Manicure Monday: Little Mermaid

Manicure Monday: Little Mermaid

For Halloween this year, my team at work went as hipster Disney princesses, and I was a hipster Little Mermaid. I went all out with my costume – long red wig, suspenders, boots, thick glasses, fork … I mean, dinglehopper – and all I needed was the perfect manicure to go with it! I decided […]

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: Matte Tribal

If you’re looking for a fun, impressive manicure, look no further.  Tribal print manicures can be pretty impressive, but also pretty hard to accomplish.  The amount of detail involved can prove tricky for even the most accomplished manicurist.  Have no fear – I’ve found a solution.  All you need for this manicure? Your favorite polish […]

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: Galaxy Nails

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: You’re Such a BudaPest

Manicure Monday: You’re Such a BudaPest

I’ve recently fallen in love with OPI’s Euro Centrale collection.  From Polka.com, a fun blue and violet glitter, to My Vampire is Buff, a creamy nude, the colors are so perfect for Spring.  One of my favorites from the collection is You’re Such a BudaPest, a lovely shade of what OPI calls “periwinkle-purple.”  I even […]

Manicure Monday: Neutral Daisies

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

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 […]
