It’s been ages since I gave myself a pretty nail art manicure or even just painted my nails. In fact, I think the last one was in fall, way back in September, the exact opposite of spring, and it was a twist on a french manicure in brown tones. With all the extra vitamins I’ve …
In an effort to get into a cozy fall mood, I searched for a little fall fashion inspiration and fell a little in love with the brown and white color palette Instagrammer Mary Lawless Lee wears so effortlessly. I decided to give it a try on my nails first and must say that it is …
A few weeks ago I did a fun pastel nail art manicure on my nails and just loved the little pops of pastel color I’d see while my hands were busy doing their thing… it just made me smile. It had been so long since I’d painted my nails that having ANY color on my …
Spring has SPRUNG on my fingers! My pretty floral ear jackets from aurate finally arrived and I love them (see photos below)… and then they inspired this little nail art manicure, kind of. My nails have been growing like crazy during quarantine and I think it has to do with all the extra vitamins I’m …
My nails have grown SO LONG during this quarantine and it’s kind of amazing! I mean, okay, they’re not THAT LONG comparatively speaking, but for MY little nails, this is something! Usually by the time they get this long they start breaking but I’ve been lucky so far, so I decided now was as good …
Pale pink manicure with leopard accents via @mrskmeaks I’m on a leopard kick this week (I’ve even changed all my featured posts to LEOPARD themed) and upon looking around for more, I realized that I’ve never done a leopard print nail art tutorial! Though this one reminds me of cat eyes, I was shocked myself… …
When we opened Dogwood a few months ago I realized my hands might be center of attention – ahem- unless maybe I wear a very low cleavage-enhancing top 
BUT mostly, my hands are pouring drinks and delivering food and gesticulating wildly as I speak to customers and friends… and I want them to look …
I can’t help but notice all the super soft pink nails fluttering around on fingertips lately. In mattes and glosses and a little nail art to top it off, shades of light pink look good on every skin tone. However, when I try baby pink polishes, they either finish too sheer or too bubble gum …
I wanted to do a take on a classic French Manicure but add a twist. There are two reasons behind this: First, French Tips are a bit difficult to manage on your own, and are generally saved for nails which are much longer than mine. Second, though they’re a classic neutral, they can also look …
It was the pretty floral nail art and faux finger tattoos in the photos above that captured my attention and led me to this super talented nail artist, Lady Crappo… and then I couldn’t stop scrolling through her photos of her nail designs. I’d love to have just chosen a few to feature, but there …
I was working with a brand on a beauty campaign for a quick social media nail art video when they decided to cancel the campaign altogether… so I decided, since my little video was already done, and since it’s still technically the holidays, I may as well share it here with you. Watch my Simple …
Okay, so I haven’t done a nail art manicure in AGES… and it’s because I rarely actually am into nail art too much anymore and I stick to basic black or classic red at all times. But I was inspired to do a little fleshy pink manicure with black outlines and it was a major …
Adorable and 100% addicting, Two Dots is a new puzzle game available for free download for iOS and Android… and I just cannot stop playing! The super cute and friendly illustrations along with the muted, but poppy colors and music, make it engaging and visually stimulating all at the same time. It feels like a …
For obvious reasons, I fell instantly in love with the new MyNCLA app where you can customize your own nail wraps with photos right on your phone, and I did just that. You can read through my recent post where I demonstrated a step by step of the process using the app that you quickly …
I’m loving this bright royal blue on my nails lately. It really pops whether you’re pale or tan, and is a fun spring/summer color. This isn’t really a tutorial, but I added a an off-center stripe in monochromatic blue glitter to give them a little more pizazz. * Title: Lorde “Royals” Here’s What I Used… …
