Winter can wreak havoc on your nails and hands. Although I do not have to deal with the elements as much in the sunshine state, I still find that no matter how much lotion I apply my hands are always dry. During the winter, I use foot cream on my hands at night to keep them extra-moisturized throughout the day. I also always use a cuticle oil once a week to keep them from cracking.

Need some extra help keeping your hands and nails looking their best without constant visits to the salon? Julep has a step-by-step tutorial with their best winter nail-care tips.


In true Donna and Tom fashion, you should #treatyoself with regular at-home manis. There is something about Sunday nights, anticipating a new week, that makes me want to paint my nails. At least they will look good while I am typing away all day on the keyboard, Starbucks cup by my side. 



Save the flamingo pink and aqua polishes for summer vacation and embrace rich jewel tones for winter. I've been obsessed with pale pink and mauve polishes recently, partly because they help elongate my short fingers. Julep has a gorgeous line of winter polishes, perfect for making all of your Elsa dreams come true. 

Or if bright nails are the one thing that can help you forget about the negative temperature outdoors, then just go with it. It's always summer somewhere, right?

One of my New Year's Resolutions was to keep my nails looking their best! Unfortunately, I've had a little trouble sticking to that resolution. I need to really invest more time in creating a mini-spa/mani experience for myself once a week. I love the idea of a relaxing Sunday night working away on my nails! Thank you for the helpful tips and inspiration :)

The What's In Between

Before I had my son I was working at a bakery and was not allowed to have my nails pained. Now that I'm a stay at home mom I'm working on figuring out how to keep my nails looking nice while chasing my monkey child. Ha. Those are some gorgeous nail polish colors!

Is this a campaign Julep is doing? I love the tips and tricks!!! My skin has reached the "I NEED LOTS OF LOTION" stage over the last few weeks. :)

It is! Hope some of these tips help you. I know I don't have time to keep remembering to reapply lotion every few hours.

Oh my goodness, I barely have time to let them dry without a child demanding constant attention so I can only imagine.

It's one of my favorite times of the week. I feel like it just sets the tone and gives me something to look forward to with Monday looming.

Thanks! I am such a hoarder of nail polishes. It's kind of an obsession.
