Manicure Monday: BCA Strength
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and I plan on showing my support for the cause the best way I know how – with a manicure. Last year, each of our editors painted our pinkies pink to show our support, and this year, I’m going all out – all pink everything. Whether you try this […]
Manicure Monday: NYFW
We’re all in a current state of Fashion Week frenzy. While fall fashions are exploding in stores, spring fashions are gracing the runways in New York, Milan, and Paris. Naturally, I get most excited about new trends in beauty, but I was honestly a little disappointed by the nail art I’ve seen from Fashion Week. […]
Manicure Monday: Silver Details
Manicures are a great way to express your feelings and personality without being in-your-face – unless, of course, you take a ton of photos and post all about your nails in a blog online, then maybe it’s in-your-face. Anyway, whether I’m feeling geeky, pretty, or punk, I can change my manicure as quickly as I […]
Manicure Monday: Minnie Mouse
There’s something about Disney that’s so … magical. I don’t think I know anyone that doesn’t like Disney. In fact, I don’t even know anyone who is neutral about Disney. Everyone loves Disney! So why not make a Disney-themed manicure? This week’s manicure is a tribute to none other than Minnie Mouse! The bright red […]
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: 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: Ombre Graffiti
When it comes to creating nail art, there’s a lot of ways you can go about creating the look you want. You can either invest in a professional manicure – or you can get creative. Tape can help you get straight lines, a dotting tool (or even a bobbi pin or paper clip!) can create […]
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 […]
