Go Nude.

In the last few years, we’ve all praised at the altar of nail art. Neon, tribal patterns, stripes… you name it, I’ve probably done it. But, in an effort to make (small) strides toward sophisticated adulthood, I’ve embraced the refined nude nail. As with all things tasteful, Chanel does it best. The Les Beiges collection is the […]

Mermaid Nails

Not really sure why I’m obsessed with this teal/ purple nail concoction, but I can’t keep my mind off of it. Summer’s here, and these mermaid nails (patent pending) catch the sun’s rays bay-ootifully. Will I look back at this color in 10 years and ask what I was thinking? Probably, but that’s what makes nail […]

Event Nails: Polished to Perfection

A look isn’t complete without a manicure, right? At least I’d like to think so. I made a visit to my favorite salon Olive & June to take a peek at the hottest polish duos for spring (… and get a mani myself, of course). Pastels are dominating every ad/collection/Instagram, but I couldn’t resist a couple […]

Nail Art: Your Best Accessory

Nail art is not going anywhere. I’ve been bitten by the bug, and there’s pretty much no cure. I started to write this post on spring polishes, but I found that every picture I compiled contained some art. Think of it as a new accessory (and a great conversation starter). Also, a very special shout out to […]

Looks I Love: pre-FALL 2013

1. BOLD BROWS + BOLD LIPS: I’m enthralled with Michelle Williams’ fall Louis Vuitton campaign. I love the bold brows and lips with minimal eye makeup. A bold lip dominates the face, so trade in your eyeshadow and eyeliner for a couple of swipes of mascara (and don’t forget to fill in your brows!). 2. NUDE […]

Dip Beauty Nail Lacquer

As a nail polish enthusiast and overall product junkie, I’ve tried what seems like every nail polish brand on the market. Some are too streaky, some chip in a matter of hours and some just really stink. I have enough nail polish to last me a lifetime, but there are about four bottles I reach for on […]
