Manicure Monday: Springtime Fresh

Posted on May 6, 2013 by Raijean S

Last week, I headed to Arkansas to attend the Social Fabric Conference;but before I left you guys know I had to change-up the manicure.

This polish is apart of the Modern Family Collection, I absolutely love this polish because it was such a pretty color for the spring, it’s a cross between a pastel blue and lilac with a lot of shimmer and has so much personality.

Manicure Monday: Pretty in Pink and Purple

Posted on April 29, 2013 by Raijean S

For this weeks manicure, I decided to go for a softer look. This look comes from the Selena Gomez collaboration with Nicole by OPI and I absolutely love it! The pink color is called Naturally, it’s a sheer pink color that gets deeper the more coats you add. I achieved this look after 3 coats but if you want it to be more sheer, I would go with 1 or 2 coats. The purple coat is called Love Song and only required 2 coats. This manicure screams spring to me… I’m really feeling these colors, there are a total of … Read More

Manicure Monday: Rawrrrr

Posted on April 15, 2013 by Raijean S

For whatever reason, I was in the mood for a cheetah print. I decided to try Sally Hansen Salon Effects #320 in Kitty, Kitty. I love nail polish strips and these came out super cute! I will say for whatever reason these were a little bit more flimsy than ones I’ve used in the past but the end results were still the same. I added an accent nail to make the strips pop and red is my favorite so you that’s what I went with!I’m really feeling this manicure, hopefully I will go somewhere fun this week so my manicure will … Read More
