Week O’Nautical – Julep Sail Away Bombshell Maven Box

Ok so I was supposed to post this yesterday but the long weekend was way to enjoyable to be on the computer/tablet/etc. I definitely disconnected over Memorial Day weekend and I’m totally ok with it. So here’s my mani Monday post “going up, on a Tuesday!” For May, Julep released a “Set Sail” collection based…

Nailed It: Julep Alicia

What a better mani Monday then our own namesake!  Julep Alicia! I have this thing with names, I like to get people polish in their name even if its not a color they’d wear.  It’s like a collectors piece.  Alicia, while you know the name, it’s not really as common as you’d think, so when…

Green and Gold for St. Patrick’s Day

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:…

Cinderella Inspired Glass Slipper Mani

Since I’ve been on this Cinderella kick (here and here) when I was deciding on what to paint my nails I was inspired to do “glass slipper” nails! Don’t tell me you never made your fingers walk, because I know you did.  Now make those fingers walk in glass slippers by painting your pointer and…

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…

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…
