Fall Nail Art Tutorial for Short Nails with CND VinyLuxI love everything about fall — and that includes painting my nails with fall-inspired colors! Today I wanted to share a fun and easy nail art tutorial using my favorite CND™ VINYLUX™ Long Wear Polish. And not only is this nail art tutorial super easy and requires no tools, but it’s also perfect for short nails! These days I am pretty rough on my hands and have weak nails to begin with, so they never get very long anymore. But I still like to have some sort of design on my nails when I am able to do a manicure!

Painted Fingertips | Neon splatter nail art

Hi everyone! I am so happy and honoured to be able to share a post with you today here on Katie’s blog! I blog over at Painted Fingertips, where I post lots of nail art and some nail polish swatches. A little while ago I had an idea that it might be fun to do a sort of crossover guest post – I post 99% nails and nail art but I really enjoy makeup and other beauty posts. I don’t have the makeup skills to share my own face on here too often, so I thought I’d invite a guest, and Katie was the perfect option. She’s one of my favourite beauty bloggers – I always enjoy her colourful makeup looks and ooh and aah over swatches. I was so glad when she agreed to a post exchange!

Easy Dotticure Nail Art | Tutorial | Sally Hensen Miracle Gel FormulaIt has been a while since I’ve shared a nail tutorial with you all, but when I received these Sally Hansen Miracle Gel polishes a few months ago, I was inspired to create something! And then I got pregnant…and never edited the photos! But I’ve finally pulled them out of the archives and edited together a really easy dotticure nail tutorial that anyone can do. Seriously, I am no nail tech or artist — as you’ll see in a minute — so I love doing easy manicures that dress up my nails without getting too technical. 🙂

How To: Fix a Broken Nail // FromMyVanity.com

We’ve all been there — all your nails are long, beautiful, and strong and you’ve painted them a fun color….and you break a nail shutting the mailbox! 🙁 In the past, I’ve always had to just clip the nail off and trim the rest of my nails to make them all match (I can’t stand if they’re uneven). But! There’s another way! Not only can you save the length of the rest of your nails, but you can save your manicure, too!

Jamberry Nail Wraps – A Tutorial and Review

5 Comments

Several months ago I was contact by Crissie, a Jamberry Consultant, who asked me if I would like to try out some of the Jamberry Nail Wraps and share my thoughts with you all. I’ve heard a lot about these nail wraps on the internet and feel like I knew about Jamberry before nail wraps started showing up in the drugstore or Ulta. But knowing all that, I had never tried any type of nail wrap before. So of course I said yes!

jamberry-nail-wraps-tutorial-review-pinterest-pinThe idea that you don’t have to wait for your nails to dry was really appealing to me. And the fact that you can have fancy nail art without the stress and headache of trying to get your hand to stop shaking long enough to try drawing a flower freestyle. 😛
