There's Nothing More Fun Than A Pop Of Color! 

I love giving myself little D.I.Y. Manicures. Taking care of your nails is key girls! No one wants to look at busted hands. We don't all have enough time to go get mani's done constantly, and honestly, sometimes I rather be in the comfort of my home.

Hey Nubians, 

Do you love DIY nails? I know I do! I also enjoy fun, fashionable trends. 

Take a look at this super cute manicure trend you can successfully do in your own home, the Manicure Ombre Trend! Sally Hansen Global Color Ambassador Madeline Poole takes the latest fashion trends from the runway, to your nails. This month, her recommendation is Ombre. Perfect for the Spring/Summer Season because it's so much fun to play with bright and bold colors. Lately I haven't been doing my nails because I've been painting and creating cool art but I think I'll have to try out the Ombre trend ASAP!

Nails Inspired By Hair And Fashion

Madeline developed this vibrant nail look for Monse's spring/summer 2017 NYFW show. Her inspiration for the look were the bold colors from this season's catwalks, and the ombre-dyed hairstyles of the stylish women on New York City's sidewalks.

Want to get the look yourself? Here's How - Madeline's Ombre mani is simple to achieve at home with no special tools required, just a regular makeup sponge. Featuring Auran't You Relaxed, Teal Good and Robes and Rosé, this take on Ombre is the perfect pop of color for any summer outfit.

Step 1: Apply Sally Hansen Color Therapy Nail & Cuticle Oil and massage onto cuticle area. Remove thoroughly from nail plate with alcohol or nail polish remover before painting.

Step 2:  Apply 2 coats of Sally Hansen Color Therapy in Auran't You Relaxed.

Step 3:  Use a makeup sponge cut in half to lightly apply Sally Hansen Color Therapy in Robes and Rosé. Concentrate the color towards the middle of the nail and blend upward towards the free edge.

Step 4: To create a smoother blend, pour out a small puddle of Sally Hansen Color Therapy in Auran't You Relaxed and apply a mixture of bright pink and darker pink to the center of the nail where the two colors meet. This will allow for a smoother blend.

Step 5:  Repeat this step with the teal color - Sally Hansen Color Therapy in Teal Good. Continue blending colors until you're satisfied with the transition.

Step 6: After allowing the nails to dry 5 minutes apply Sally Hansen Color Therapy Top Coat to further blend and seal colors together.

Have fun! Cheers! Xo Nubia Xo

Hey Nubians, 

Spring Has Sprung! 

I'm so happy it's Spring! Spring is such a transformation season and all over healthy for the soul. People are itching to switch up their fashion, hair and makeup. It's a great time to create an inspirational vision board and see what attracts you. As most of you know, I love colors. Spring is a great time to break out some cute pastel colors. 

I noticed when it comes to beauty, Sally Hansen and Rimmel London have some gorgeous pastel colors you might want to pick up right now especially considering easter is around the corner.

Rimmel London: From total babe Kate Moss Nude’s Collection, these beautiful neutral pastels will add just the right amount of spring to your lips! These are the shades #40 and #41. 40 probably wouldn't work great with my complexion but it's still a great color. 


These are some cool drug store purchases that cost 10 dollars or less each. Looking fab on a budget is a good way to start the new season. Plus that means extra money for traveling :) 

Who's super happy it's Spring?!?!

Hey Nubians, 

By Halloween Nails, I Meant A Sweet Cameo By Michael Myers Himself! 



I wanted to give myself a 'Fall is approaching' manicure but didn't want to go straight for orange or hunter green which are usually my go-to colors. I decided to do a cool grey nail. I had the Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Fast Dry Nail Color 'Show Steeler' nail polish which I had never used and it was just what I was looking for. Perfection. I love the color! It's a little something different. It dries very quickly which is a big perk for my clumsy butt and it has a pretty shine to it without needing a clear top coat. My nails feel so pretty. I'm very picky with nail polish but I highly recommend the Sally Hansen Insta-Dri line. I've had good experiences with it. I despise when the color on my nails chips quickly and that doesn't happen with Insta-Dri. 

Hey Nubians,


Its the Care Bear Countdown... 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!

Hey Nubians,

"Nails Are The Period At The End Of A Sentence. They Complete The Look"

It's been a while since I've done a Manicure Monday, it's probably because I've turned to the world of gel nails. As much as I love switching up my nail polish every week, the sad truth is I just don't have time! Not to do them nicely anyway.

Waiting for Spring claws 💅🏼 #pastels #mani

Hello Nubians, 

The Press-Ons Obsession Continues...

Time to show you my Golden Girl Manicure! 


See the pretty drops. So cute!

Hello Nubians,

Dream A Little Dream.

I wanted to do an Instagram Sunday recap post, I haven't done one of these in a while. When I don't post on my blog, I'm usually posting random things on instagram from fashion, style, beauty, makeup,decor, things that inspire me and so forth. So I'm either drinking a coffee from my Ninja Turtles mug or dreaming of outer space, it's all good.

Half up half down hairstyle. Still playing around with all the colors in my hair. I love them! 


I wish I was this pretty lady just hanging out on another planet sometimes. 



Whenever I'm having a lazy hair day, I love using my gla.MAR.ous wraps. They're cute and turn almost anything into an acceptable hair style.


This horror movie Christmas sweater is to die for!!! (get it) You'll probably see it again on my wish list if it's not sold out by then. Something you can wear year round. 


*Dream a little Dream* 


My Ipsy package from November, I think my favorite item here was the lipstick. 


Hot chocolate with my friend Jasmin.  


A photo from October I never posted. My Marvel's Ghost Rider Cosplay with my babies Bambi and Nala. 

What have you been up to this weekend? Happy Holidays!

Who's excited about Christmas and the holidays in general?


I am! Thats for sure. I personally celebrate Christmas and its tons of fun. The holidays affect the way I dress, do my hair & makeup, my mood, pretty much everything. People like to say that there's magic in the air during the holidays and I'd like to think thats true because I think I can feel it ;-). 

This post in particular is about holiday nails! It is Mani Monday after all and I love a good manicure. I went looking online for inspiration and founds tons of beautiful nails for some holiday cheer. Some of this nail art is very easy to do yourself and some you can probably just buy online such as press-ons. After Thanksgiving I plan to do my first nail real christmas inspired manicure. 

I hope you get inspired below! Let me know if you do. 



Snowmen nails are a must! Snow is like little pieces of angel dust gracing you with it's presence (until the next day when it looks like crap). You can get creative with this. I love the silver and white combo in the photo below. 

Press-On nails are always a quick and reliable option. You can find so many great designs on Etsy. I found this photo via google images and I thought it had a nice array of everything from Santa to snowflakes and candy canes etc. 

Tree light nails are soooo cute and extremely easy. I'm going to totally try this out. 

Go green nails! Try trees or just red and green glitter. Traditional colors are always nice. 



Lastly don't forget about Santa nails! Ho! Ho! Ho! 



Happy Holidays my loves!
