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! […]

For all those I haven’t blabbed to, I’m currently spending the week in Paris! What better way to rock Manicure Monday in France than with a French manicure?

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.

You’ll find […]
