Mani Monday:: Springtime Florals

Happy Monday everyone! Beautiful, beautiful day! How could you not be happy and smiling at everyone?! 

Well today's Mani Monday is a fun, flirty, girly, and festive one, filled with little roses and pinks! Learn how to make this floral design yourself by following the steps below!

First start off by painting your base colors.  

Then with the lightest shade, like a light pink, make random polka dots. They do NOT need to be perfect!

Then take a toothpick or thin brush and with your darker shade, make random lines around the dots, like shown before.

Lastly, get a green polis and add random lines/dots around your roses to create the leaves!

And the final step!

Check back later this weekend for a fun outfit of the day!

Mani Monday:: Minnie Mouse Inspired

Happy Monday!! Hope you guys had a fun-filled and great weekend! This week's Mani Monday is a fun, kid-inspired one! Perfect for the spring weather and just having fun!

 Brings me back to my younger days but at the same time, still has a sense of classy fashion in the sense that there is just something about black and white polka dots and the color red that just always look so timeless and great together! But anyways, this design does remind me of the good 'ol little cutie, Minnie Mouse :) So fun!

Mani Monday:: Hugs and Kisses

XOXO

Happy Monday y'all! With Valentine's Day so close and near, I decided to start of this week with a poem so dear :)

Roses are red, 

Violets are blue, 

Sugar is sweet, 

and so are you! 

Remember, with Valentine's Day coming up, it's not about whether you have a boyfriend or girlfriend or significant other, just that you believe in the crazy little thing called love and you want to spread its cheer! So be happy for your friends who are dating, and spread love onto those who are single! Get together with some friends even and have a night of pamper and giggles!

Today's Mani Monday is a very simple one.  I shaped my nails into almost a "V-shape" nail as seen below in picture 1, because it looks a lot better with this design! Take your polish and create two lines going down to recreate this heart design on your nails!

Have a great week!

Check back tomorrow for a super easy and cheesy DIY gifting tutorial!

Mani Monday! Classy Matte

For today's Mani Monday segment, I wanted to use the matte top coat and try out a different design other than a few Monday's ago post.  This one I like to call Midnight French.  It is just how you would do a french manicure but instead with all black! 

First start off by painting your nails black.

Then put one layer of the Matte Top coat.  It'll dry from wet to the matte look in seconds, like so below.

Now just paint on a think stripe on the top of your nails and voila! You have your Midnight French as well! I really love this creative and unique design!

Try it out for yourself! Be on the lookout for  an OOTD coming out soon this week!
