Manicure Monday: Barbie Party

Happy Manicure Monday! Yep you heard it, who needs a Music Monday, when you’ve got your nails did? Disclaimer: Since music is near and dear to our hearts, some Mondays may also include Music Monday.

In the meantime — some of my closest friends have quoted me saying “your nails are your best accessory,” and this is the beauty mantra I most abide by. As you know we LOVE doing our nails, getting our nails did, and checking out other girls’ nails.

   

In this week’s edition of #MM, titled, my nails went to a party and I wasn’t invited. This past Saturday I took seeking out a great pink, a Barbie pink in fact, and this is what I came upon, Secret Story by Essie. Where would Barbie be without a celebration, so throw on some confetti (Snappy Sprinkles by Sally Hansen) and these digits are ready for any party.

music monday: ellie goulding

Ellie Goulding is a little blonde girl from London, England who sings heavily produced indie pop tunes and dances with her hands in all of her videos (can’t really blame her, if I were told to sing into a camera and dance I wouldn’t know what to do with my hands either). Her songs are catchy and fun and her voice is really intriguing, even if it may be under the influence of auto tune.  Below are videos for three of her singles, Guns and Horses, Starry Eyed, and Under the Sheets. Click for a cover of Robyn’s “Be Mine” as well as a Jakwob remix of Starry Eyed.
