Snakeskin prints have been everywhere in the fall and are still fairly common now. They might not be as big anymore, but the pattern is still lovely. If the trend intrigued you, but you never tried it out, there’s an easier way to wear the print. You can wear it on your nails. This is…
Festive Swarovski Black and White French Nails
These are the nails that went with the New Year’s dress from this post. They’ve held up surprisingly well actually and barring the few crystals I’ve had to replace, they’re still in really good condition. I’ve currently had them on for over a week. I find that’s often the case with white nails, but the polish…
Fall Foliage and Gold Glitter Ombre Nails
I’ve been less consistent with my blog posts and Instagram the last few weeks. My health has taken a turn for the worse and I’ve been in rather a lot of pain (still am to be honest). I try to keep up with things (daily Instagram posts and biweekly blog posts) because this is my…
Traditional Halloween Manicure
I shared my first Halloween inspired manicure for the season here. The earlier version was subtle, but now I felt it was time to bring on the witches, bats and pumpkins. It’s still a fairly simple manicure. I used a slightly shimmery white base that I thought added a bit of a ghostly vibe with…
Halloween Inspired Manicure
First of all, you guys noticed I missed a post. I was really sick and almost couldn’t make it out of bed. I’m just starting to shuffle around now, but I wanted to get this post up. I’m hoping to get an extra post up next week too to make up for the missed one,…
3D Nail Art Series Part 1: Metal Studs
This is my first series on this blog, but I thought it was about time I started one. I post quite a few nail art looks and I thought it would be nice to start organizing them in this way. 3D has been a nail trend I’m digging lately so the first series is on…
What’s Wrong with Chalk?
A white nail polish that is chalk white is something that people tend to avoid. Brands are often frowned upon for creating such colors and they are often only purchased to be used as a base for something else. The white nail polish you see in this manicure embraced the often frowned…
The Trick to Neon Nail Polish
Neon nail polish is almost a summer staple (although it’s fun to wear in the winter as well). Unfortunately, applying neon nail polish often requires a very large number of coats. While I do own a few colors that are good to go in 2, most of them require 5 coats or more. This is…
Bohemian French Nails with Swarovski Crystals
These were my birthday nails. I went with a somewhat bohemian manicure with Swarovski crystals. There’s nothing quite like Swarovski crystals. They are incredibly shiny and have a huge variety of colors. The problem is that they need to be attached with nail glue since covering them with topcoat decreases their shine significantly. This also…
Bohemian Pearl Grey Nails with Opal Beads
When I’m coming up with a manicure (or an outfit for that matter), I usually start with one aspect of it that catches my eye and work my way towards the rest. The dark designs were my starting point here. They needed a light base and I wanted a polish that would…
