Nails of Crosby Street, Volume XI 💛 Julie Kandalec (@julieknailsnyc), Creative Director @paintboxnails 1. What inspired your manicure? Since spring is approaching (I think!) I was inspired to do something bright and flashy. 2. How did you pick your color combo? I've had this glitter in my arsenal forever - I ordered it from London. When I chose this look I immediately knew it was the one. 3. In one word, how does your mani make you feel? Excited! 4. Favorite Crosby Street store? @soulcycle! Paige is my fave instructor - she's a dancer so her choreo is more dancerly, which I love. 5. Three things you're obsessed with right now? Moving into and redecorating my new Brooklyn apartment, my beauty and travel blog, Julie Off Duty, and creating the perfect Paintbox color combo :)

5. Hot Pink Glitter: Channel your inner Elle Woods with this Delta Nu-approved mani. What, like it’s hard or something?

6. Unicorn: Your wedding day is supposed to be the most magical day of your life, which means holographic unicorn nails are totally acceptable.

7. Rainbow Swarovski: Over-the-top weddings deserve a manicure that fits the vibe.

8. Glitter Confetti: Love confetti, but don’t want to spend all night picking it out of your hair? Consider a glitter confetti manicure instead. Apply a base coat before individually placing mini flecks of confetti. Once the it dries in place, finish with two layers of top coat.

9. Red Roses: Nothing says romance like roses. This floral manicure will make you almost second guess whether or not you should carry an actual bouquet.

10. Rainbow Hearts: For a day dedicated to love, there is no manicure more fitting than one filled with colorful hearts.

11. Glitter Hearts: Dip a toothpick in red nail polish to trace a heart design, then fill in your heart with red glitter.

12. Bling Bling: Engagement rings are plenty sparkly, but a little extra bling never hurt anybody. Use a toothpick to carefully dot rhinestones along the border of your nails.
