mint candy apple - essie, tart with a heart - butter london
Finally able to give myself a manicure. Quite appropriate for the weather in NYC currently, with the 90 degree weather for the rest of the week into the weekend! Totally screams SUMMER!
The easiest way to spruce up your mani is to do an accent nail, either with a glittery topcoat, or a different color that compliments your main nail color. There are many possibilities for nail designs... it's endless!
I never really gave Essie that much thought when it comes to buying nail polish. I always went for the "okay" cheap ones from the drugstore, like Revlon, Loreal, Sally Hansen, and others. But when my friend told me about a nail supply store around her house that sold Essie for half the price... I decided to check it out and get a few colors to try out to see what all the hype was about.
The three colors I picked up were Merino Cool, Sand Tropez, and Mint Candy Apple (the most talked about color ever).
It's that time of the month again... the arrival of the December GlossyBox!
This month's box consists of essentials for those holiday parties with family and friends; a flirty perfume, body oil for glossy skin, nail polish for some glitzy glam, dangly earrings for an updo, and haircare for perfecting your hairstyle.
When I saw this on thebeautydepartment.com, I knew I'd have to attempt this nail design. It's so fun and quirky, and the design is not too "loud" for an every day nail look.
Sometimes I like to spruce up my manicure with simple designs. Dots are the easiest designs to do, as seen above. You can use toothpicks, or in this case a mechanical pencil to create dots with. You don't have to spend extra money on buying dotting tools or brushes for designs, you can utilize things that are found in your home! Things like toothpicks, bobby pins, paper clips... anything that's pointy!
I'll definitely give this a try when I have time to give my nails its much needed manicure.
