Manicure Monday: Monochrome Matte French
A French manicure is always classy. It’s hands down my favorite way to do my nails. I think it’s sleek, pretty, feminine, and elongates your nails like no other manicure can. All that being said, if I wrote a blog each week about how much I love the classic French manicure, it would get boring. […]
Manicure Monday: Pretty & Polished
As anyone that knows me knows, nail polish is my favorite hobby, my favorite love, and maybe even my biggest vice. I have more nail polish than I really know what to do with, but I can’t help myself from buying more. I love finding new colors that I’ve never seen before, but that seems […]
Manicure Monday: Feathery Accent
It’s Manicure Monday once again! I’ve been pulling a lot of inspiration from Pinterest for my manicures lately, whether it’s for the colors, the theme, or the actual design. Ideas have to come from somewhere, and Pinterest is a great place to go for inspiration of any kind! I’ve noticed a lot of manicures that […]
Manicure Monday: Faux Claws
The thing I might love most about nail polish is how versatile it is. You can take the same colors and apply them in different ways to get completely different manicures. On the other hand, you could do the exact same design in different colors and get a different effect! For example, a classic French […]
Manicure Monday: Graduation Glitter
For my graduation from Villanova University this May, my two sisters got me the best graduation present – personalized nail polish. Thanks to Dollish Polish, a homemade nail polish vendor, they had two polishes made for me that no one else in the world has – “‘V’ for Villanova” and “Nova Nation,” two phrases that […]
Manicure Monday: Frenchie
My hands-down favorite manicure has always been the classic French. It’s simple and elegant. It always makes my nails look longer and prettier than they really are. I think it’s a great manicure for almost any occasion. I like to play up a French manicure any way I can, and for Manicure Monday this week, […]
Manicure Monday: Inspired by Color
As much as I love looking for inspiration on Pinterest, I know that I’m limited in terms of nail art by what I can actually do and what tools I have at home. It’s more important for me to have a simple-yet-neat design than an intricate-but-possibly-sloppy design. Sometimes when I’m trying to figure out what […]
Manicure Monday: Nicki Minaj for OPI
As much as we all love nail art, sometimes it’s important to let the polish shine. Nicki Minaj’s OPI collection is quite possibly my favorite nail polish collection, color-wise, of all time. That’s not even an exaggeration. The range of color is so big, but they all manage to work well together at the same […]
Manicure Monday: Pink Glitter
Happy Manicure Monday! What I love most about style is how often you can change it up. A girly girl rocking a motorcycle jacket is unexpected and fun. Combinations of lace and leather, pearls and studs, or even flowers and skulls show versatility and creativity when it comes to style. I have days when I […]
Manicure Monday: London Calling
With British mania sparked by the upcoming Olympic Games in London, I absolutely had to create a manicure inspired by the hype. I’ve had this Manicure Monday planned for months, ever since Editor-in-Chief Kristine sent me Rimmel London’s Instant Art Press On Color nail stickers with a British flag pattern. I knew I had to […]
