Plaid has been my obsession this season. From home decor all the way to now, my nails. I wanted something festive but not the typical Christmas trees. I love the way the turned out. Gray and plaid, can't get any better! I hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas!

My Mani Monday from this past week was something special for our wedding anniversary. I wanted a little sparkle but something classic. Mission accomplished.

Another Monday means another Mani Monday! This week I wanted something a little different than the norm so i chose a grey french manicure. I love it!! Neutral but still fun, fresh, and modern!

This week I went with a grey toned color from Shellac called Field Fox. It's not the average grey though, it has mauve and taupe mixed in. This polish really looks different depending on the lighting. The photo above was taken in daytime sunlight.

First, I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving! Keeping with the warm tones of the holiday season I chose to paint my nails a metallic gold from Nars. It's called Gold Viper. I love it! It's really like jewelry for my nails.

It's Mani Monday again! This past week I wanted to do a black shade to be festive for Halloween and who doesn't love a glossy black polish? I chose Nails Inc. polish in Alexa Silk. It's a black base with an almost gunmetal pearl mixed in, a super elegant black. When you look at it, it really does give off a silk like effect.

This week's Mani Monday is a rich one. Essie's new nail lacquer in "Partner in Crime" is the perfect vampy Fall polish. It's a deep rich chocolate brown with a high shine finish.
I love how shiny it is, resembling patent leather. I used my Sephora Formula X nail cleanser, base coat, and top coat. So far it's been a week without any chipping. This is the perfect shade if you want to add a touch of the trending 90's grunge look to your everyday beauty routine. Find it here. Find the Sephora Formula X system here.

Happy Mani Monday lovers! This week I treated myself to my first gel manicure. I usually get pink and white gel tips or just do regular polish so I wanted to test out what everyone is raving about, the regular gel polish. So far I have to say, I love it! No chips, high gloss, smooth finish. Since I love pale neutral colors on my nails I decided to try OPI's Funny Bunny. I love this polish, it comes in regular form too so I was able to get a pedicure so my toes match. Such a perfect classic color. Not too white and not too pink, I can see this being a favorite of mine for a long time.

It's Mani Monday again, wow the weeks are flying by. This week I wanted something brighter and happy so I chose FormulaX Unmistakable, a robins egg blue. I also decided to try Sally Hansen's new Miracle Gel Top Coat and so far so good!

What color are you wearing this week?

So you ask, a foundation for your nails? I say yes! Butter London has a base coat in a satin nude tone. I think it would be universally flattering. You can wear it underneath your nail polish to create a flawless application or you can wear it on its own. Above I have just the nail foundation on (4 coats mind you) with no top coat. Now if you want the above opaque finish you will need multiple coats, there is no question. It will take some time to dry. But that can't really be a complaint because the purpose is to use it as a base coat not as a standard nail polish.
This nail foundation is not a necessity but it does work nicely and I like that it can be worn on its own. It has a satin finish meaning it has a little shine but appears almost matte.
You can find it here and check out the promo code below for a free makeup bag with your order!
This week's Mani Monday features one of the new nail polishes from Butter London's Lolly Brights collection. It's called Sozzled and it is described as a bright kelly green. Check it out here.
