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 […]

Manicure Monday: Sweet Floral

Manicure Monday: Sweet Floral

Happy Manicure Monday! After a great holiday weekend, I’m feeling flirty and floral today.  I decided to try to take the difficulty level of my manis up a notch this week – but don’t worry, they’re still totally DIYable.  Just like my leopard print manicure, the best part about this nail art is that it doesn’t […]

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

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!

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 […]
