My Week in Pins… Nailed It!

In browsing Pinterest this week, I’ve been seeing some really cool nail polish colors and designs. So this week in pins, I decided to show off several different nail polish colors and styles that I’m really digging. These stylish nail colors can be worn for work and play!

On a personal note, I’m currently wearing OPI Pink of Hearts 2012 – “You Glitter Be Good to Me” and “I Think in Pink”. Go to “The PolishAholic” to check out her review of the Pink of Hearts duo. I’m also a fan of OPI “I’m Not Really A Waitress” (red) and OPI “Princesses Rule” (pink), but these shades (seen below) really caught my eye!

I’ve tried to include the brands and nail polish colors.

Here are the instructions for how to do the French Manicure seen in the picture above, thanks to www.popcosmo.com:

How to do a French Manicure

Step 1: Apply a base coat and let dry. It’s important that it is completely dry before you proceed.
Step 2: Apply either blue painter’s tape or paper reinforcements to your nail.
Step 3: Paint a neon color on the tip, or whatever color you would like to use. Use 2 light coats for coverage. Thick coats are not advisable because it leaves a ridge (you can see one in our ring finger… oops!)
Step 4: Remove tape or reinforcement AFTER the polish has dried.
Step 5: Apply a clear coat and enjoy!

Here’s a guide for those who get manicures but don’t know how to describe which shape they want their nails.
