MANI MONDAY
photos and post by Kristin Ess If you combine our love of chevron patterns with our love of color, you get Missoni. Since the famous italian fashion house doesn’t make nail decals, we figured we’d give “Missoni Nails” a shot! While doing these nails, I discovered my new favorite nail decorating tool: THE GREASE PENCIL!photos by http://www.angelaandithyle.com post designed by kristin ess There’s something really nice about taking a break from nail polish for a second, right? There are so many fun nail trends today that it makes you want to change things up… a lot! In this tutorial, we show you how to give yourself a perfectly polished, natural manicure that looks lovely and allows your nails to breathe. Always clean your tools properly before you begin.
NAILED IT!
Photos + post design by Kristin Ess While you’re all probably busy decking the halls right now, perhaps you’ll be able to take a break to get fancy, festive + fun with this manicure tutorial from Lady Conrad! She wanted to string some lights across her nails and so she did… Literally! Here’s how she created these lil’ cuties: TOOLS: base & top coat, green polish & red polish (you can use any colors you want), white or off-white polish, cuticle nippers or small scissors, black cotton string, a small brush or pointed q-tip. On clean nails, do a solid coat (or two thin coats) of white or off white polish.
NAILED IT!

MANI MONDAY
photos + post by Kristin Ess So many dots, so little time. Between the nail pictures you send us + the nail tutorials seen on Pinterest, we have noticed that polka dots are a major favorite right now. Getting those perfect little circles isn’t easy unless you have the right tool– the dotting tool .
photos and posts by Kristin Ess Let’s discuss the “accent nail”. It’s fun (and a lot easier) to do nail art on just one nail, but it can be hard to come up with a pattern idea. Here’s a suggestion: t ake a peek in your closet! Look at your favorite shirts, skirts and dresses for inspiration.

PRETTY POLISH IDEA
photos + post by Kristin Ess First of all, sorry for the lack of posts this week. By now you know that Lady Conrad has a brand new book called THE FAME GAME . We joined her on her book tour and that busy schedule left little time for much else.
