This is a great simple & elegant manicure. It's so easy and cute! I did it back in the winter with silver and black for a more edgy look and it was fabulous. It looks great with almost any colors, so experiment and have fun with it!

How To Get The Perfect Manicure

Hey everyone! I think its about time that I let you all in on my secret tips and tricks for achieveing the perfect manicure. Of course, all of these steps are optional and some require tools that you may not have, so just do what you are able to! In this tutorial I used Orly's "Gumdrop."

Manicure Monday - Argyle Nails

Today's manicure tutorial is for argyle nails. The reason my picture for this week is only one nail is because I ended up liking my nails better without the black. Even though they were no longer truly argyle, I liked them better with just the triangles of color! I think part of the problem was the colors I used - I think the argyle would look better if I had used dark colors for the triangles and white instead of black for the finishing lines. Oh well, at least I ended up with a cool manicure, even if it wasn't what I originally planned!

Manicure Monday - Stars and Stripes Nails

Hey everybody! Happy almost fourth of July! I had so many cool ideas for fourth of July nails, but I ended up just going with a simple manicure that makes your fingers look just like a flag. It uses the taping technique that I've used on many of the other manicures here, so its pretty simple.
