney. In fact, I don’t even know anyone who is neutral about Disney. Everyone loves Disney! So why not make a Disney-themed manicure? This week’s manicure is a tribute to none other than Minnie Mouse! The bright red […]
Manicure Monday: Dreamcatcher
Since last week’s Manicure Monday was dark and fierce, I wanted to go light and girly with this week’s. I’ve always been impressed with dreamcatchers. The premise of a dreamcatcher is that you hang it by your bed to catch any evil spirits or nightmares while you’re sleeping. Whether they work or not is a […]
