Hello ladies,
I put together a collection of looks from 2010. These were composed of reader favorites, experiments with technique and simply manicures I enjoyed creating. The manicures are shown in order of how they were posted, from January through December 2010.
Below each picture is a link to each original post. You can travel there to see more photos or gather information about how to recreate the look at home. I hope you enjoy the retrospective.
