You can’t win em all, right? I love the colors. I love the idea {inspired by this mani}… I even tried out my new nail art tools… but oh it turned out horrible. It wasn’t so much that I couldn’t follow the line of the inner nail, it was more that I couldn’t keep the …
With sewing, nail art, and really anything else, I find that I do not like to follow a pattern, line or rule. This is one of the reasons I DIY rather than follow patterns. They drive me insane trying to get it perfect. Thus, throughout my life, I have learned to find perfection in imperfection …
Hmmm… I’m not sure I’m completely, 100% in love with this. I mean, I loved the idea and have wanted to create it for a few weeks now but again, I’m not sure it came out exactly how I was hoping. I like it but I think I may have to give it another go …
It’s been so warm in LA lately that it has really felt like Summer and has translated into tank tops and open toes and brightly colored nails. Incorporating fun Spring trends: sporty and neon, as I did with my DIY chain necklace last week and adding a silver stripe down the middle, I created a …
I’ve had these Raemon Becca “Toucons” nail decals and glitter gold polish since the 80’s. In fact, I just looked at the back of the little envelope and it says: Beverly Hills 1982 – (I was 6). I’m not even kidding. AND, I think they were hand-me-downs at that. Like someone was cleaning out their …
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 …
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 …
I’ve been dying to try out this new deep teal polish by Sephora by OPI for a few weeks now and am so excited to finally do so. I really love the color! It appears very dark, almost black even, but has a fantastic blue hue which happens to work really well with silver glitter. …
I can’t get enough of my gray nails for Fall… I just think they’re the perfect color for the moment; not too dark, not too light. Saying that, I spent about 3 weeks with my single hematite glitter nail and wanted to switch it up. So using the same colors – 2 coats of RGB …
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 …
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 …
Chanel is undoubtedly the “decider” when it comes to the nail color of the moment and this Summer is no different. With the release of Mimosa, fingers around the globe will look like they are tipped with little candies all Summer. The other day, while perusing my own colors for Summer nail inspiration, I realized …
If the opportunity presents itself, meaning: if I have enough other cabinet space in the bathroom to permit it, which I just so happen to have at the moment, I love storing my nail polishes {& nail tools} in the medicine cabinet above the sink. Here’s why: It all stays in one place. It helps …
A very perfectly chalky shade of Cornflower Blue, the new Essie Resort Collection (Summer 2010) – Lapis of Luxurywins as my new favorite nail color – hands down. And as much as I love the creamy cornflower blue color, it was by far my least favorite crayon due to its waxiness & lack of distributing …
Remember when that Chanel chalky minty colored polish was all the rage? I have to admit, I hated it. I mean, I thought it looked adorable on 20 something hipsters and the like …but it wasn’t for me. The other day I just happened upon a post on Gwen’s blog, Confessions of a Control Freak, …
