Mani Monday | Blvck

Believe me when I tell you, Oahn at Rex Day Spa in Falls Church, VA is the real deal. I may have mentioned before that I've been painting my nails since I was 4 so, needless to say, I'm very particular about my manicures! Truthfully, I've never been completely satisfied until now.

About my nails:
My good friend Bridget is a nail diva and after seeing her wear this half moon design earlier in the year, I knew that I wanted to replicate it. Soon after two failed attempts (one mine and the other at a salon), I decided to get a name: Oahn. For my appointment, I requested the half moon design and Erin Fetherston's NYFW Fall 2015 accent nail. Basically altering two inspirations to make them my own. My nails were prepped to my liking (she even patched up a snag!), and the nail art was skillfully completed with precision.

I usually don't paint with gel colors or shellac because it lasts at least 2-weeks, and I get bored quickly. But, I love, love, love my nails! What do you think?

Two-Faced

I love a good duo. And this black and silver liquid sand polish by OPI had me so excited to try both colors, that decided to use them both in the same manicure! This fab set of polish even came with some glitzy hair ties...how fancy! What do you think of my two-faced mani?

When In Doubt....Go Black!

It can be such a struggle to find the perfect outfit to wear! And though you've heard it before, black is a go-to color, and can be worn for almost any occasion. Want to mix it up? Try playing with the silhouette like I did with this lacey cut out dress, toss on some killer accessories, and you're good to go!
