Spice Up Your Manicure With A Sparkly Accent Nail

Hello, ladies! One of the girliest indulgences in this world is getting your nails done. Everything seems more fabulous when you have a beautiful manicure. Whether you’re headed to the salon soon or painting your nails at home, I’d like to offer you some inspiration. While there are a wide array of fall nail colors I could list, let’s enjoy oohing and aahing over the trend of having a sparkly accent nail to complement your polish color:

I found these nail ideas on Pinterest, which is always a great place for discovering fun nail art. After looking at enough nail images, it inspired me to pair a fall polish with a fun, sparkly accent nail:

If you really want to up your game, try painting four of your nails with sparkly polish and one accent nail with a regular color. You can see that this idea is also great for holiday parties:

Game Day Glam: Major League Nail Looks

Hey ladies, Major League Baseball’s postseason is underway, and it is time for us to get our game day glam on. While team t-shirts and jerseys are fun to wear, any serious fan can take their look from predictable to Major League-level glam with the help of nail polish!

You may have seen a wide variety of baseball nail designs on Pinterest, but have you tried any yet? I tried a simple design of painting four nails red and one nail white with red seams. Here’s the final look:

All you need is a bottle of red nail polish, a bottle of white nail polish, and a nail color pen. I suggest using Sally Hansen’s I Heart Nail Art pen in Red #380 to get thin, precise baseball seams.

To customize your nails for a specific team, you could swap out the red polish for one of your favorite team’s colors. Or you could use another nail art pen to paint your team’s initials on the accent nail. No matter what color scheme you choose, cheering your team on is always more fun when you do it in style!

Who do you predict will win the World Series? Will you try this nail trend to represent them wherever you go?
