Manicure Monday: Preppy Blues
My inspiration for this week’s Manicure Monday came from my weekend getaway in Ocean City, Maryland with my boyfriend. I’m typically dedicated to the Jersey Shore, but as a last hurrah before we both start work, we decided to do some traveling. Ocean City is absolutely beautiful. For those of you that know the Jersey […]
Manicure Monday: Black Caviar
5,000 page views and the purchase of our very own domain name is cause for celebration! I’ve decided to celebrate in the best way I know how – my manicure! The most perfect celebration manicure is a caviar manicure, of course. Thanks to an awesome graduation present from one of my sorority sisters (Thanks, Melissa!), […]
Manicure Monday: Polka Dots!
For this week’s Manicure Monday, I was inspired by Pinterest. I’m not quite sure who pinned what, but I know I saw polka dots and needed to try it. Who doesn’t love some good ol’ fashioned polka dots? I wasn’t sure how to achieve this look without clumping gobs of polish onto my nail (which […]
Birchbox – And Why You Should Try It!
As a lover of all things beauty, I know the longing feeling of wanting to try every new product out there. I also know how expensive such a habit can be, as well as the heartbreak of an empty bank account. In order to curb my spending, I joined Birchbox. I like to explain Birchbox […]
Manicure Monday: Flower Power
As dedicated as I am to the tried-and-true manicure, I’m always up for trying something new. This week, that “something new” is Sally Hansen Salon Effects Real Nail Polish Strips. I actually tried them once before, a few months ago, and swore I would never use them again because it took forever for me to […]
Manicure Monday: Easy Leopard Print!
For those of you that love fun nail art, but may not be the best at doing it yourself, this manicure is for you! You may be thinking that there is NO WAY you could do a leopard print on your own nails, but I promise you that it’s actually quick and easy. And I […]
Be Radiant at Prom!
I remember contemplating my prom makeup like it was yesterday. Cliche? Maybe. True? Definitely. I wanted to coordinate my makeup look with my dress, which isn’t necessarily a bad idea, but it isn’t always the way to go. My advice to all you ladies getting ready for prom (I apologize if your prom already passed!) […]
Manicure Monday: Girly Girl
This week’s Manicure Monday features my Senior Dinner Dance polish look. I wore a long, black mermaid-style dress with silver jewelry. I’ve worn that dress twice before and kept the look simple with a classic French manicure. I wanted to keep the look classy and elegant, but I felt like I needed a pop of […]
Manicure Monday: Kicking Up the Classic French
I have to apologize – my Mani Monday post wasn’t uploaded first thing this morning. Between finals week, job interviews, and trying to pack my life away, the fact that I’m graduating in less than two weeks is bringing my life to a halt. But it’s also been the inspiration for this week’s Mani Monday! […]
Manicure Monday: Violet Daze
As you may or may not know, manicures are my thing. Little Orphan Annie might say that you’re never fully dressed without a smile, but I like to say that you’re never fully dressed without a fresh mani. Last Thursday, I was getting ready for my last college formal. I wanted to go all out. I […]
