Glazed Donut

We are in love with this neutral shade. Some nail techs call it ‘glazed donut’, some call it ‘chrome’. Whatever the case, it turns out stunning every time. You can do a a very light neutral color as your base, (light pink, off white/white), and then, they’ll work their magic by rubbing a super fine glitter over the top for a ‘glazed/chrome’ look. It’s a really cool process!

I once did a maroon shade under neath, with ‘silver chrome’ on top and it was gorgeous! The possibilities are endless with this one. Don’t be afraid to get creative!

French Tip

You can’t go wrong with the classic french tip, but what we love most is how versatile the look can be depending on the shape, color, or style you choose! Change up this classic style with a colored tip, OR do an ‘ombre french tip’ style with a dipping powder (only certain nail techs know how to do this).

More Inspiration For You

We hope you found some new and fun manicure inspiration for your next nail appointment! Will you go bold with a new shape or color, or will you stay classy and elegant with something simple? No matter what, we’re excited you found us and feel inspired by what we love. Don’t forget to follow us on social media for your daily inspiration!

01. Victorian Puzzle Purse

One of the oldest recorded Valentine’s is on display in the Postal Museum and dates back to the year 1790! It is known as the Puzzle Purse Valentine – a single large sheet to paper folded to a smaller size. The idea is that once it’s received, the puzzle is to unfold it in the right way to read the handwritten love notes within the folds. You can purchase these pre-made by local artisans, or you can make them for yourself!

04. Deck of cards

There’s hundreds of games you can play with a deck of cards. It’s a gift that almost everyone can find useful- one that definitely won’t collect dust on the shelf!

05. Roller ball perfume / perfume samples

Portable scents are super useful for the avid traveler or gal on the go! Instead of (or in addition to) including candy in your Valentine’s Day card, order a set of perfume samples from your favorite brand and slip them into your cards for the perfect gift.

06. Hair bows

The perfect flirty accessory that can be worn in your hair or in addition to your most used hand bag.

07. Tinted lip balm

For your beauty mogul friends for, honestly, anyone who wants softer, more hydrated lips (we think that’s most people).

08. Custom match boxes

Another practical gift that doubles as a darling home decor piece! You can take the DIY route and customize a set of match boxes yourself, or you can order them to be custom made through a small business on Etsy!

01. Ice Skating Adventure

Find your local ice rink and lace up your skates! During the holiday season, it’s common for places like shopping malls or local plazas to host a pop-up ice rink. Plus, you *don’t* have to be a pro. If you have trouble finding a pop up ice rink, most hockey rinks also offer free-skate hours + rentals!

02. Holiday Lights Tour

Make a cup of hot cocoa to-go and take a leisurely drive or stroll through neighborhoods adorned with dazzling lights and decorations! Map out the best displays and enjoy the enchanting scenery together.

03. Build Gingerbread Houses

Decorate one together and see how your icing skills collide, or make it a competition and see who has the best gingerbread house building skills between the two of you. May the best house win!

04. Attend a Christmas Tree Lighting

These are usually towards the beginning of the holiday season, and you’re most likely to catch them within the first week. So make sure you plan ahead to attend a Christmas tree lighting with your partner!  

05. Holiday Movie Marathon

Snuggle up with your favorite festive flicks, from timeless classics to new releases. You can amp up the cozy atmosphere with blankets, popcorn, and hot cocoa for the *ultimate* movie night in.

06. Gift Wrapping Party

Fun + productive! Gather up your trinkets and goodies and spend the evening wrapping Christmas presents together. If you haven’t chosen your holiday wrapping yet, throw that into the agenda and pick out your favorite wrapping paper and ribbons for the holiday season!

07. Cookie Decorating Contest

Because who doesn’t love fresh baked cookies? Put your creativity to the test with some at-home ingredients and a friendly cookie decorating contest. If you need a recipe, this is one of our go-tos! When you’re both done decorating your sweet treats, send photos to your friends and family and have them vote on who created the most inspiring cookie!

08. Holiday Craft Night 

There’s something about the craft store during the holiday season that just hits different. Make a run to your local craft store and get supplies to spend a cozy night in getting crafty! Using anything from glittery papers to twirling ribbons, there is so much you can make as keepsake gifts for each other. These are some of our favorite holiday crafts that get us into the Christmas spirit! 

09. See The Nutcracker Ballet

For something extra enchanting, make your date a night out and see the Nutcracker ballet this holiday season! This activity gives you the perfect excuse to get all dressed up for a nice evening out. Bonus date night additions: happy hour cocktails + dinner for two before the show!

10. Visit a Christmas Tree Farm

Can’t you just smell the pine needles already?! Bring your camera and take a trip to your local Christmas tree farm! Even if you aren’t interested in coming home with a fresh Christmas tree, grab a cup of coffee for the ride and bring a camera to take some sweet photos together during this festive date night! A Christmas tree farm makes for the *perfect* backdrop for some darling Christmas photos.

11. Spend Time in the Snow

Day trip, anyone? Embrace the winter wonderland vibes with a charming day trip to the snow! If you’re in Los Angeles, Lake Arrowhead is only a short drive away from the city and brings you to the most gorgeous views and chilly mountain air. Bundle up and head outdoors for some playful fun in the snow; which may or may not include making snowmen, throwing snowballs, and all the things of that sort! 

12. Cook a Holiday Meal Together

Spice up your holiday date night by cooking a festive meal together! Throw on your aprons and dive into preparing a delightful holiday feast, from traditional roasts to sweet treats. The best holiday dinners always include a balance of something savory and something sweet– wouldn’t you agree?

13. Charity Volunteering

Nothing will get you in the holiday spirit like giving back to your community! For something different, volunteer at your local charity with your partner for your special date night out. Whether it’s serving meals at a shelter, participating in a toy drive, or engaging in another local charity event, this kind of date night can help foster a deeper connection and embodies the true meaning of the holiday season. 

14. DIY Holiday Cards

Pull out the cardstock and paint sets! This is another practical + fun date night activity because you get to be creative while making holiday cards for friends and family! You can use any materials you’re comfortable with, but some of our favorites are watercolor paints and cardstock!

15. Create a Vision Board for the New Year

Kickstart the new year by spending a date night creating vision boards together! This is not only such a fun activity, but it’s a great opportunity for you and your partner to connect on what goals you want to establish together for the new year. You can use any materials you want for your vision board, but some of our favorites include magazines, inspiring images and favorite quotes. And of course, don’t forget the board itself and some great glue!
