Estée Lauder – Parted Pastel Manicure

February 14th, 2013

I have a major weakness for spring colors, and Estée Lauder’s new pastel collection is pretty close to perfect. When the polishes arrived for the shoot, I couldn’t choose just one, which was the impetus for this simple nail art that combines two colors, side by side. The cotton candy pink and robin’s egg blue are such a fun combination and I love that there are infinite possibilities for this design. I hope you enjoy, and as always, I love seeing your interpretations on Facebook and Twitter!

    I noticed that you change out your nail color often. What product do you use to remove old polish and does it damage your nails and skin? I always end up letting my polish chip off (Hello tacky!!) because my nails become so weak and my skin dries out and gets extremely rough when I use remover. Thanks and love your blog!

    Pretty colors, but honestly your eyelashes stole the show. I was so distracted by how gorgeous they looked, I had to re-watch the video because I missed the whole thing!
