Newspaper Nail Art — Beauty - Beauty and Lace Online Magazine. DIY Nail Art. When we saw these nails spotted at Lollapalooza a couple of weeks ago, we literally stopped in our tracks. This technique of using a variety of colors and linear tribal patterns instantly won over our prior skepticism of nail art. Inspired, we went on a mission to find the best nail art pens to doodle on our own nails. You’ll need: Start by painting two coats of polish on your nails. Let the polish dry completely. Shake the nail pen several times, press the tip against a piece of paper to dispense the color, and apply designs to your nails. And . . . you’ve nailed it!!

Manic[ure] monday: "something borrowed" & A Pretty Penny - StumbleUpon. Last night I suffered through watched Something Borrowed on DVD.
I heard all the terrible reviews, but being the big Kate Hudson fan I am, I thought I needed to see it for myself. Unfortunately, I can’t get those two hours back, but I did spot a cute mani on Kate in one scene. It was a modern french manicure with a beige base, black tips, and a little bit of gold. Cue the lineup! Start with clean nails and a thin coat of base. Next, apply two coats of beige polish to the entire nail. I used a fast-drying formula to try to save a little time. After the beige polish is bone dry, apply french manicure strips to each nail. More drying time! Adding the gold line is the trickiest part. I sealed everything up with two good coats of the all-in-one base (which actually helped mask some of the imperfections).
