So I have really been enjoying this stiletto nail trend. While it took some getting used to as far as typing is concerned, I've grown accustomed. This go around I played around with various shades of purple. I wouldn't necessarily call ... Read More

I wouldn't say that I got too jazzy with my nails this week, but I'm really excited about the color I picked. Blue isn't my go to color when it comes to my nails (it's not?) but Essie's Smooth Sailing ... Read More

I finally got to do my nails this weekend before the bestie's birthday party. (I had run that tribal nail mani into the ground.) I have a rule of thumb: when it's someone else's birthday wear all black so they ... Read More

I'm so excited about my latest mani. I've been so anxious to try the tribal nail trend and I finally found some time last night to give it a try. I used about 6 nail colors and two nail art ... Read More

Took a stab in the dark with my nail art. It was totally a Shrek of an effort. I used one of my favorite colors - OPI's "Who The Shrek Are you?" - and Sinful Colors' "Snow Me White". I ... Read More

So I tried a laser mani for the first time this week. You know, although it was my first time I'll recommend this: do NOT use scotch tape. That it would suffice. WRONG. Must use nail tape. I'll be making ... Read More

This weekend I did a bit of running around and I got a much needed mani and pedi. (As if I need an excuse.) If you've been reading Mattieologie for a while now, you know that I just can't get ... Read More

Extra, extra read all about it. Not the paper, but my newspaper manicure. I've really been avoiding going to get my nails done because I really felt that I should be creative enough to do them myself. I didn't just ... Read More

I was inspired by one of my fellow bloggers the other day when I saw them with this incredible teal-esque nail lacquer in one of their OOTD posts. (I don't remember who it is :() And by inspired, I mean ... Read More

I could totally see Beyonce wearing this. I am absolutely obsessed with this gold glitter polish I now own thanks to my friend, Erica. It's Tip Toe nail polish in gold dust from Old Navy. It's brilliant. Literally. And while ... Read More

So I mentioned this trend last year but because I love it so much I think it's appropriate to bring it back this spring. It's the ombre nail. The person I saw pull it off marvelously is Lauren Conrad. Love ... Read More

This spring calls for the neutral cool shade of gray on nails. It's a color that can go with anything from bright, bold colors or even light pastels. Against black or white, it pops and makes a chic statement. I ... Read More

Exciting news! Tennis star Serena Williams and singer Katy Perry will both release OPI collections at the top of the year. OPI announced last month that the two stars will launch collections in January 2011. Serena will release her 'Grand Slam' ... Read More

The other day, I came across the awesomeness that is Ginger + Liz. Their colors are bright, fun and best of all organic and vegan friendly. Created by model/author S. Liz Pickett and entrepreneur H. Ginger Johnson, the duo ... Read More

Nobody likes their manicure to chip. Especially after 3 days. SHELLAC is the newest technology in nails that takes half the time to put on but lasts twice the time of a normal manicure. I found out about this new ... Read More

American Apparel introduced their new beauty entity not too long ago - the AMERICAN APPAREL NAIL LACQUER - and I was quite impressed with it. The collection features 18 vibrant colors like Hunter, Palm Springs and Mount Royal. (Rose Bowl ... Read More
