mani monday: the easy accent nail.

Colors used:
Base color: Turquoise & Caicos by Essie
Accent Nail: Victoriana by Butter London & Queen of Beauty by Sinful Colors

On the days that I don't have the time or energy to do something fancy, I tend to go with the ever popular and incredibly easy accent nail. It adds just a little punch to a regular manicure. I used the same Butter London polish on my toes for a complete mani/pedi look. I would post pics but I have a "thing" about posting pictures of just my toes on the interwebs. Is that weird?


I have to tell you - this manicure made me yearn for a new season! I am SO ready for this heat to leave us and for some cool autumnal weather to happen in its place. I'm missing scarves, boots, jeans, leaves, pumpkiny food, and a hot mug of something right now. I can't wait to use all of my awesome jewel-toned polishes as soon as it starts to cool down!

What is your favorite season?

I have been dying to try some Butter London stuff! But I always run away because they are kind of pricey. And I always wait until I'm almost broke to start lusting after them ;) That accent nail is gorgeous! I'm about ready for fall, too!

This looks so pretty! I think I even have that shade of turquoise at home... :) I don't like to show feet pictures either... not really sure why, but I say NOT weird at all!
My favorite season is summer, fall is a close second though. I love all things pumpkin!

I love the color combo and accent nails are a great way to easily add style to the nails without doing a lot of design.

How much do you love Butter London polishes?
