Manicure Monday: Dreamcatcher
Since last week’s Manicure Monday was dark and fierce, I wanted to go light and girly with this week’s. I’ve always been impressed with dreamcatchers. The premise of a dreamcatcher is that you hang it by your bed to catch any evil spirits or nightmares while you’re sleeping. Whether they work or not is a […]
Manicure Monday: Shark Week
I have to admit, when I sat down to start this manicure, Shark Week was the last thing on my mind. In fact, I really don’t even like Shark Week – and I definitely don’t like sharks. My goal was to sit down and create a DIY chalkboard nail art tutorial – but after a conversation about […]
Manicure Monday: Neon & Glitter
There’s bold manicures, and then there’s bold manicures. When you combine Color Club’s neon and Essie’s glitter, you’re bound to get a pretty bold manicure look. This week’s Manicure Monday features both fun glitter and bright neon. This manicure is not for the faint of heart – it involves bold polishes, a lot of tape, […]
Manicure Monday: Gold Cross-Hatch
I’ve gotten inspiration for my Manicure Monday tutorials from my favorite clothes, from holidays, and even from just staring at my nail polish collection. But I also get my inspiration from one of the most inspiring places of all – Pinterest! If you can browse Pinterest without getting inspired, you’re pretty tough. I browse Pinterest […]
Manicure Monday: Red, White & Blue
For the 4th of July, I thought about trying to recreate the flag. When it comes to the American flag, however, I really think that Betsy Ross did it best. Creating tiny, intricate stars and perfectly balanced stripes is no easy task, especially if you’re downsizing it to your fingernail. There are so many options […]
Manicure Monday: Watercolors
Admittedly, I’ve been getting pretty technical with my manicures lately. From chevron to tribal print, some of these manicures really require a steady hand. With today’s manicure, that’s not the case. While the look may have been inspired by the gorgeous paintings of Monet and Cézanne, you don’t need to be a famous artist to […]
Manicure Monday: Bold Ikat
I typically base my beauty look on what I’m wearing that day or where I’m planning on going. Obviously a more natural look is appropriate for work, or I can spice it up if I’m going out. This week, I was so inspired by what I was wearing that I created my manicure from it! […]
Manicure Monday: Alumni Pride
June is a big month for seniors, both in college and high school. For the high school seniors, you’re graduating and starting a new chapter in your life – college! It’s an entirely new experience from high school – your college is your home. Speaking from experience, your college comes to mean much more than […]
Manicure Monday: Matte Tribal
If you’re looking for a fun, impressive manicure, look no further. Tribal print manicures can be pretty impressive, but also pretty hard to accomplish. The amount of detail involved can prove tricky for even the most accomplished manicurist. Have no fear – I’ve found a solution. All you need for this manicure? Your favorite polish […]
Manicure Monday: Spring Designs
My manicures are my form of art. Whether through colors or designs, manicures are how I express my style or current mood. I’m not impartial when it comes to my manicures, though – I definitely pick favorites. One of my absolute favorites was my galaxy manicure. On the other hand, there are manicures that aren’t […]
