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 – Blue Camo Edition

Published on by thenavyleopardLeave a comment

My six year old loves camouflage, especially shorts and pants and not just the typical green, but blues as well.  He has worn various versions of the pants and shorts for about two years.  He likes to do his own pattern mixing with stripes and other colors.  Every week he makes suggestions for my nail art that usually revolve around cars.  It is rare that he is that happy with my choice.  He really liked this week’s blue camo nail art.  He also asked me if I was trying to have my nails blend in with my clothes.  I will say the camo is forgiving with the dreaded and inevitable chip.

The main color is my favorite “Creekside” by Vinylux combined with “Indigo Frock” and “Water Park” also by Vinylux.  The nail art and manicure are by Olive & June.

Happy Friday!

Mani Friday – Wink Edition

Published on by thenavyleopardLeave a comment

I was surprised at how much I loved this bright pink when I went for it two weeks ago for Mani Friday – Pink Daisy Edition.  It felt surprisingly neutral, especially with all the J. Crew pink I have been wearing.  This week I decided it was the perfect end of summer color with a blue eyed wink.

Have a great long weekend!

Mani Friday – Bikini Edition

Published on by thenavyleopardLeave a comment

I am savoring the last weeks of summer with beach getaways and a bikini mani.  The summer flew by and I am glad we spent a lot of in both the ocean and pools.  We still plan to get some more beach time in before school starts.  I am beach ready with my mani, for sure.

The color is “Creekside” by CND Vinylux.  The nail art is a navy polka-dot bikini with “Momma” by RGB Cosmetics.  The manicure and nail art are by Olive & June.

Mani Friday – Pink Daisy Edition

Published on by thenavyleopard1 Comment

I am loving all the pink in the new J. Crew collection and their challenge to wear pink for five days.  I decided to be bold and use a color on my hands that I would normally only wear on my toes.  I am loving this bright pink and the adorable daisy nail art.

This week Olive & June announced the August OJColorCrush, “Sun Bleached” by CND Vinylux.  It is one of my favorite colors that I featured in Mani Friday – Bee Edition and my first Mani Friday post, Mani Friday – Pineapple Edition.

 

I decided to try my first half moon mani after doing triangle half moons a couple of weeks ago in Mani Friday – Triangle Half Moon Edition.  I love the gold with the yellow.  It feels like golden sunshine on my hands.  CND Vinylux also wears really well.

The main color is “Sun Bleached” by CND Vinylux and the half moons are “Rose Gold” by RGB Cosmetics.  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.

Mani Friday – Bee Edition

Published on by thenavyleopard1 Comment

My maternal Grandmother B, who I wrote about in this post, would have turned 105 on Sunday.  She lived one day shy of 100 years and is still a daily inspiration.  Her name was B, she loved bees and she definitely buzzed around with infectious and authentic energy.
