NAIL CANDY

Photos via Nail Common

So pumped I came across Nail Common - endless nail art inspiration. Loving the asymmetrical nude base/bright tip french manicures. Not going to lie, seeing these left me with major cuticle envy. I can never seem to get mine to look so smooth and groomed. Now off to get lost in Sephora's nail section. Any cuticle care advice is appreciated!

Speaking of beauty advice, Who What Wear just launched their new beauty site- BYRDIE!

How Cool Is This Star Manicure?

Photo via: @nail_unistella

We haven't been too into nail art lately, but this star manicure is way too cool to not try. Plus, it's a cinch to pull off which is great for the girl on the go. All you need to do to get this look is apply a clear or barely-there pink base coat to your nails. As it dries, place the star stickers in whatever color and size you prefer, and then finish off with a strong top coat to keep it all in place. If you like the look without the natural white nail tips, just make sure to file your nails before you start.
