well my friends…i think it’s officially time to move the darker nail polish colors to the back of the shelf and get working on your spring manicures! just thought i’d put together a little round-up of some of my fave past manicures in case you needed a little inspiration. you can click on the links above to see more details and the full post for each manicure. and for those of you that have asked how i keep my cuticles looking so clean, you can see my DIY home manicure post here. the only thing that has really changed is my base and top coat. i like to use OPI’s “start to finish” which is a base/top coat combo. and when i am in a hurry, i use seche vite or essie’s “good to go” top coat for fast drying!

    Love this round up – have been wanting to try something different and I think number 6 is what it will be! 🙂

    Aww – I love all of these. The peachy Essie is probably my fav.
