October is by far my favorite month because HALLOWEEN, of course, but it’s also Breast Cancer Awareness month, so I couldn’t NOT mention it in some form or another because it’s important to all of us and we all know someone affected by this terrible disease {and we all hope that it never comes after …
OPI is one of my favorite nail lacquer brands, so I was super excited to try out new OPI Infinite Shine and get to work on a playful nail art manicure. Available in 36 beautiful shades with clever OPI names, of course, Infinite Shine boasts hi-def gel shine without the light… and I have to …
I’m not sure what it is but every time I paint my nails any color but classic red lately, I want it off the very next day. It’s strange because I’ve never really been drawn to red nails other than maybe around the holidays, but now it’s all I want to wear. I did this …
Just recently I had a moment where I was kind of heading toward being totally over nail art… and then minutes later had this idea for a Christmas manicure, so there’s that. I’m kind of just loving simple classic colors on my nails without the distraction of all the frills, but that could change of …
I love a good jewel hued manicure for Fall… it just puts me in that blustery kind of mood, and I love these two-toned metallic/green/purple nails because well, they’re an easy nail art design that anyone can do that look totally polished at the same time. It’s such a simple manicure that it doesn’t even …
Friday evening while watching the Stand Up To Cancer special, I was inspired to create a manicure to share here as a way to become part of the movement to bring awareness to this great charity whose mission is to raise funds to accelerate the pace of groundbreaking research that can get new therapies to …
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 …
This is usually about the time of Summer when I’m over the heat and done with bright and festive colors and start fantasizing about my Fall wardrobe –as if it’s going to be so dreamy and different this year than any other– and also dark nails. I thought the best way to ease into dark …

Unfortunately I think the title of this post is a little more exciting than the actual manicure. But in real life, it was pretty cute. Though the neon colors turned pastel-y and this mani would kind of be the perfect Easter nail art, it was subtle and easy and matched my hilariously gaudy rhinestone peacock …
There’s something about this manicure that I am utterly obsessed with. I think it’s the perfect combination of subtle yet loud, ladylike but rebellious, mainstream but counter culture… and I just adore it. It’s so easy, I can’t believe I hadn’t thought of it sooner, and I’m sure it’s been done before for the same …
Since the @ussoccer team is still in the running for the World Cup AND since the 4th of July is just days away, this red, white, and blue manicure works for both team USA spirit fingers and holiday fun and I just LOVE IT! Of course, each week I do a new and fun nail …
Keeping in line with my ’90s theme as of late, and inspired by the fun floaty floral prints of the decade {and Drew Barrymore, of course} I created these cute daisy nails on a black background… and I’m in love. However, I’m guessing if you were around in the ’60s, it would also represent that …
Inspired by Audrey Hepburn’s adorable sleep mask in the movie Breakfast at Tiffany’s {which I wanted to DIY the first time I ever saw the movie in my late teens}, I created this simple but sweet shimmery closed eye and eyelashes manicure and I’m in love. I have to admit, it’s cuter in person and …
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… …
