Mani Monday
A #ManiMonday Dotticure Using Nailbox’s Pre-Fall TrendBox
Happy Mani Monday! I hope you all had a fun weekend. I saw Gone Girl, twice, because it was that good. The movie really did the book justice and the casting was pretty spot on. I especially loved Carrie Coon as Nick’s twin, Go. If you are a fan of the book, see it! And if you didn’t read it, what are you waiting for? Though, I took the boyfriend, who hasn’t read it, and he thoroughly enjoyed the film.
Let’s kick off the week with a patterned Dotticure using the Nailbox Pre-Fall TrendBox, curated by my pal Sarah from Chalkboard Nails. I created this look as part of my work with Nailbox but it was so fun that I just had to share it here. I wore it all weekend and got so many compliments.
Essie Fall 2014 Striped Nail Art for #ManiMonday
First, thank you to everyone who commented, emailed, tweeted in response to the post about my baby Loki. I can’t tell you how much it means to me. I’m still reading through everything, it’s hard to do all at once, and responding but the support is amazing.

The German brand puts out a high quality polish in a diverse range of shades. I used two of them today for a beach-inspired #ManiMonday look.

#ManiMonday – Cerulean Garden with Nails Inc Floral Glitter
We live in a pretty active neighborhood. Unless it’s raining or snowing there are always people outside and, lately, they’ve been tackling yard work. Now, I have the blackest of thumbs and the boyfriend can do general cleanup but he’s not going to be starring on HGTV anytime soon. Regardless, I do love see all the flowers popping up around us and it inspired today’s Mani Monday featuring the new Nails Inc Floral glitters.
