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.

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 …

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 …
After seeing these AMAZING bedazzled fingers created by Max Kibardin for the Ralph Rucci RTW Spring 2014 runway collection, I just had to recreate them.
