Double Glam Nails
I do my nails pretty often, and every time I go to take off a color, I think never again. No more glitter. Yet, the next time I go to the store and buy a color, there’s inevitably some little glitter pot calling my name. There’s no stopping there, either. Before I start painting my nails,…

Red & Gold Heart Nails
Nails, nails, nails! Would you believe I actually haven’t done mine in like — a whole week?? I know, what! These fabulous heart nails were probably my favorite of the 14 for the 14th series, just because they are super easy. And also I love bright red nails. This probably has something to do with my mother never…

Black & Pink Pre-prepped Nails: DIY Adhesive Nail Design
It’s no secret that I love to paint my nails. I had to stop posting them on instagram, because my friends just don’t care that much. So no wonder I think Valentine’s day is a great excuse to do them some more! This was even easier, because I made some simple DIY adhesive nail designs while I…

FSU Game Day Nails // Garnet & Gold for Valentine’s Day
Happy February first! My Pinterest feeds are full of pinks and reds and the announcement that Valentine’s day is near. So for the next two weeks I’ll be doing “14 for the 14th” – 14 ways to look fabulous for your Valentine – which I always do! :) I’m starting with a nail design that celebrates…

Mermaid Glitter Nails
I have this weird obsession with mermaids right now. No, that’s not true. More of ‘this reminds me of mermaids’ and ‘that reminds me of mermaids’. True story, in London I went to the M&M store and bought a bag of custom colors, then proceeded to ask my friends “what do these remind you of?”…

Sideways Dotted Nails
I was feeling tired and lazy this afternoon, so I did some sideways dotted nails. Completely unproductive, but absolutely satisfying. With a peach background and coral + gold dots I’m feeling top-notch trendy, on top of it all. In other news, only momentary panic attacks about going off to London in a week. It’s just…

Manicure Mondays: Lisa Frank Reminiscent Nails
It’s when I look at the photo of this nail polish that I can’t get the name “Lisa Frank” out of head. And honestly, I just don’t mind. I mean, who doesn’t want to be looking at so many neon colors they start to go a little cross-eyed? I picked up these two samplers, along…

Manicure Mondays: Teal, Pink, Glittered Nails
I had an amazing weekend! Last night Kristofer and I ordered Stevi B’s hot wing pizza and watched rom-coms (specifically Silver Lining’s Playbook and How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days). Saturday night I went out with friends, and all day before I was in Jacksonville spending time with Kristofer’s sister and shopping. That’s…

Modern Art Deco Nails
Finally, a project: Modern Art Deco Nails! Between classes, traveling, and just plain cleaning up my house, I’ve found that I either don’t have time for fun (seriously, the girls and I discuss in the office how much we’d rather be blogging) or can’t be bothered to take photos of what I do find time…

Kristofer’s Nail Fail ;)
Because Kristofer is leaving me for the next 10 days (yes, I’m counting!), I wanted to take today to rave about how awesome he is. He plays Draw Something with me into the wee hours of the night, until I’m tired enough to fall asleep first. I’m never thirsty when he’s around (not because of…

Turqouise & Glitter Nails
I have to admit, I really love my turquoise & glitter design! Fatal flaw? It is nearly impossible to get off your nails! I applied three thin coats of my Essie Turquoise & Caicos, then fairly generous amounts of my Luxe Effects Set in Stone (though again in thin coats). It seemed thicker at the…

Mixed Metals Nails, the attempt of an amateur
On my first nail shopping trip (remember that time I spent 120 perfectly good dollars on a new load of nail supplies?), I bought both a gold and bronze color, to attempt recently pinned Mixed Metals from TheBeautyDepartment. TBD uses two shades of gold, but I wanted a little more clash in my colors, so…
