Manicure Monday: Feathery Accent

It’s Manicure Monday once again! I’ve been pulling a lot of inspiration from Pinterest for my manicures lately, whether it’s for the colors, the theme, or the actual design.  Ideas have to come from somewhere, and Pinterest is a great place to go for inspiration of any kind!  I’ve noticed a lot of manicures that […]

Manicure Monday: Paint Your Pinkies Pink!

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the editors of The Collabor-eight are spicing up our manicures by painting our pinkies pink!

Manicure Monday: Faux Claws

Manicure Monday: Faux Claws

The thing I might love most about nail polish is how versatile it is.  You can take the same colors and apply them in different ways to get completely different manicures.  On the other hand, you could do the exact same design in different colors and get a different effect!  For example, a classic French […]

Manicure Monday: Graduation Glitter

For my graduation from Villanova University this May, my two sisters got me the best graduation present – personalized nail polish.  Thanks to Dollish Polish, a homemade nail polish vendor, they had two polishes made for me that no one else in the world has – “‘V’ for Villanova” and “Nova Nation,” two phrases that […]

Manicure Monday: Frenchie

My hands-down favorite manicure has always been the classic French.  It’s simple and elegant.  It always makes my nails look longer and prettier than they really are.  I think it’s a great manicure for almost any occasion.  I like to play up a French manicure any way I can, and for Manicure Monday this week, […]

Manicure Monday: Inspired by Color

Manicure Monday: Inspired by Color

As much as I love looking for inspiration on Pinterest, I know that I’m limited in terms of nail art by what I can actually do and what tools I have at home.  It’s more important for me to have a simple-yet-neat design than an intricate-but-possibly-sloppy design.  Sometimes when I’m trying to figure out what […]

Manicure Monday: Nicki Minaj for OPI

Manicure Monday: Nicki Minaj for OPI

As much as we all love nail art, sometimes it’s important to let the polish shine.  Nicki Minaj’s OPI collection is quite possibly my favorite nail polish collection, color-wise, of all time.  That’s not even an exaggeration.  The range of color is so big, but they all manage to work well together at the same […]

So the Olympics are in full swing and you haven’t left the couch for days. We get it. Collaboreight editors have been glued to the TV since the opening ceremony, but somehow bronze, silver, and gold seem right at our fingertips. (See what I did there?) If the closest I’ll ever get to an Olympic […]
