Given my busy schedule lately (not complaining, I thrive in chaos!) I haven’t posted my Mani-Monday’s in about 6 weeks. Sad.
Not one to disappoint, here is a montage of manis. Enjoy!
Funky reverse French – hot pink. White. Black. A lot of scotch tape and patience.
Bonus Pedi! Black base with white stripes and a little purple heart.
50 shades of grey 😉 Ok, kidding. It’s ombre! White, light grey, dark grey, black.
Leopard and funky French tips. Whoah. Teal, silver, black.
I’ll make this quick, because, you know, Dancing with the Stars is about to begin!
Here’s my mani for this week:
Nude base, funky french tips (in red and black). Totally free-handed that, don’t judge!
Annnndd, forgot to post from last week!
Aqua base and splashes of sparkly silver sponged on.
Enjoy and happy polishing!
Oh hey there. I know… You all are deprived of my posts. Fear not. I am back!
This is a short and simple Mani-Monday!
Pink, white, black. Lots of scotch tape and lots of drying time.
And there you have it! A lil nail-inspiration. Enjoy and happy polishing.
It’s my final mani (and pedi) of 2013!
Here’s my understated holiday-ness:
Cherry red nails with gold chevron accent (this goes well with my NYE dress).
For my toes… Silver with black French tips. A subtle twist on a classic design.
So grab your nail polish bottles and get ready to paint your 2014!
It’s mani (and pedi) time!
It’s the season, so to get a lil festive (and trust me, this is a lot for me… Just call me Miss Scrooge), I opted to do some Santa on my toes!
Red base, some white lines, black belt and silver belt buckle. If you can paint straight lines, you can go this!
As for my mani, I had 4 varying shades of shimmering golds/browns/bronzes. A quick nude base coat, a makeup sponge and quick application… Ta-da!
Well, now that Dancing with the Stars is over (don’t EVEN get me started on Derek), I have more free time to spend on this here bloggy thing. Just until the next season of The Bachelor begins….oh Juan 🙂
I digress.
This week for my handy-dandy mani (see what I did there!) is rather simple since I was returning from the holiday weekend. Just a base coat of Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in ‘Commander In Chic’ which is a twist of grey/mauve. Now of course I didn’t stop there…oh no. TIS THE SEASON FOR MAGICAL MANIS (sense my excitement).
Glitter tips…oh yes.
Not the french-mani glitter tips, and not the 4th grade glitter nail polish. Oh no. I’m *cough* 30 something and use adult glitter polishes. Like this one from Ulta (Chic Peek…and the name BE any awesomer?!)
Taaaaaa-daaaaa! Enjoy and happy polishing
It’s my weekly ritual… Watching Dancing with the Stars and giving myself a mani. (Don’t judge…. Ok, ok… judge away)
This week I opted for an appropriate dark maroon color, but for a lil WOWSA factor, painted one nail gold with a thin cross. Subtle. Sexy. Cool.
Enjoy and go eat some turkey and taters and pie!
I’m baaaaack! Ok, I’ve just been super busy the last month or so. But not too busy to do a lil mani-pedi action!
This week… I choose a glossy purple polish for my nails. Appropriate for Halloween.
Pedi – this gets fun! Opted to do an argyle print. In gold, black, and white. I must admit, I did this free-hand so if you want to complain about the not-so-straight lines. Save it 😉
Cheers and happy polishing!
Mani-Monday this week… Is boring. Sorry all, just a typical nail polish job. This is Ulta brand in a pinkish/violet shade.
Enjoy!
It’s Monday!
You know what that means…Dancing with the Stars (season 17) premiered. I’m totally rooting for Elizabeth Berkley, aka Jessie Spano from Saved by the Bell.
“I’m so excited, I’m so excited, I’m so, so, scared”.
Ok Ok…on with the regular scheduled blog post.
My mani this week…abstract art. Nude base, accented with gold and teal. I was all technical and actually used tape to put the gold part on. But let’s be honest, ain’t no body got time for that, so the teal sections were free hand. I dare you to get out a level and tell me how uneven the lines are. Just kidding!
Here’s the finished product…not too shabby.
BONUS! Pedi time. Well, it IS football season (ahem…Da Bears!), so this month’s pedi design is a free-hand polka dot, in Chicago Bears colors. In case you don’t know what those are: Blue, Orange, White. No, not Broncos…although I DID enjoy when Tim Tebow played for them. That’s a new blog post topic!
Anyways, here is the critical ‘close up of toes’ shot –
Cheers!
