New York Fashion Week: 3.1 Phillip Lim Fall/Winter 2014
Amped-up natural beauty with a kick of exaggerated edge was the beauty look that accompanied 3.1 Phillip Lim‘s graphic and geomerical Fall/Winter 2014 collection at New York Fashion Week. “It’s time to ‘rock the casbah’ this fall. A bold, angled brow, clean eyelids and slightly sculpted cheeks give a bit of new wave punk inspiration,” lead NARS […]
Manicure Monday: On the Dot
As I’m sure you all know by now, I can’t get enough of nail art. I’m always looking for new ideas, techniques, and styles. Admittedly, when there isn’t a holiday or big event going on, sometimes it can be hard to think of new, creative nail art ideas. Enter Nail Art Society. I recently signed […]
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: Silver Details
Manicures are a great way to express your feelings and personality without being in-your-face – unless, of course, you take a ton of photos and post all about your nails in a blog online, then maybe it’s in-your-face. Anyway, whether I’m feeling geeky, pretty, or punk, I can change my manicure as quickly as I […]
Manicure Monday: Acid Wash
Sometimes the coolest manicures require little to no skill – and this manicure is one of them. No precision, but all the impact. Acid-washed jeans are kind of like those manicures. They don’t take precision to create, but they definitely make a statement. Acid-wash jeans exploded into the style scene in the late 80’s/early 90’s […]
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: Shark Week
I have to admit, when I sat down to start this manicure, Shark Week was the last thing on my mind. In fact, I really don’t even like Shark Week – and I definitely don’t like sharks. My goal was to sit down and create a DIY chalkboard nail art tutorial – but after a conversation about […]
Manicure Monday: Alumni Pride
June is a big month for seniors, both in college and high school. For the high school seniors, you’re graduating and starting a new chapter in your life – college! It’s an entirely new experience from high school – your college is your home. Speaking from experience, your college comes to mean much more than […]
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
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 […]
