Fun Twist on a French Manicure

Left to Right: 1 Coat of Base, 2 Coats of Base, 2 Coats of Base and 2 Coats of Gold

One of my all time favorite nail looks has always been a french manicure, but you don't have to stick with simple pink and white. For this updated take I used a two coats of a peach colored polish from Sinful Colors for the base. Then I took a bottle of gold glitter nail art polish that I picked up from Five Below, which I believe is by Art Club (the kind that has the small, skinny brush for detail work) and put two coats of that right along the tip.

I also tried this out using a shimmery rose gold colored polish with the gold tip and an aqua color with a silver tip and really liked those as well. The color combinations are limitless! Let me know if you try this, I would love to see your pics!

Crave-worthy Nail Colors for Spring

I can't believe it's already spring! It definitely snuck up on me (probably something to do with this wacky Maryland weather of snow one day and sunshine the next). With all of the bright colors and floral prints that have been gracing store windows, I wanted to round up my favorite picks for spring nail polishes to match. What are your favorite colors to decorate your nails with this season?
