MANICure Monday | A Hot Mess!

February 18, 2013 by Alisha 23 Comments

So er uh, what had happened was…. Let’s put it this way, I’m sticking to just coming up with stuff on my own and not trying to recreate mess I find on Pinterest. That place is evil and the tutorials make it seem so easy that even a monkey could do it! Well I’m not falling for it anymore…. hmph!

So I came across this super cute tape mani while looking for inspiration. I saw this picture on the blog The World is the Stage and thought “Oh I could do this… this looks easy.” (insert side eye to myself for thinking the impossible) [Read more…]

Due to the increased craziness of our weather lately, I decided to go with Winter Blues. I can’t tell y’all how confused my body is. One day it in the low 70s the next day the low is going to be 18 with snow. What the what?!?! Anywho back to what this post is all about… MANICure Mondays!!!

I used NYC’s Skin Tight Denim and Star Silver to complete this week’s manicure. I love the pop that the glitter gives to this dark navy.

This week’s mani was inspired by a pic I came across on Pinterest from Ooooh, Shines! Blog. I decided to give it the old college try and recreate something similar. I started off by painting 2 coats of Essie’s Ms Smarty Pants. For my skin tone this is a great neutral.

Polka Dots Nail Art

Hey hey hey! Well I was ~~lazy as all get out~~ busy last week and didn’t get a chance to post my mani. I must have experimented with at least 5 different polishes and designs. Needless to say they were all EPIC FAILS. Ugh, there is nothing worse than having a vision in your mind and it come out looking nothing like what you expected. Well I know I can never go wrong with polka dots so that is what you all get today! LOL
