Manicure Monday: Summer Sunsets

Manicure Monday: Summer Sunsets

Summer is by far my favorite season. There is nothing I love more than relaxing on the beach – I love to put my beach chair right where the surf hits the sand. It’s hot out, but with the water coming up and hitting my feet … there’s just no better feeling. Naturally, I had […]

Manicure Monday: Favorite Things

I’m always looking for manicure inspiration everywhere I go. Sometimes I get inspired by a piece of clothing I own, sometimes I get inspired by a holiday or what’s on TV – and sometimes I just get inspired by the nail polish and nail art tools I have sitting in my room. This manicure was inspired […]

In last week’s Manicure Monday post, I told you about the nail polish my little sister picked me up on her trip to South Korea. I’m currently obsessed with them, so this week, I couldn’t wait to use them again!

My little sister recently took a trip to South Korea, so naturally, when she asked what souvenir I wanted, I said nail polish. She came back with the eight beauties, plus some fun nail art studs. Obviously, I couldn’t wait to get started! A black and white glitter polish really caught my eye – it’s a […]

Manicure Monday: Back to Design

I wanted to thank everyone for the kind words I’ve been receiving about starting up my weekly Manicure Monday posts again. For those that don’t know, I’m coming out of quite a busy period in my life. I was applying to new jobs, helping to plan my sister’s wedding, and moving to a totally different […]

Manicure Monday: Glitz & Glam

And we’re back! I’ve hardly had time to slap some clear polish on my nails in the past few months, let alone create a manicure worthy of a Manicure Monday blog post. Between finding a new job, moving, and planning my sister’s wedding, it’s been a crazy couple of months. But I did it – […]

In what was possibly the most perfect gift for me, I was given a Michael Kors Nail Lacquer gift set, complete with Runway Star, Rock Star and Superstar – three glam shimmery shades.  I immediately fell in love with the colors and the opacity of the polishes.  I had to create a rock star manicure to […]

If you haven’t been able to tell by now, I’m obsessed with nail studs.  I love how easy they make it to add a pop of color and texture to your manicure.  I received some more studs in this month’s Nail Art Society kit – this time, it included small gold squares – and I […]

For me, manicure inspiration can come from so many places. My manicure is my way of showing how I’m feeling, following trends, and expressing myself.  Sometimes I tie it into current events, holidays, or even what I’m wearing. The inspiration behind this week’s manicure? Fashion.

Manicure Monday: Mad About Plaid

There’s nail art, and then there’s nail art. It can be as simple or as complex as you make it.  You can do a simple French manicure or you can create a complicated design.  This week’s manicure? It’s pretty complicated – but that didn’t stop me from trying to tackle it.  If you’re patient enough (and […]
