Manicure Trend Du Jour — Chicago Blues
If Chicago were a color, apparently it would be blue (although judging from the sky today, gray might be more apropos). Within recent months not one, but two different popular establishments here have created very different shades of nail polish to pay homage to the Windy City. And both nailpolishes are blue. And as fashionable [...]

The Coolest Looks From New York Fashion Week – Nail Edition
“How long is NYFW? I am so sick of seeing it in my timeline!” A dear friend (who isn’t into fashion) asked me that this week, and I LOLed. As the name indicates, Mercedes Benz NYFW lasts a week. Thurday September 8 to Thursday September 15. And yes, it seems like FOREVER, if you’re following [...]
Minx Or Shellac, What’s The Difference?
Recently I heard a woman at a nail salon asking for Minx when she really meant that she wanted a no-chip manicure. At that point I had only tried Shellac — arguably the most well known no-chip manicure on the market. I was happy with my Shellac experience, but if you read the Monday Manicure [...]
My Monday Manicure – Afrobella Loves The Nail Social!
I’ve been such a slacker with my Monday Manicure posts, bellas. I even got called out on it by an Afrobella reader at the airport in NYC not too long ago. “Hey, what happened to your nail posts?” she asked. It’s been a while and I apologize. And I’m back with a new Monday Manicure [...]
My Monday Manicure – Adventures in Shellac Nail Polish
How many no-chip nail polishes and manicures are currently on the market? Now there are MANY. It can be hard to even figure out which one to get, each nail salon seems to offer something different. I’d been on the no-chip nail polish fence for a while, but I got lucky for the first time [...]

It’s 2011, and the plan for Afrobella is to be bolder and braver than before! So I figured it’d be best to kick things off than with a Monday Manicure that takes no prisoners. TA-DOW! Disco ball nails! It’s the kind of manicure that’s either totally up your alley, or not your cup of tea [...]
My Monday Manicure: The Back Room at Carol’s Daughter
During New York Fashion Week, I made it to one actual fashion show…but I time for many meet and greets, dinners, breakfasts and fun with fellow bloggers and the brands I L-O-V-E love. One of the absolute highlights of this year’s New York Fashion Week was my trip to the Carol’s Daughter flagship store on [...]
My Monday Manicure – Nail Art FTW!
My experiments with nail art have been hit or miss thus far. And a recent experiment was such a miss, I was like – lemme just stick with bold bright nails and keep it moving. Clearly I don’t know what I’m doing with nail pens or mini paintbrushes. But last Friday, I was lucky enough [...]
My Monday Manicure – OPI Catch Me In Your Net
I hope you’ll forgive me for posting my Monday Manicure on Tuesday morning. Last night I had TOO much fun, and that’s where the manicure madness began! My friends at Spa Week came to Chicago to kick off their latest round of fabulous $50 treatments! Celebrate You Chicago was a blogger’s soiree held at the [...]
My Monday Manicure: China Glaze Poolside!
The sun is up, the sky is blue. It’s beautiful, and so are you! I had to quote one of my favorite Beatles songs to let you know how I feel! Spring is in the air and today, Chicago is sunny and bright. Mind you, just this past weekend it snowed outta nowhere. But right [...]

Summertime is in full swing and it’s all about wearing your cutest sandals and letting your fingers and toes do the talking! I love the season, and it’s the perfect time to take risks with your safe, typical mani/pedi. Of course being a bella on a budget, you might be giving yourself a lot of [...]
