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.
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!
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!
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!
Today’s Mani-Monday! Coral nails with golden tips. Simple: I used a makeup sponge (you know, the pack of like a bazillion triangle shaped sponges), painted gold nail polish on the end and dabbed on.
BONUS! Once a month, I give myself a pedicure. This is my expression of artistic creativity. This month is zebra French Tips. That’s right, a white base coat (mine has a soft shimmer) with fuschia tips and black lines to represent zebra stripes.
