15 Seriously Creative Christmas Nail Art Ideas You Can Do Yourself

by Karly Wood
written by Karly Wood

When it comes to the holidays, you can never have enough bling, and that includes a holiday manicure. While I always love being mesmerized by the professional quality mani of a cosmetologist or the seamless look of a nail wrap, I personally love finding manicures that I can replicate myself. I’m a mom and I need something practical, but something that’s also fun and something I can do on my own. You know, when I have all that free time? Anyways, here are my favorite Christmas nail art ideas that I hope to try this year!

1. Oh Christmas Tree

Nothing says Christmas like a tree! This simple green, sparkly mani is a cinch, and that silver Christmas tree can be whipped up by hand, too!

One of my favorite things to do before each holiday is to have my nails done so they look festive for the season. I think it’s fun to coordinate with the holiday. With Thanksgiving coming very quickly, it’s time to start thinking about how you want to have your nails done. There are so many beautiful, fun, and festive ways to do your nails for Thanksgiving that your options are endless. However, we’ve rounded up 9 of the best for you to choose from.

1. Gobble Gobble

There’s nothing more iconic for Thanksgiving than turkeys themselves, so why not put them on your nails? These little guys sure are adorable!

2. Pilgram Owls

Owls are most certainly an iconic fall symbol, but pilgrim owls are even more perfect for Thanksgiving. Not to mention, incredibly cute!

3. Fall Glitter

If you’re looking to keep things a little more simple for your Thanksgiving manicure, use some fall colors with some fall colored glitter. Brown is the perfect base for this colorful fall glitter. It screams “fall.”

written by Karly Wood

Fall is around the corner and there are tons of fun things to look forward to: cooler weather, sweaters, boots, hay rides, pumpkin everything. Even our beauty routines start to change with the weather in an order to accomodate drier conditions and embrace fall fashion. I personally love embracing the earth and jewel tones, especially when it comes to changing up my manis and pedis. If you’re looking for some new ways to say goodbye to summer and hello to fall, check out these fall nail designs.

1. Pumpkin Accent Nail

While I love a detailed manicure, the fact is that I could never paint anything crazy on my nails because I can’t draw to safe my life. That’s why I usually like accent nails, just a little bit of somethin’ somethin’ without major artist skills required. This pumpkin accent nail is something I could even manage. I love the simple pumpkin design paired with the adjacent bright orange glitter polish.

3. Cherry Bomb Ombre

The rich red tones in this “Cherry Bomb” ombre manicure are definitely fall-worthy. This design is achieved by using a makeup sponge to dab on the gradient color and it’s a look we could wear all year long!

18 Spooky, Creepy And Scary Halloween Nail Designs

by Karly Wood
written by Karly Wood

Like many women, I appreciate the cute manicure every now and then. The holidays seem to give new life and meaning to a fun mani and Halloween is no exception. From creepy crawlies to spooky spiders, there’s no end to festive and fabulous Halloween mani’s. Scroll down to see some pretty amazing ideas to dress up your nails this October 31st.

1. Glow in the Dark Oozing Nails

Nothing says icky like ooey, gooey, oozing nails. Even better? Glow in the dark nail polish which means you can’t escape this freaky mani, even in the the dark.

2. Black Stiletto Nails

Pointed and deadly, just like the famed (and super uncomfortable heels), these Stiletto nails are perfect for your witch costume this year. It’s easy to file to a point and then paint in glossy and glittery black to get the full effect.

3. Jack Skellington

Personally, I don’t like all those nail films. They feel like they don’t let my nails breathe and they never seem to cover my entire nail bed. That’s why I love this easy “how to” on getting the Jack Skellington nail design! The artist makes it simple and totally doable, without the nail sticker.

written by Karly Wood

At this point in the season, we still don’t know who will be going head to head in Super Bowl LII (but we DO know Justin Timberlake will be performing the half-time show!), but that doesn’t mean you can’t start prepping the nail portion of your game day attire. Whether you are a die hard football fan, or just hit up the parties because of all the great food, Super Bowl Sunday is the perfect excuse to do a fun mani. We’ve rounded up some stylish Super Bowl manicures that will get you in the spirit in no time.

1. Pigskin & Turf

Keep it neutral and all about football with this cute pigskin and turf mani. You don’t need to pledge your allegiance to any one team while sporting this look. All you need is a festive green, some brown for your football nails and a little free-hand action to create the laces!

Check out other fun football party ideas at LydiOutLoud.com.

3. Football Frenchie

While this definitely mirrors the style we saw in the first mani in our list, we have to say we are loving the football frenchie! Instead of painting your entire nail green, make it fancy and just paint the tips. Touchdown!

4. All About Football

Proclaim your love of football with this somewhat detailed football mani. It doesn’t matter who’s got skin in the game because this is all about the brown and white. Whip out your nail art brushes and get to working- this kind of detail probably works best when confined to an accent nail, not every nail or you’ll be there forever!

Nailed It! 10 Gorgeous Geometric Manicures To Try In 2018

by Karly Wood
written by Karly Wood

Geometric manis are new in the nail game this year, and whether you consider yourself a nail novice or a pro, almost anyone can pull off this design. Also known as negative space manicures, you can easily get this look without nail wraps (can I hear an amen?) by using washi tape and your favorite nail polishes colors. Here are just some of our favorites we totally plan to nail this year (see what I did there?).

https://www.instagram.com/p/BZthQHTDVfJ/

1. Cute Cutouts

I love this mani that appears to have “cut and pasted” color chunks from one nail to the next. Only a few nails need this design to get a maximum wow factor, and the color choices are endless. This is a cute and classy look that easily goes from work to play.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BVry6CFhcxb/

2. Black, White, and Amazing All Over

Can you get any classier than black and white, or any easier than a diagonal line? Black tie affairs, heading to the office, or wrestling on the floor with the kids- there’s nowhere this mani can’t go.

3. Simple, Simple, Simple

Ok we lied about that last one- this black and white mani is just as amazing and easy. Basic black and white lines are simple laid atop a nude base coat. They look classy and would go perfect with all those mini finger rings you have lying around. If you prefer a more colorful option, this manicure would look just as awesome with some pops of color.

9 Hot Manicures For This Summer

by Karly Wood
written by Karly Wood

When I have a private moment to myself, you can either find me watching HGTV or attempting to give myself a manicure. Pre-children, I would never have an unpolished nail and I found myself collecting nail polish in what I now consider an act of gluttony. Nowadays, I rarely have a smudge free mani because I never have time to wait for it to dry and more often that not, I just sport the popular “nude” look (i.e. no polish). BUT. That doesn’t mean I don’t dream of cute nails and this week it was all about that hot summer manicure. Here’s to hoping I can actually do some of these and they won’t just be a dream!

 

1. Watermelon Mani

I’m definitely no artist but this adorable watermelon accent nail is simple enough that I’m pretty sure I can pull it off. Nothing says Summer like some sweet watermelon!

2. LIfe’s A Beach

This mani is not for the faint of heart and you can actually take a sigh of relief because it wasn’t created by freehand. Would you believe it’s created by a stamp? Either way, it’s gorgeous and it screams SUMMER!

3. Tropical Paradise

I love how the simple use of the vibrant turquoise does most of the work in this summer mani. Add an glittery accent nail and a pretty hibiscus flower and you’ll be yearning for the tropics in no time.
