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, 

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!

Hello Nubians, 

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!

Hello Babes and Babettes,


Trick or treat nails! This is a cute but scary manicure Monday. My sister in law loves to draw awesome little things, she's all about that Do It Yourself life. In honor of Halloween coming up, she gifted me with these pretty nails. Here you'll see she drew ghost, pumpkins, bats, spider webs, a mummy and more. Super kawaii right?

I put them on and was totally in love. I use KISS Maximum Speed Nail glue, it's my favorite. Here's how the looked when I applied them. Hopefully this inspired you to do something fun too.


Do any of you have fun plans this Halloween? 

Hey Nubians,

Time for manicure Monday! I've been trying to do my nails differently every week in an effort to pamper myself a bit. Look good, feel good.  I love trying out new colors and seeing which brands last longer without chipping.

 Lately I've been occasionally using press-ons again. I used to use them when I was about 15 years old maybe and then stopped cold turkey and started going to the salon instead. These days, I don't want to take the time out for a salon visit often. Press-on nails are a quick and easy fix for a beautiful manicure. There are so many options with cute designs on them too. I like getting mine fairly short so they don't look too fake.



Within the next month or so, I'm probably going to start using Fall colors. I love burgundy tones, the color goes well with my complexion. Also lots of orange and hunter green.


Are you getting excited about any cool nail trends?

Hey Nubians,

Because Short Nails Are Cute Too...

A girl has to keep up with her beauty but as of late, I decided to give the long nails a break for a while. By "long" I mean not mine ha ha! More like acrylic or gel extensions. I used to think that I HAD to have long nails... I don't really know why, I guess it made me feel more lady like. Now-a-days I'm content trying to be a bit more creative with my short nails and trying to think of cute manicures that I can do myself.

Don't get my wrong, every-so-often I really miss long nails and I'm sure I'll go back to them eventually... but for now it's short manicures for me.


I gave myself a cute and simple mani this week. I didn't have much time to get too fancy. I used Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear 178 All Bright Pink as the base coat and then I used L.A. Colors Art Deco wands to do the little Zebra-ish lines in white and glitter to make it POP more.


I'm happy with the results. I figure as long as your hands are moisturized and your nails are painted nicely then you're good to go. I gave myself a pedicure with the same design too! I love the pink color from Sally Hansen. It's so bold without being neon.

Do you have any favorite nail polish colors for this summer?
