Manicure Monday: Matte Jelly Glitter
I absolutely love the new Liquid Sand trend in nail polish, but since I don’t own those polishes and don’t want to spend the money, I’ve been searching for a way to achieve the matte, textured look with the polishes I already own. I may or may not have missed the mark exactly on a […]
Manicure Monday: Valentine’s Day Heart
When I sat down to do my Valentine’s Day-themed Manicure Monday, I had big ideas to do a different pattern on every nail. Glitter, hearts, polka dots, flowers, matte polish, everything. I started to do the manicure, and I realized that my nails started to look like a tacky Valentine’s Day card. Obviously that’s not […]
Manicure Monday: Matte & Glossy Polka Dots
I’m a big fan of matte nail polish. I was never really sure where to go with it. Do you buy a matte color? Do you just get a matte top coat? Do matte top coats work on every polish? Can you apply a top coat over your matte polish? I had so many questions […]
Manicure Monday: Gone Gingham
Today’s Manicure Monday is a gorgeous tone-on-tone gingham print. Bright, bold colors definitely stand out, but it’s the intricacy of the pattern that makes this look shine. I actually aimed for a much different look – ultra skinny diagonal lines – but after trying to create it, my ultra skinny lines came out pretty … […]
Minute Manicure Removal
I change my nail polish as often as I change my clothes. Okay – not that often, but I still do my nails more often than the average person. When it comes to taking my polish off, the cotton balls can add up. Until I learned a neat little trick to use only ONE cotton ball […]
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: Island of Misfit Toys
This week’s Manicure Monday is brought to you once again by Pretty & Polished! I’m still on the whole homemade nail polish kick – I’m actually considering making my own personal polish! We’ll see where that goes. Regardless, I think finding a polish like this can be nail art in itself! This isn’t an Orly […]
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 […]
A Beauty Review: Lancome Teint Miracle Instant Retouch Pen
LANCÔME Teint Miracle Instant Retouch Pen ($29.50) Oil-free liquid concealer in a pump pen. I’m not ever really a fan of these pump pens, whether it’s for a concealer or a lip gloss or anything. I don’t like waiting for the product to ooze out of the brush, and I don’t like that I can’t really clean […]
