Birthday Nails!-Your birthday, one of the most important days of the year. . .well to you at least and some of your loved ones. Depending on how you feel about birthdays
Side Triangles: via Paintbox-If you’ve been reading my blog then you’re aware that I’m a big fan of Paintbox nail studio in NYC (even though I’ve never been there). Their thoughtfully curated nail designs are too good. They’re so simple but so cool that every season when they put out a new set I look at my phone like,
Reverse French Tip-So if you’ve been reading this blog you know how I feel about a French Tip manicure. I’m not really a fan. To refresh your memory, or get up to speed, you can read why I’m not a fan here. However, I will make an exception for
Halloween 2017-Halloween. Not my most favorite holiday. I’ve never really been a fan, and it’s stemmed from when I was a child. I always felt that Halloween is the time of year to get really creative with your costume. When I was a toddler getting dressed up for Halloween was easy. From what I can remember my costumes consisted of Princess Jasmine from Aladdin and
Finding Your Color Palette-I felt the importance of writing this post because there’s nothing that irks me more than buying a bottle of nail polish and when you go to use it the color does not look good on you. Perfect example:
Essie: Baguette Me Not-‘Baguette Me Not’ is from Essie’s Summer 2017 Collection. It’s a shade of lilac with pink undertones. ‘Baguette Me Not’ is feminine with an edge. The color is
Glow Sticks-Neon Manicures. They’re too good. A neon manicure is a favorite of mine just because the manicure speaks for itself. You don’t have to do any crazy designs or add any extra textures to the manicure. Its greatness stands alone. So what do you do when you have a fun vacation just days away?
Unfinished Perfection-I’m always looking for new ways to create a manicure. Something that’s fun, different, and unique to my style, but still appropriate for a professional setting during the week. I came across this manicure on
Revamping the French-Growing up I was obsessed with a French manicure. It made me feel grown up and sophisticated. My mom always put a sheer opal essence nail polish over the French tip to give my manicure some extra sass. However, the older I got I realized
Jackson Pollock Anyone?-I’m a huge fan of art. Growing up in a creative, artistic household my mother exposed my brothers and I to art in all forms. I’ve definitely taken my fair share of art classes growing up as well. So when I came across this nail design created for Essie by
Blue Steel-Summer is around the corner and we’re all in need of some fresh designs for our manicured hands. I got the idea for this manicure from Paint Box Nails. I just love
Audrey Elegance-When wearing a color from OPI’s Breakfast at Tiffany’s collection, and the color that is named just that, I figured the manicure had to be just as elegant and sophisticated. I got the idea for this manicure from the manicure displayed in my review of OPI’s Rich Girls and PoBoys (tutorial for that manicure will be posted soon), but wanted to simplify it more and keep …
Paint Box Nails Inspiration-I really wish I could remember how I discovered this little gem of “nailspiration”. I was super juiced when I discovered it, a little bummed to discover their only location is in New York, and pretty confident in knowing
Festival Season 2017-It’s that time of year: festival season. AKA where everyone does THE MOST for the gram. I myself am not a festival season type of girl. It’s not my thing and that’s completely ok. However,
Nailed by Rodarte-So NYFW SS17. The Rodarte fashion show. Those “gilded cuticles” were perfection. As I said in my Getting Nailed by NYFW post, the manicure was so simple yet it still grabs your attention. Who would have thought
Facts.-Around my family and close circle of friends I’m known for my nails never really chipping that much. I don’t use gel polish at all and I’m always asked, “how do they not chip?!”. It’s quite simple. Healthy nail beds and good base and top coats are of primary
