Mani Friday – Navy Leopard Edition

Published on by thenavyleopardLeave a comment

This was a good week for The Navy Leopard.  I am feeling very grateful and inspired.  This week’s mani was inspired by the New Balance for J. Crew active wear that I have been wanting to wear 24/7. It was featured on Tuesday in Pattern Mix Hits the Gym.  I actually changed out of other active wear today to put it back on, it’s that comfortable!

The color is “Incognito in Sausalito” by OPI.  The manicure and nail art are by Olive & June.

Thank you for all of your support of the blog.

Happy Friday!

Mani Friday – #SHINYPONIES Edition

Published on by thenavyleopard2 Comments

It is clear that I love shoes. If you have been following my blog for awhile, you know that these striped shoes got a workout this summer and served as a perfect neutral.  They were also the shoes I was wearing when my six year old snapped a photo that ended up on J. Crew‘s #SHINYPONIES page as I mentioned in Shoes Tell the Story this week.  So I decided to commemorate my proud Mama moment with yet another shoe, this time on my hand.

The color is “Do You Take Lei Away” by OPI.  The nail art and manicure are by Olive & June.

This week’s manicure is inspired by the J.

Crew stores and on NET-A-PORTER.  Check it out as quantities are limited.

Mani Friday – I ♥ NY Edition

Published on by thenavyleopardLeave a comment

On Monday I wrote about my experience at Ground Zero on September 11, 2001 in Sliding Doors.  New York is definitely one of my favorite cities in the world and it holds a special place in my heart.  A friend gave me a I ♥ NY tee shirt during my visit back after I had moved to California.  The anniversary of this horrific and tragic day makes me want to hug all those close to me and give New York a big hug.

The color is “Alpine Snow” by OPI.  The manicure and nail art are by Olive & June.

Mani Friday – Plain White Edition

Published on by thenavyleopard2 Comments

I love white in summer – white jeans, a white dress, a crisp white shirt.  Until this week, I had never worn white nail polish.  I had decided I wanted it on my toes this week.  I also rarely match my manicure and pedicure.  I had a conversation with a friend who always matches.  She attributed it to her Virgo nature.  It stuck with me and I had to overcome my Gemini nature of not always being able to decide and choose just one color.  I liked it so much, that I decided to skip the art this week.  The plain white is the art.  I also had plain white on the brain as I was headed to a Summer concert to see The Plain White Ts.  They were amazing!

The color is “Amazing Grace” by Deborah Lippmann.  The manicure is by Olive & June.

Happy Friday!
