Tickled Pink

July 26th, 2011

{Strawberries and cream nails + ice cream}

My week got off to a not-so-great start, so I’m trying to concentrate on the things that are working for me. Apparently they’re all centered around the color pink, to which I have no objection.

{New petal pink patent Miu Mius}

{Warm summer night essential – chilled bottle of rosé}

    Have you ever tried wine soaked peaches? Simple peel a peach, soak it in Rose overnight, the next day pair it with some vanilla ice cream. Its the perfect summer treat.

    I have been loving glitter nail polish recently, but I find it only last about two days before the edges start to get caught on everything and peel off… Even with a layer or two of top coat. Grr.

    The shoes are amazing, of course. I love any shoe with a bow.

    Hope the rest of you week goes well!

    Ok I am seriously obsessed with your nails! so pretty!! How do you remove it?! I use Deborah Lippman but seriously her glitter polish takes like 1/2 hour to remove.

    Sorry to hear about your week but glad that the color pink is there for you right now. I love the glitter ring finger. I love this trend and often do my nails with a finger that stands out from the rest.

    oops..i think I meant the above comment for the photos of your dress. but love the manicure!!

  • Marisa

    Because I work on a computer all day & spend most of my free time in the kitchen, I tend to keep my nails short & natural. But for some reason this manicure spoke to me. I just did a gold version with NYC’s Bryant Park (a subtle, shiny gold) & Milani’s Jewel FX in Gold (big, bold glitter). It’s slightly over the top, but fun- & perfect for summer. Thanks, Emily!

    The photo of the ice cream and the nails is amazing. I like the one glittery nail. I’ll have to get my wife to do that. She’s fond of this crackle nail polish stuff now that my little daughter loves.

    Hi there. I encountered this blog because a pic you tweeted of these nails was on Pinterest. I was dying to know the name of the nail polish, too – but you said on facebook that it’s Cal Gel. So does that mean it needs to be done professionally? Argh. :)

    Thanks for all the inspiration – nails and otherwise.

    -Rebecca

  • Lindsey

    I just read through 286 comments to find the names of the nail polish you used. So sad that you couldn’t be bothered to reply to a single message. Not even a simple thank you for all those well-wishes.

  • Emily

    Hi Lindsey,
    Thanks for your note. Unfortunately I don’t have time to respond to all of my comments, which is why I always write people back via email or answer questions through my social media channels (like Twitter and Facebook). I’m very appreciative of everyone’s well wishes and kindly let my readers know that those nail polish colors didn’t have a names, as they were CalGel. Sorry I couldn’t be of more help.

  • maria

    Emily, the the sparkly color that you used in your nail is Sally Hansen Salon Effects real polish strips in 210 Frock Star strips.

  • Emily

    Hey Maria,
    While I love ‘Frock Star’ and the fun, rainbow glittery look, unfortunately Sally Hansen doesn’t make an equivalent in light pink (like my nails here). The best way to achieve the look at home is with a little top coat and then sprinkle real glitter on top (I like Martha Stewart). I hope this helps clear up any confusion!

    it was so crazy! i actually found this while my nails were actually like this! light pink and sparkles on my ring fingers. but this image of it is wonderful!
