Manicure Monday: Nail Lingerie
When I received Sation Nail Lacquer in Of Corset I’ll Call You in this month’s Ipsy bag, I had to try it immediately. It’s described as “a romantic lavender-rose” and it’s one of my new favorite shades. It adds the perfect pop of color, but still looks feminine and natural. Good thing Ipsy gave me a […]
Manicure Monday: Ombre Nails
Ombre is huge right now, whether it’s on your hair, your dress, or your nails. But it’s not an easy look to get. I’ve tried doing an ombre manicure in the past, and I can never seem to pick the right colors. China Glaze makes it easy for you with their Ombre kits! They have […]
Manicure Monday: Galaxy Nails
Galaxy nails aren’t just for astronomy majors. I’ve tried to recreate the look a few times and never been too happy with the result. They look absolutely beautiful, but look pretty complicated. Every time I’ve tried in the past, they just look sort of … sloppy. After many attempts and several different methods, I finally […]
Manicure Monday: Neutral Daisies
Black and white is a huge trend for spring. Adding in bright colors might look a bit tacky, but adding in a pop of nude can brighten the look without being overpowering. After all, the black and white is the point of the trend! Pair these colors with some flowers and you’ve got a perfect […]
Manicure Monday: Matte Jelly Glitter
I absolutely love the new Liquid Sand trend in nail polish, but since I don’t own those polishes and don’t want to spend the money, I’ve been searching for a way to achieve the matte, textured look with the polishes I already own. I may or may not have missed the mark exactly on a […]
Manicure Monday: Valentine’s Day Heart
When I sat down to do my Valentine’s Day-themed Manicure Monday, I had big ideas to do a different pattern on every nail. Glitter, hearts, polka dots, flowers, matte polish, everything. I started to do the manicure, and I realized that my nails started to look like a tacky Valentine’s Day card. Obviously that’s not […]
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 … […]
Manicure Monday: Chevron Stripes
I look for inspiration for my Manicure Monday designs in a lot of places. Sometimes I think about what events I’ll be attending that week, sometimes I look at what new techniques I’d like to try, and sometimes I just stare at my nail polish collection and hope that something comes to me. Today’s Manicure […]
