Manicure Monday: Pink Glitter
Happy Manicure Monday! What I love most about style is how often you can change it up. A girly girl rocking a motorcycle jacket is unexpected and fun. Combinations of lace and leather, pearls and studs, or even flowers and skulls show versatility and creativity when it comes to style. I have days when I […]
Manicure Monday: London Calling
With British mania sparked by the upcoming Olympic Games in London, I absolutely had to create a manicure inspired by the hype. I’ve had this Manicure Monday planned for months, ever since Editor-in-Chief Kristine sent me Rimmel London’s Instant Art Press On Color nail stickers with a British flag pattern. I knew I had to […]
Manicure Monday: Preppy Blues
My inspiration for this week’s Manicure Monday came from my weekend getaway in Ocean City, Maryland with my boyfriend. I’m typically dedicated to the Jersey Shore, but as a last hurrah before we both start work, we decided to do some traveling. Ocean City is absolutely beautiful. For those of you that know the Jersey […]
Manicure Monday: Black Caviar
5,000 page views and the purchase of our very own domain name is cause for celebration! I’ve decided to celebrate in the best way I know how – my manicure! The most perfect celebration manicure is a caviar manicure, of course. Thanks to an awesome graduation present from one of my sorority sisters (Thanks, Melissa!), […]
Manicure Monday: Polka Dots!
For this week’s Manicure Monday, I was inspired by Pinterest. I’m not quite sure who pinned what, but I know I saw polka dots and needed to try it. Who doesn’t love some good ol’ fashioned polka dots? I wasn’t sure how to achieve this look without clumping gobs of polish onto my nail (which […]

Manicure Monday: Flower Power
As dedicated as I am to the tried-and-true manicure, I’m always up for trying something new. This week, that “something new” is Sally Hansen Salon Effects Real Nail Polish Strips. I actually tried them once before, a few months ago, and swore I would never use them again because it took forever for me to […]
OPI’s Holland Collection
On Friday, I’m leaving for a nine day tour of Holland, Luxembourg, and Belgium! While I’m there, I will be scouring the shops to bring you my favorite finds from each country (including local beauty products!) To get myself into character, I’ve been rocking polishes from OPI’s Spring 2012 Holland collection.
Manicure Monday: Violet Daze
As you may or may not know, manicures are my thing. Little Orphan Annie might say that you’re never fully dressed without a smile, but I like to say that you’re never fully dressed without a fresh mani. Last Thursday, I was getting ready for my last college formal. I wanted to go all out. I […]
Manicure Monday: DIY Nail Stickers!
As posting pictures and tutorials of weekly manicures has become an internet sensation across Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook, and Pinterest, I’ve decided to make it a weekly addition to the Collabor-eight! I have been a manicure enthusiast since I can remember – honestly. I remember sitting around watching my mom paint her nails in absolute awe of […]
