Luck O’ the Irish to ya this St. Patrick’s Day! Since St. Patrick’s Day is going up on a Tuesday it’s much more low key, but that doesn’t mean any less themed out! Wear your green so you don’t get pinched, eat some Irish food and/or hit up a pub! Word on what to wear:…

Mani Monday: Copy Cat Lauren Conrad Nails
Lauren Conrad posted this pretty up on her Instagram page and I was immediately smitten, the soft shades, the gorge trimmings and that nail! A small pop of sparkly goodness that I HAD to recreate! It looks like a white base shade with pink undertones and a glittered textured top coat like Essie LuxeEffects (which…
Nailed It: Julep Smitten Kitten Box
Ok so this was totally my Valentine’s Day mani but hearts, glitter, red and white are still perfectly acceptable all month long! So better late then never, here’s round 2 of the Valentine’s Day nails courtesy of Julep’s Smitten Kitten Box (see round 1 here). For February I decided to go with the Smitten Kitten…
Mani Monday – Deep Purple and Gold
There’s just something that feels right when your nails are DONE. Coming after a week of the most tragically neglected nails this dark and glittering look makes me super happy. A deep purple from the mark. Nailed It Nail Duo from fall (last seen here) is the perfect deep base for a DIY gold half…
12 Mani’s of Christmas
So many Christmas nail ideas, so little time! Only a week until Christmas, so even if I do a new nail look everyday I still couldn’t fit in thislist! Lucky for me some of these work great for New Year’s and beyond! In no particular order, let’s count them down… 12 drummers drumming…err… 12. Classic bright…
Nailed It: mark. Nailed It Mini Nail Lacquers in Firestarter & Hot Coal
The perfect gift to give and get is nail polish! It can be a simple stocking stuffer or paired with a larger gift like leather gloves and/or a spa gift certificate. Either way this time of the year there are tons of holiday-tastic options, my pick, the mark. Nailed It Duo ($7) in Firestarter and Hot…
Mani Monday: Friendsgiving
I hosted my Friendsgiving on Saturday and I have to say it was a success! Not only did we have a lot of fun, but we had a lot of tasty options (like apps and fresh cranberry sauce). I also had a lot of style inspiration! (like here, here and on my pinterest board!) When…
Pumpkin Spiced Mani
Because I’m a basic white girl and all things pumpkin and fall-tastic occupy my world lately, a pumpkin spiced mani seemed to be perfectly fitting! I couldn’t decide what fall mani I wanted to do as I searched through my polish collection. This Julep polish in Brielle jumped out at me! Since burnt orange isn’t…
Mani Monday: Berry Mixed Mani
In the summertime I can not get enough summer time berries. I’m talking strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries… all fresh from the local farm’s stands on the side of the roads. I make an effort to drive home the long way just so I can stop by and grab a bunch. So I figured, lets apply…
Mani Monday: 4th Of July Nails
The countdown to the long holiday weekend has officially begun with all things red white and blue! And what do I coin this countdown? Week O’Nautical! (basically a reason to wear red white and blue with a slight nautical influence to get me through the work week for the long weekend!). I spent my Sunday…
