A red, white, and blue mani for the 4th of July is the EASIEST way to add a bit of festive patriotism to your holiday weekend wardrobe… and since nail art is still trending hard, why not let your hands do the talking? Last year I created red, white, and blue Tie Dye Nails for …
I’ve been itching for inspiration to DIY a new nail art tutorial for you, but in all honesty, all I want to wear is solid white nails. It just feels so fresh right now and I love looking down and seeing my chalky white nails against any background. They’re so summery but with a bit …
I did this last weekend and loved it. It’s the perfect neutral shade with a pop. I think it will be so fun to try with so many different colors though… I love the metallic for the diagonal stripes because it’s thinner and dries quicker than regular polish and doesn’t always need a second coat. …
For as many manicure DIYs and nail art tutorials circulating around the internet, pedicures and foot maintenance seem to be far less buzzworthy. Which makes sense really, because feet are ugly, unless you’re into that kind of thing, of course. But also, for many seasons, our toes are hidden in the deep, dark tips of …
The glitter nail polish I made last week has recently become a favorite. Yeah, I say that with each manicure I do, but this one has stayed on like nobody’s business, with very little chipping. I’m sure it has something to do with the fact that I used a base coat, but who knows. About …
It’s been all over the internet for ages, yes, girls making their own polishes, and even selling them on Etsy {how fun!} so I thought why not give it a try for myself. Really, it’s more of a response to the two tiny bottles of clear polish I got free with purchase as a Sephora …
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 …
Just as I was growing out my nails for a fun St. Patrick’s Day manicure, 5 of them broke. It happens. So I changed plans. I’m really never one for super cutesy stuff, nail art included, so I thought I’d grab my emerald green and gold bits and create a sort of trail to a …
As you may have guessed, I was inspired by Monday’s post: Decorating with Branches, and decided to create a little branch nail art manicure, which could also be construed as Cherry Blossoms due to the pink flowers I added. I love that this manicure is in line with all the pale nails we saw on …
These are my favorite nails as of late. There’s really nothing original to it, but I love the mix of metallics, especially the 3 golds: White Gold, Rose Gold, & Yellow Gold. I just alternated the colors so no two of the same would sit next to the other. The Rose Gold is my go-to …
A few weeks ago my trusty 1″ Hot Tools curling iron finally called it quits. I think I bought it in or around 2003, so almost ten years of soft waving and amazing curls makes for a good buy, in my opinion. It remains my favorite, I must admit. But while searching for a replacement …
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 …
I saw so many pale nails on the Spring 2013 runways but wasn’t quite really ready to give up on fun nail art designs just yet, so I thought I’d play around with some light neutrals and here’s what I came up with. It is simply a take on the Chanel nails from last year …
My New Year’s Eve manicure is directly inspired by my NYE outfit, which is generally in this color palette, and of course, abstract rather than precise. It actually kind of reminds me of a bathing suit I had in the 80’s, which I loved, obviously 
I was originally leaning towards black with blue only …
