Mani Monday – 7th Birthday Edition

This weekend we celebrated my son’s seventh birthday with a cake decorating party at Duff’s Cakemix.  I was amazed at the focus and attention to detail that each of the ten boys brought to their masterpieces.  They had so much fun and were so helpful to one another.  They managed to share the coveted lego candy that, of course, most of them needed for their designs.  It is inspiring to watch them and their unbridled enthusiasm.  It fills me with hope for the future.

The manicure and nail art are by Olive & June.  The color is “Creekside” by CND Vinylux.

Happy Monday!

This week I wanted something elegant and neutral with a pop of color.  I went with nude and blue triangles on two nails on one hand and one on the other hand.  I felt like a full set would just be too much.

Mani Monday – The Flower Guy Edition

It feels like Spring.  At least in the stores and definitely this weekend in Los Angeles, actually make that Summer.  Nothing screams Spring like flowers.  The Michael De Feo for J. Crew collection of t-shirts give J. Crew‘s new roll a freshness that is irresistible.  I featured all three t-shirts (the Painted Daisy Vase, Striped with Painted Flowers, and Painted Tulips) last week in Blooming in Blue.  The collection inspired this week’s mani.

The color is “Mariniere” by Chanel.  The manicure and nail art are by Olive & June.

My Fitbit Flex 2 in navy is pictured above and is so easy to wear.

Happy Monday!

Mani Monday – Mad for Plaid Edition

It is no secret that I am mad for plaid.  My first nail art was a plaid nail like this one with red nails a year ago.  I have been hooked on nail art every since.  My love of plaid is shown in It’s time for Plaid! , Plaid and Leopard, Pink and Plaid, Black Watch, Stripes, Sequins and Lace, Matchy Matchy , Beam Me Up , and Plaid Tidings.  In case you clicked on any of the items (like the amazing plaid shoes) and received a a sold out notification, several items come back in stock a few times.  It is worth a second try.

 

The color is“Rouge Red” by CND Vinylux.  The manicure and nail art are by Olive & June.

Happy Monday!
