DIY Nude Nails With A Touch Of Sparkle
Go nude or go home. That’s my motto. Not really. I love nude nails. But they don’t exactly scream ‘it’s my wedding day!’ As discussed in this post, your wedding day is a great opportunity to add a bit of sparkle and luxury to your fingertips. With the nail art movement in full swing (don’t you feel like 2012 is the year of jazzy nails?) Time for a little nail maths (or math as all you American lovelies would say) Essie Wedding Collection ’Like To Be Bad’ + Deborah Lipmann ’Boom Boom Pow’ | top photo via CatBird NYC | bottom photo: For Smart Chicks photo by Yuna Leonard from this gorgeous shoot featured right here on Bridal Musings Essie Wedding Collection ’Like To Be Bad’ + Sephora Jewelry Top Coats in ‘Meet Me At The Disco’ and ‘Flurry Up’ | top photo via Ugly Duckling | bottom photo via The Sense and Sensibility Maths has never been so pretty! Top Tips ~ When using sparkly polish be sure to apply a top coat too (it may not say it’s necessary on the bottle but it’ll give you piece of mind).
NAILED IT!
photos + post by Kristin Ess Sometimes you’ve gotta get a little country! Nothing screams sweet southern style more than gingham, so let’s make that into a mani, shall we?! Start by painting the nails white.Using the DIY sticker method we showed you a couple weeks ago, paint blue, pink, green or whatever color you love on a piece of tape. Wait for it to dry and cut it into thin strips. You can do all your nails or just one.

Brooklyn Blonde: Vintage Miroslava
All images from The Purse Forum. Thanks to them for introducing me to her! I don't often do posts like this, but last week when attending the Ralph Lauren show, I spotted Miroslava Duma (within arms reach) and although I kept it cool on the outside, on the inside, I was completely starstruck and freaking out. Way before I started this blog or read any others, I started seeing images of this beauty popping up in a thread dedicated to her style on The Purse Forum. I didn't know much about her at the time except that she worked for Russian Harpers Bazaar and always had the most incredible looks.
Ruffle Manicure Tutorial | Chalkboard Nails
Hey guys! Today I have a tutorial for you that I wrote a really long time ago for a collaborative nail art guide that I was asked to be a part of. That kind of fell apart I think, so I'm posting it now! The tutorial is for the ruffle nails that you may have seen on here way back when. You will need: a large number of polish colors (this example uses 9)a large-ended dotting tool or other dotting tool substitute (like the large plastic end of a sewing pin stuck into a pencil) 1. 2. 3. 4. That’s it!

STUFF I PUT ON MYSELF: a makeup blog: Fix That Nail
My nail issues are well-documented. I'm basically a recovering cannibal. I've had a pretty good handle on it for the past couple years, but the million years I spent eating myself resulted in some pretty funky ridges in a couple of my nails. Most of them are just minor, and polish will cover them. My ring finger on my left hand, though, was apparently my favorite one to eat, because it has a pretty terrible ridge, and my nail will always break down the ridge. Recently, I cut my nails down and grew them back so I could get rid of some of the staining and a couple spots where I picked polish and shit was a little peel-y. OK, so here is my busted-ass nail. Here is my teabag. Next, I get my nail glue, preferably the kind with the brush. Then you polish your nails (that "Violetta" PopBeauty nail polish is the most lovely thing ever, by the way.)
