Mani-gram Manicure Monday

(sources: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 )

I'm in the middle of working on quite a few custom orders, and beading isn't exactly kind on my nails, so I skipped a manicure this weekend. But fear not, it's still Monday, and I'm still posting about manicures. 

(I'll Instagram it, too, so it can still be "Mani-gram Monday!")

Have you also noticed that manicure trends are starting to move away from over-the-top colors and patterns to more subtle, nude nails? I'm really loving the nude manicure for spring, so I'm looking forward to trying a couple of these ideas out. Which one is your favorite?

I thought that "Rockstar Pink" would be an appropriate color for three days at music festival. Whaddya think?

Mani-gram Monday - Shades for Spring

I've been beading and cleaning all weekend, and the beading will continue today, so there has been no time for nail-painting. Instead I give you some of my favorite shades for spring. 

Which one is your favorite?

Mani-gram Monday - Bridesmaid Edition

"The Next CEO" by Nicole by OPI (buy) | "Green Ocean" by Sinful Colors (buy)

The colors chosen for my friend's wedding last Saturday were a nod to the groom's Irish heritage. Our gowns were forest green, and green, yellow (gold), and black were the colors throughout the decor. In keeping with the color scheme, I painted my nails gold and topped them with a green glitter.

If I had an unlimited budget for beauty supplies, I'd be tossing two of these polishes into my shopping basket . . . Because I already own one!

Anyone planning to don some four leaf clovers and drink green beer this Sunday? Myself, I'm hoping to track down some corned beef and cabbage or shepherd's pie!
