#BEAUTYTALK: MY LATEST NAIL SWAG on VINE and featuring ESSIE

The same "big chop" urge we sometimes get when it comes to our hair, I recently felt when visiting my Nail Stylist to get my nail swag on. Click here for my last visit during which I went for a dramatic stiletto shape and eye catching design. And mind you, my nails are natural and they grow fast! And they only grew longer (of course) following my last visit. So the only thing I could think of upon my most recent sit-down, was chop-chop!!! The length of my nails were so long, they were getting stuck in between keys on my keyboard and snagging stuff. I mean the length had become lethal. My nails could've been a deadly weapon or sumpin LOL!

So this time around, my Stylist, Mikal Brannum (follow on IG @belovednails365), and I went for a tame (especially for me) look with an aztec accent. I love the way she layered Essie colors, "Vices Versa", "Under The Twilight" and "I'm Addicted" over a soft lavender base color. And we paired my toes with Essie "Too Taboo." The same as I dress according to my mood, the same applies to my nail swag. This is soft and mellow with a little bit of pop. This is how I'm feeling, press play. I got my nail swag and my pedi swag back! How do you feel about it? What polish colors are you rocking?

#BEAUTYTALK: MY LATEST NAIL SWAG ON VIDEO

Spring is upon us which not only means new clothes and new shoes but new nails too. Whenever my Nail Stylist, Mikal Weathers (on IG @belovednails365), and I get together, something great always comes out of it. My nails are completely natural although the length is a bit longer than I typically go for but I like to step out there sometimes. Click here to see the actual Pinterest pin which inspired this design. The featured color is "Angel From Above" by LeChat but I call the design "Black Bottoms." Press play for the vine video I shot and see for yourself.

Are you a do-it-yourself'er when it comes to your nails? How do you keep your nail swag on point?
