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 … […]

Today’s Manicure […]
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 […]

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the editors of The Collabor-eight are spicing up our manicures by painting our pinkies pink!
