After weeks of chipped, funky nails, I finally made it back to Bahama Mama for a manicure. I originally wanted a deep red color, but fell for this purple shade instead. Maybe I was inspired by Angelica's coat. ;-)

So, I'm totally having Bahama Mama withdrawal, but I haven't left my weekly beauty fix at the side of the road like a forgotten picnic basket. I've been frequenting Elegant Touch here in East Hampton. It's a lovely little salon that also offers waxing services. Did I tell you that I started waxing my arms? OBSESSED! I'll save that story for another post.

I know, I know. I broke my promise, I haven't posted any weekly manicures since last month. Please forgive me, things gave been pretty hectic over in my neck of the woods. But now I'm back on track with a multicolor evolution of my last manicure. I found it on one of the pinterest boards I follow and had to get it on my hands straight away. And now that I'm posting this, I think the bunting that I've been researching for my son's new room may have also inspired me too.

Here's this week's manicure. They're suggestive heart bottoms at the tips of my nails in Essie "orange, it's obvious" (which I think is becoming my favorite). I can't take any credit for the title. It came to me by way of two sources. First, and obviously, it's the title of Beyonce's totally catchy song "Love on Top." You know the one she performed on the 2011 MTV VMA's when she she gave us the first glimpse of her growing Blue Ivy bump? The second source for the title came from a really cute piece that that we published on Grazia.it featuring bloggers like Nicole of Gary Pepper Vintage wearing gorgeous bra tops and bustiers. To see me do more hand signaling...

This week I showed up to Bahama Mama without any inspiration for my weekly manicure. So Gaia, the owner, buyer, merchandiser and genius behind the gorgeous taste salon, suggested I get a manicure with a matte finish. A suggestion to which I responded a flat no. I have disliked matte polish from the time my best friend Andrea introduced it to me a few seasons ago. Gaia insisted. She told me how amazing it would look in Essie "Geranium," and how it would make my hands look like "Barbie hands." I relented because she's got incre-e-e-e-e-e-edible taste. Have a closer look and give me your thoughts:
What do you think?

I was so crazed last week that I wasn't able to post my weekly manicure. Since I was headed to Miami for my best friend's bachelorette party, I opted for bright random strokes of Essie "orange, it's obvious" and "lights". It was a great choice considering that we rented a barbie-pink, stretch hummer for the weekend. Lol! The hummer wasn't as tacky as you are probably imagining. Honestly speaking, we all kind of fell in love with it's bubble-gum hue. Sure people were staring, pointing and laughing at us every time we pulled up to a venue, but hey, bachelorette parties weren't meant to be posh affairs.

O.K., the winter hibernation period is officially over. No more excuses for completely ignoring my beauty routine! No more skipping waxing sessions, no more clogged pores, and no more chipped nails! So many beautiful spring dresses and sky high platforms to debut, the Spring calls for full-on glamour! How do I plan to achieve my goal of all-or-nothing gorgeousness you ask? Well, I've already resumed my weekly appointments at my favorite beauty taste bar Bahama Mama. And, while I'll spare you imagery of my varied beauty treatments (thank god!), I'm more than happy to show you my colorful french manicure. In fact, to prove I'm no beauty slacker, I'll be posting my weekly manicures all summer long. Don't think I can keep up the routine? Check back next week!
Now if I could only give up the doughnuts ;-).
xoxo, Tamu
