Manicure Monday: Watercolors

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 […]

Manicure Monday: Tribal Accents

Manicure Monday: Tribal Accents

When it comes to nail art, tribal accents look like possibly one of the most complicated designs. I’ve always been drawn to the design, but with such small details, I’ve never been brave enough to try it. And that is what today’s Manicure Monday is all about – making the tribal manicure easy. You’ll find […]

Manicure Monday: Delete Digital Drama

Seventeen Magazine and OPI have teamed up to Delete Digital Drama and take a stand against cyberbullying by creating their new #17delete polish. Bullying is a serious issue, and cyberbullying is arguably even worse.  The Delete Digital Drama campaign seeks to spread awareness about cyberbullying and put an end to it. I think the Internet is […]

Manicure Monday: Matte Jelly Glitter

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: Matte & Glossy Polka Dots

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 […]

Minute Manicure Removal

Minute Manicure Removal

I change my nail polish as often as I change my clothes. Okay – not that often, but I still do my nails more often than the average person.  When it comes to taking my polish off, the cotton balls can add up.  Until I learned a neat little trick to use only ONE cotton ball […]

Manicure Monday: Chevron Stripes

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 […]

Manicure Monday: Monochrome Matte French

Manicure Monday: Monochrome Matte French

A French manicure is always classy. It’s hands down my favorite way to do my nails. I think it’s sleek, pretty, feminine, and elongates your nails like no other manicure can. All that being said, if I wrote a blog each week about how much I love the classic French manicure, it would get boring. […]

Today, using a little bit of tape and glitter, we’ve created a Christmas tree manicure! I love this look because it’s actually way easier than it looks […]

Manicure Monday: Halloweenified

Manicure Monday: Halloweenified

With Halloween coming up, I wanted to make sure this week’s Manicure Monday was spooky! Whether you dress up in full costume for Halloween or not, nail art is a great way to celebrate the holiday.  It’s a simple statement that can make a big impact.  And with Halloween, there are so many different designs […]
