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 …
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 …
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 …
I don’t really rock nail art manicures too often anymore but simply stick with a few coats of my favorite classic red on my nails… pretty much at all times. However, when I added tiny crystal triangle studs to my deep purple manicure for my Halloween tablescape, I couldn’t help thinking how much better it …
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 …
