Manicure Monday: Valentine’s Day Heart
When I sat down to do my Valentine’s Day-themed Manicure Monday, I had big ideas to do a different pattern on every nail. Glitter, hearts, polka dots, flowers, matte polish, everything. I started to do the manicure, and I realized that my nails started to look like a tacky Valentine’s Day card. Obviously that’s not […]
Manicure Monday: Chevron Stripes
I look for inspiration for my Manicure Monday designs in a lot of places. Sometimes I think about what events I’ll be attending that week, sometimes I look at what new techniques I’d like to try, and sometimes I just stare at my nail polish collection and hope that something comes to me. Today’s Manicure […]
Manicure Monday: Pretty & Polished
As anyone that knows me knows, nail polish is my favorite hobby, my favorite love, and maybe even my biggest vice. I have more nail polish than I really know what to do with, but I can’t help myself from buying more. I love finding new colors that I’ve never seen before, but that seems […]
Manicure Monday: Halloweenified
With Halloween coming up, I wanted to make sure this week’s Manicure Monday was spooky! Whether you dress up in full costume for Halloween or not, nail art is a great way to celebrate the holiday. It’s a simple statement that can make a big impact. And with Halloween, there are so many different designs […]
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! This idea was inspired by British nail polish brand Nails Inc.’s campaign for October. We’ve all found that this fun nail art sparks a conversation: what a great way to spread the word […]
Manicure Monday: Neon Brights
Happy Manicure Monday, beauty lovers! I wanted today’s manicure to be fun and different. Something that looks difficult, but really isn’t. You can’t get a complicated-looking manicure using only one color (I don’t think!), so the key to this mani is using a lot of bright colors that stand out against each other. Love this […]
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, […]
