yesterday i talked about my new color obsession – emerald. it is still here today and i’m obsessing over this color as i plan holiday outfits (yes, these situations need much prior planning). here are my favorite picks for holiday dresses and nail polish to get this color trend right now:
color crush: emerald (part 2)
nailed it: perfect holiday party nails
it always seems to me this time of year comes with a lot of red and sparkles – glitter, sequins, rhinestones. so what could be better than a mani with both of those seasonally appropriate trends? um – nothing!
try this combo for the perfect holiday manicure that can take you from office to office party and beyond:
here’s what you’ll need: butter londoncome to bed red, west end wonderland and your favorite top coat. (i like deborah lippmann‘s.)
gold at your fingertips
okay, i know – it’s more like gold on your fingertips.
i’ve been trying to figure out a way to get gold on my nails without being inappropriate in the work place, feeling like i’ve gone overboard, or feeling as though i look like a 5 year old who stuck her fingers right into a big jar of glitter. in other words – i was looking for a dose glam with subtlety.
yesterday i stumbled across this post from Nomadic-D. her neutral take on gold nails is seriously perfection. i immediately purchased only gold for me by opi (which Nomadic-D used in her manicure) and this cappuccino colored neutral polish.
what do you think?
valentine’s day beauty
i totally love makeup – i’m a little bit of a makeup whore. i don’t go crazy and use wild colors, but i like to change my beauty look with my moods, the same way i like to change my clothes. sometimes i like a little cat eye, sometimes i like that smoldering smokey eye. sometimes i like au naturale.
for valentine’s day i like to do something a little more. you definitely want to go for a look that makes you feel a little sexier than your everyday and gives you the ability to give him “that look.” check out my picks for a valentine’s day-perfect look as well as a tutorial from my most favorite beauty blogger, kandee johnson.
