Manicure Monday: Au Naturale
You might be wondering why my nails aren’t painted here. I put a lot of thought into this week’s Manicure Monday post, but not in the way you’d expect. I have spent countless hours planning the colors, patterns and techniques I use to create a Manicure Monday tutorial each week. But this week – and for […]
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: Faux Diamonds
I am absolutely in love with the idea of gems, lace, and other things to bedazzle your manicure. I’m not quite as in love with anything that will make my manicure 3D. If my nails aren’t totally smooth, I find that my nails snag on my hair way too often. So as much as I […]
Manicure Monday: Minnie Mouse
There’s something about Disney that’s so … magical. I don’t think I know anyone that doesn’t like Disney. In fact, I don’t even know anyone who is neutral about Disney. Everyone loves Disney! So why not make a Disney-themed manicure? This week’s manicure is a tribute to none other than Minnie Mouse! The bright red […]
Manicure Monday: Red, White & Blue
For the 4th of July, I thought about trying to recreate the flag. When it comes to the American flag, however, I really think that Betsy Ross did it best. Creating tiny, intricate stars and perfectly balanced stripes is no easy task, especially if you’re downsizing it to your fingernail. There are so many options […]
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: Spring Designs
My manicures are my form of art. Whether through colors or designs, manicures are how I express my style or current mood. I’m not impartial when it comes to my manicures, though – I definitely pick favorites. One of my absolute favorites was my galaxy manicure. On the other hand, there are manicures that aren’t […]
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. Good thing Ipsy gave me a […]
Manicure Monday: Ombre Nails
Ombre is huge right now, whether it’s on your hair, your dress, or your nails. But it’s not an easy look to get. I’ve tried doing an ombre manicure in the past, and I can never seem to pick the right colors. China Glaze makes it easy for you with their Ombre kits! They have […]
