Kate Spade Saturday Inspired Nails

If you couldn't tell from this post, I'm pretty obsessed with Saturday, the newest line from Kate Spade. The pieces are bright, affordable and just downright happy - and the prints are so fun! My current favorites are the splatter and sampler prints, and I thought they would make for a cute Spring mani. I wanted to imitate the splatter print, but I used the colors of the sampler print for inspiration. I used a Sally Hansen white base coat, and all of my favorite bright colors from Wet n Wild, Julep and Revlon for the dots, making sure to overlap them for that paint splattered look.

Happy Friday!

Weekend Mani: Neon Striped

As I type this, I'm looking out of my window at the large snow flurries hitting the ground. Yes, snow flurries! Spring, where are you? It seems so long ago, but the taste of warm weather last week motivated me to surround myself with bright, pretty, things. I knew I wanted to use my new favorite neon polish from Orly, called Hot Shot, but I also wanted to try my Nail Rock strips (from last month's Glossybox here). A few coats later, I now have the brightest nails!

 On another note, I've been staring at these gorgeous photos all day long. What's better than staring at flowers during a snowstorm? >.<

Weekend Mani: Spring Dots

I haven't played with my dotting tools in a while, so I thought I'd do a quick mani using a few Spring polishes. I used a sheer shade as a base, and I really like the combination of the mint green and cantaloupe colors. 

What I Used:

Revlon Base Coat (not shown)

Wet n Wild - 2% Milk (as a base)

NCLA - Poolside Party, All Eyes on Me

Wet n Wild - I Need a Refresh-Mint

Revlon Top Coat (not shown)

Weekend Mani: Sequin Sparkle

I fell in love with Olivia Wilde's Marchesa sequined gown the first time I saw it at the 2011 Golden Globe Awards. The moment I saw the new Revlon Sequins* nail color, I knew it would be perfect to use for this inspired mani!

Weekend Mani: Nail Rock + Sequins

For this weekend's mani, I thought I'd try the Nail Rock nail stickers that I bought a while back from ASOS but never used. I loved the pattern, but they were a bit difficult to apply. The stickers were a bit less pliable then say, the Sally Hansen version, which made adjusting really tricky. I got a bit frustrated, so what did the magpie inside me implore me to do? Add sequins! This seems to be the answer to everything lately, so I used the Maybelline Color Show Limited Edition Sequins polish in Sea-Quins. I really loved how the two looked together!

Weekend Mani: GoldenEye

I cannot stop staring at my nails. This beautiful shade, GoldenEye, from the OPI Skyfall collection is the best of the bunch. I initially bought the mini Bondettes set, but had to go back for the full-sized bottle of GoldenEye. All of the shades are pretty, but GoldenEye is the must-have. It goes on like liquid gold, dries smoothly, and is the stunning in natural light. Be prepared though, women will grab your hands and ask you what you're wearing.

Weekend Mani: Dotted

While shopping my nail color stash, I came across my favorite red from Butter London, and I knew I wanted to do a fun mani after Black Friday Shopping. I also picked up a gorgeous gold color from NY&CO while shopping, and it was the perfect match for the little polka dots I had in mind. I think I'll be wearing this combination for a while. So holiday ready, don't you think?

Butter London Nail Color in Pillar Box Red

NY&CO Nail Color in Millionaire

Butter London Matte Finish Topcoat
