Spring Nail Trends

Spring is my favorite time of year because the colors are so vibrant and fun! Painting your nails is an easy way to start getting in the mood for spring. Before I headed up to New England to visit my family for the weekend, I went to Walgreens to grab a few new spring polishes. There were so many awesome colors to choose from at Walgreens that I had a hard time picking only a few. I decided to go with Revlon Nail Enamel in Bubbly and Essie Nail polish in Sittin’ Pretty, Vices Versa, and I’m Addicted.

MANIcure MonDAY: Prestige Wonder Gloss Majesty

February 22, 2016October 28, 2013

MANIcure MonDAY: Prestige Wonder Gloss Majesty

Product was provided for review purposes. All opinions are 100% my own.

Happy Manicure Monday! This week I tried out the Prestige Wonder Gloss in Majesty. The polish is Super Glossy with Multi Vitamins. The Majesty Color provides maximum coverage and durability. The nail polish is resistant to shock and it strengthens nails. The color is a rich blue that is between navy and midnight. The polish is perfectly on trend as it reminded me of Salvatore Ferragamo Fall 2013 collection. Leave the LBD behind this year along with black nail polish and try a little blue dress and navy polish. It is classic and refined. Navy looks great on most skin tones.

MANIcure MonDAY: Boom Boom Room by Essie

February 22, 2016October 14, 2013

This week for Manicure Monday, I am wearing Boom Boom Room from Essie. I discovered this color at the nail salon a few day before giving birth to Cami. I got both my toes and nails done with the color. It was so nice to have my nails done so girly for when my little girl came out! Also, the name of the color is so silly and awesome! LOVE IT!!

MANIcure MonDAY: Burberry Runway Inspired Nails

February 22, 2016September 30, 2013

Burberry’s Fall 2013 runway was one of my favorite runways this year. The heart print tops, dress, bags, and shoes make me want to wear heart print all the time. I have not found any heart print outfits that work on me yet, but I am definitely on the hunt. I put a collage together for you below that shows some of the heart print items that are available in stores. As I try them on, I will let you know how they look and also show you pictures. If you find any cool heart print items, please let me know. In the meantime, try these Burberry Runway Inspired Nails.

Manicure Monday: Tweed Nails

February 22, 2016September 9, 2013

I found Sally Hansen Fuzzy Coat Nail Polish at the drug store the other day. Sally Hansen says Fuzzy Nails and I say Tweed Nails! There are many colors of including a few different blue and greens. I chose the black and white Fuzzy Coat called Tweed because it reminded me of Chanel’s Tweed Suit. I put on 2 coats and topped off the edge. I had to paint my hand a little to get into the corner, but that might be because I can’t see very well. It worked out fine as about an hour later, I washed my hands and picked that part off my skin.

Manicure Monday: Mermaid’s Dream

February 22, 2016September 2, 2013

I am obviously on a mermaid kick! Check out last weeks, MANIcure MonDAY post! I might be just excited to watch the little mermaid will my daughter, Cami. I would love if I could find an awesome mermaid costume for her first Halloween. It will be here before you know it! Until then, I am going to continue wearing my Mermaid’s Dream Nail Polish by Deborah Lippmann. Today, I layered it over a cream colored chalky nail polish called Mod in Manhattan by Color Club. I received it in my Birch Box a few months ago.

MANIcure MonDAY: Mermaid Manicure

February 22, 2016August 26, 2013

I decided to institute Manicure Mondays in a effort to keep my nails looking presentable now that I am a mommy. This way my followers will keep me accountable! I started using this cuticle dissolving lotion by Blue Cross. It makes it really easy to do my own nails because I don’t have to cut my cuticles. In the past, I have always gone a little overboard on cutting down my cuticles in that I end up cutting myself. This way I can leave the cuticle cutter alone and focus on just polishing my nails. Today, I painted my nails with Mojito Madness by Essie and Whimsical by Revlon. The color that comes from layering the milky blue from Whimsical over Mojito Madness looks very similar to Mermaid Tears by OPI that I wore here and here.

How to Wear Vests

February 22, 2016July 29, 2013

Learning how to wear vests is a great way to add some spice to your wardrobe. Vests were originally only worn by men, but why let them have all the fun with their waist coats!

1. Wear Vests to Spice up Jeans. Start with the all American uniform of jeans and a white t-shirt or white tank top. The jeans can be any cut that flatters you. In my outfit, I chose to wear polka dot skinny jeans and a white tank. I accented with some color by adding teal pumps, watch, and sunglasses. You can accent with your favorite color accessories or just go neutral. In summer, I would add color, but in winter I would go with neutrals like black, brown or gray.

Camo Chic

February 22, 2016June 19, 2013

Camo is a print that normally reserved for the military and white trash. Did you see Honey Boo Boo’s mom’s wedding? It was a gown of camo and frightening! I believe that it is possible to make camo chic with a few pints to keep in mind.

Runway Inspired Spring Nail Trend with Sally Hansen

February 22, 2016March 7, 2013

Runway fashion always inspires my nail looks. I have been noticing that mint was shown on the Spring 2013 runways like Valentino, Claire Pettibone, and Donna Karen. Using Pinterest, I have collected minty spring trend inspiration on to my Spring Trends Pinterest Board. GiGi New York came out with an entire collection of embossed python leather bags and accessories that are on my wish list. I purchased a pair of mint skinny jeans that I was wearing non-stop until my belly got too big for non-maternity jeans. Since I cannot wear the skinny jeans for the time being, I have to fill my wardrobe with mint in other ways. First, I bought my Kate Spade polka dot iPhone cover and now I purchased Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Mint Sorbet Nail Polish.
