Pastels for Spring?!?! Groundbreaking I know, but I suppose it’s the Springtime version of my Bejeweled Manicure from last Fall/Winter, and though the alternating pastel manicure has been done before, I’ve never done it, so I thought I would. But rather than just leave my nails flat with chalky pastel goodness, I added a little …
Valentine’s Day Nails: Fiery Pink, Lace, Black Mesh, & Gold Glitter
It’s Friday and it’s February 1st and love is in the air! Doesn’t Bebop look lovely in pink pearls? As an alternative to last year’s cute hearts Valentine’s Day nail art, I thought I’d take the saucier route this year with a little hot pink, black lace mesh, and gold glitter. Now, there are many …

Spring Florals Nails // DIY Real Dried Flowers Manicure
After staring at my pretty dried flowers for a few weeks, I finally had a chance to test them out. And really, I LOVE THEM. No surprise there though 😉 They’re fun on every nail or would make really pretty accent nails for a more simple approach. I noticed the dye from the red flower …
Tie Dye Nails // Red, White, & Blue Manicure for the 4th of July
I’d been planning a festive red, white, & blue manicure for the 4th of July but hadn’t really come up with any original ideas until I featured a fun tie dye manicure tutorial on BlogHer Style over the weekend and was instantly hit with inspiration. But let me just warn you… this is not a …
Peach & Purple Nails Alternating Colors Manicure
After creating this manicure the other day, it occurred to me that I may have seen a similar technique on Consider Me Lovely’s Instagram feed. It wasn’t until a day after I painted my nails though that I realized I may have seen it elsewhere, though I’m still not completely sure. That’s how inspiration works …
Red & Green Nails ~ A Simple Christmas Manicure
I loved my festive glitter striped nails for about two days. Then, I have to admit, it was just too much for me. So I scaled down to a much simpler, yet still festive Christmas manicure of red and green. I really wasn’t going to post about them but had a few questions via my …
Festive Holiday Nails ~ Glitter Stripes
Another fun Martha Stewart glitter glue manicure! Stripes would be almost impossible for me to do without these easy squeezy tubes! I swear this stuff comes in so handy {hehe -no pun intended} for so many projects. I haven’t had red nails in so long I can’t even remember. The husband loves them {with or …
Midnight Purple Nails w/ Chunky Gold Glitter Stripe Space Manicure
Now more than ever nails have become an added accessory to outfits… and I love it. This weekend is my cousin’s bachelorette part and I plan on wearing a black dress with gold shoes so I thought I’d give myself a manicure that would compliment the outfit. I used OPI “Lincoln Park After Dark” which …
Bubble Gum Pink & Silver Glitter Accent Nails
I’m going to be completely honest when I say I painted my nails these colors because I knew they would match my engagement and wedding rings AND the new anniversary bands. Yes, it was a cheeseball move but I actually loved the way they looked. I found a seriously old Wet n’ Wild pink in …
Summer Manicure | Bright Coral Red + Gold Glitter Accent Nails
Oh Summer, why do you come and go so much faster than I’d like? I know I may be jumping the gun because it will be warm in LA until mid October but with football and fall fashion on the brink, the colder and darker months are looming. So with that in mind, I decided …
Nude Nails w/ dipped Glitter Tips
I’m in the throes of the BlogHer Conference and having a blast! So much so that I forgot to post today {which is the first time in the history of this blog that I actually FORGOT to post}. I’m happy to say my obligatory BlogHerness is complete and now I just get to enjoy the …
"You can tell a lot from a person’s nails. When a life starts to unravel, they’re among the first to go."
Image source: Deesse Magazine Last Friday I featured my favorite Summer 2011 Nail Color Trends at BlogHer Style and while I’m totally still loving my yellow nails though in truth, they are bare at the moment, I can’t resist all the fun nail art that has been making the rounds on the internet the past …
DIY Spirit Fingers | Sequin & Beaded Rings inspired by Ralph Rucci Spring RTW 2014
After seeing these AMAZING bedazzled fingers created by Max Kibardin for the Ralph Rucci RTW Spring 2014 runway collection, I just had to recreate them. I thought the easiest way to get a similar look was with stretchy sequined trim, though I only had gold to work with. So I got busy… you may have …
DIY Dolce & Gabbana Gold Jeweled Headband – Crown Tutorial
I am LOVING everything Dolce & Gabbana is doing right now. Their gold crowns parading down the runways as if belonging to royalty, beaded lace dresses and shoes, HUGE gilded & bejeweled cross earrings, and looks complete with deep red lips and sultry cat eyes. It’s all so regal with a hint of Medieval and …
