I received a lovely polish from Alter Ego Nail Enamel via a giveaway she was having on her Instagram page (@alteregonailenamels). This is my first polish from Alter Ego, how exciting. The polish I received was Taupiarist.
Taupiarist is a holographic matte taupe. It is very delicate and subtle but makes a statement. The formula was excellent. I did three thin coats with top coat.
I wanted to add nail art to my manicure but didn’t want to cover up this gorgeous polish. I decided to go with a pink rose. The rose decal is from the Born Pretty Store.
I love how this manicure came out.
I give Alter Ego Nail Enamel – Taupiarist, 5 brains. I love this color and the formula.

Beauty Tips for Women: Marilyn Monroe Manicure
Enjoying my Mother’s Day weekend with a Marilyn Monroe movie binge, which inspired my manicure.
The polish I used for this manicure are:
China Glaze – Love Letters
Sally Hansen – Smoky
Pure Ice – Silver Mercedes
Rica – Blackout
HongNuo – Glitter in silver
Seche Vite
The Marilyn Monroe image and the swirling image are from Born Pretty plate BP-15. I stamped them using Rica Blackout. 
I wanted to do a black and silver color combination. A play on the simple sexy little black dress Marilyn Monroe wore while playing ukulele in Some Like It Hot. The silver is for diamonds of Gentlemen Prefer Blonds.
I really liked how this manicure turned out.
Beauty Tips for Women: Pink French Manicure
Here is a delicate twist on the staple French Manicure. I wanted to do pink but I wanted something that was subtle. I went with Sinfulcolors Professional Salior’s Delight, which is a lovely soft pink.
Very simple and I love how it came out.
