Manicure Monday: Art Deco

Manicure Monday: Art Deco

With fall in full swing – when the weather is cooperating – it’s time to transition to autumn-inspired beauty looks.  Darker hues and deep metallics are big trends for this season, but it can be hard to leave the bright, fun manicures of last season behind. I created this week’s Manicure Monday to combine summer’s […]

Manicure Monday: Neon Brights

Happy Manicure Monday, beauty lovers! I wanted today’s manicure to be fun and different.  Something that looks difficult, but really isn’t.  You can’t get a complicated-looking manicure using only one color (I don’t think!), so the key to this mani is using a lot of bright colors that stand out against each other.  Love this […]

Manicure Monday: Faux Claws

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

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

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

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

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

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 […]

Manicure Monday: Bold Stripes!

Manicure Monday: Bold Stripes!

As a lover of anything that has to do with manicures, I’m constantly trying to come up with something new and fun for Manicure Monday.  To me, Manicure Monday has become more than just showing off what cute color I’m rocking that week.  To be honest, I can’t have a Manicure Monday without making it […]
