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… …
This manicure is so easy and it’s really become a new favorite. It’s not an overwhelming amount of crazy on your nails but more than just a simple color. I love the pinky/ring/thumb combo vs just the one accent nail, especially when the accent is so minimal like this one. The colors lend themselves well …
After painting my nails the other day in this bright summery orangey peach color {which definitely appears more vibrant in reality, even though the photos make it look like it’s close to my actual skin tone or a coral red} then grabbed a bottle of white polish and my nail art dotting tool as well …
Wearing: DIY Slashed Sweatshirt, vintage leopard blouse, DIY Huge Flower Pin As someone who’s never attended the music festival Coachella, I can’t really claim to know exactly what Coachella nails would look like, so I may be way off here, which is why this nail art manicure received two names. But based on the numerous …
Inspired by Valentine’s Day and my engagement ring, I created a soft pink manicure with silver hearts and crystals that spells out ‘LOVE YOU’ when held next to each other. What’s great though is that from far away, it just looks pretty and sparkly, but those close enough to you will get the message. It’s …
I’ve been trying to think of a cute new Valentine’s Day Manicure like my Heart Nails from a few years ago, but I’m a little lacking in the creativity department lately. Luckily it’s just the beginning of February so I have a little over a week to think of something else. But this is a …
I bought the husband the Nike+ Fuelband for Christmas and two days later had to buy one for myself because it was so cool and he was having so much fun with it. I got the limited edition Fuelband with the rose gold clasp and LOVE IT… but I think it’s sold out now :(. …
Jamberry Nails sent me a fun packet of nail art wrap designs to try out over a month ago but I’ve been giving my nails a rest to rejuvenate. After months of weekly nail art manicures, they start losing their vitality, and begin cracking, and breaking daily, and so I generally like to give them …
While ready-made nail art sets are fabulous gift options, this DIYer would prefer to pull together one of my own. So I’ve done just that! I’ve rounded up my favorite nail polishes, accessories, brushes, tools, and MORE to include in the ULTIMATE DIY nail art gift set, perfect for any friend, daughter, mom, sister, nail …
I thought I’d do one more Halloween manicure, for the actual day {TODAY!} Since I’m not sure I’ll be dressing up in costume, I wanted to have a little spooky spirit anyway. And nail art is the easiest way to keep the spirit and holiday festive feeling while being totally lazy on every other level, …
Last year, I did a fun take on SEISMOGRAPH NAILS using BLACK, COPPER, & SILVER METALLIC polishes for Halloween and I loved it. It was abstract and could be redone in any colors, for any season. But this year I wanted my Halloween nails to be a bit more specific. A few months ago Hex …

So I’ve collaborated with both brands to share my Italian designer inspired manicure using classic nail …
