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 …

NYE Nails: Abstract Art Black, Silver, & Blue Glitter Manicure
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 …

Dip Painted Nails // Messy French Tip Manicure
Eager to try out the Messy French Tipped Manicure I was inspired by last week, I grabbed my two favorite blue hues and got to work. In the end, my left handiwork looked indeed like a messy French tip. But my other nails, painted with my right hand, looked more like clouds at the end …

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 …
DIY Brushed Ombre Accent Nail Tutorial // Fun Summer Manicure
Inspired by my Camp Beverly Hills sweatshirt, I painted my nails minty green and gray and wanted a little extra pink as accent nails to tie it all together. The colors are admittedly 80’s, and some of my favorites really, and I’m loving the ombre effect. I kind of wish I did it to every …
Pink and Silver Chanel Nails Tutorial… but I used neon purple instead
A few weeks ago I came across Chanel’s silver and pink 2012 runway nails and thought it was a better {and much easier} way to achieve that neon rimmed nail art manicure that didn’t go over so well — and I couldn’t wait to try it! Luckily I had a fresh pack of metallic silver …

Nails // Mid-Century Modern Manicure
A package arrived last week full of goodies for an upcoming Sonia Kashuk beauty review I’ve been asked to do… but I couldn’t wait and had to try out the nail colors asap! They were obviously made to complement each other and I actually love the mint with just the gold tips. But since it’s …
Black & White Inkblot Nails // DIY Rorschach Nail Art Manicure
I’m in love with this Rorschach Inkblot manicure. It spawned simply from wanting black and white nails without using polka dots or stripes. That was it really. But after I thought of it, I was perplexed at how to achieve the look without just free-handing it. So I kind of incorporated both. Obviously it can …

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 …
