The Paige Pastel Manicure (& Happy Easter!)

Spring is here, and with it: a rainbow of color. In addition to ubiquitous (but welcome!) pastels, we're seeing neon accents popping up in unexpected places — nails! jewelry! totes! t-shirts! — and color being infused into what are typically uninspired wardrobe staples... like your favorite jeans.

Forget the simple spectrum of pale boyfriend jeans to crisp, dark denim. Now you're faced with mint green... or kelly green? Nantucket red, or candy apple red? Decisions, decisions!

When I saw this email from Paige Denim in my inbox, it wasn't just the jeans that caught my eye. It was, simply put, a beautiful array of color. So inspiring, in fact, that I made it my manicure.

This manicure was as simple as can be; the hardest part was rounding up the colors! It was well-received by my pals at the office, and even has a bit of holiday flair. If you're looking for a cheerful way to usher in spring, or a subtle nod to Easter without drawing actual eggs on your nails, then maybe you'll give this a whirl.

The Galaxy Nail Manicure

Looking for a fun Sunday DIY nail art project? My friend over at MSB Chic posted her first "Galactic Manicure." I think it's out of this world!

I've been meaning to try a Galaxy / Galactic nail for a while now and these images (not to mention the millions of Galaxy manis flying around on Pinterest) are just adding rocket fuel to my fire.

Let me know if you end up trying this out, I'd love to post your manis!
