August Manicure Favorites.

Well it’s official–Summer has sped by us, and it’s now September! What is up with that? Even though I’ve bee completely craving Fall, I am not looking forward to Winter in any way. The cold and I–we don’t get along very well. But! Since August is officially done with, I thought I would share my August Manicure Favorites.

Clockwise, from left:

Yes, I’m featuring two very similar polka dot manicure, but I loved both of them so much. Also, check out the difference in length from the beginning of the month to the end! (Woo!) It’s kind of neat to go through my manicures at the end of the month and figure out which ones I loved the most.

A Blast from the past with Saran Wrap Nails.

Do you ever try a new nail art technique, really like it, and then just never try it again–instead falling back on them same old designs? No? Just me then….

Last Summer I tried out the saran wrap technique for nails, and really liked how it looked. Then completely forgot about that cool technique. The other day I was trying to think of something different I could do on my nails when it hit me! Saran Wrap Nails! I’d already painted my nails using Essie’s We’re in this Together. So I grab a dark pink (Bourjois Paris 2013 Bon Anniversaire), painted over the lighter pink, then dabbed with pieces of a plastic bag I had around. And tada! Pretty saran wrap nails. I applied top coat, then finished them off with some glitters from OPI’s I Snow You Love Me (which I’m actually obsessed with) and then applied Seche Vite to seal everything in. Quick and pretty nail art!

Seriously, why have I not done saran wrap nails in over a year?! What a travesty!  It’s such a neat look!

Also, I’ll apologize for the poor lighting in my pictures–I took them out the back door of work, on a particularly cloudy day so the lighting ended up really funky.
