Manicure Monday

Other than hair, nails are my thing! I have over 200 bottles of nail polish. Addicted? Perhaps!

In my eyes, all of the colors are different, even if it’s just slightly. I’m pretty sure I’ve used almost every color at least once. I find painting my nails to be very therapeutic.

My motto is “Every nail polish has its day.” I usually decide which color I’m going to wear if it jumps out at me. If it doesn’t jump out at me, then it’s not the color for the week. It’ll get its time to shine at a later date.

Here’s my manicure for the week.

Go-To Style Revisited

One of my favorite go-to transitioning styles was a “two strand flat twist out” because it was easier to camouflage the two different textures.

I actually haven’t done this since I’ve been 100% natural because I knew it wouldn’t look the way I expected it to look. This past weekend I decided to revisit the style. Instead of twisting it straight back like I always did in the past, I twisted it the way I wanted my hair to fall.

I twisted my hair while it was wet, as I’ve always done. Of course, it wasn’t dry the following day. Surprise! Surprise! I just knew it would turn out disastrous, but to my surprise, I was very pleased with the results. My hair came out fluffy, but still had great definition.
