Wedding Ideas - Monday #2

All over America, our lovely Stateside readers are probably tucking into turkey right about now, or popping their pumpkin pies into the oven - Happy Thanksgiving guys, have a fabulous one! But over here in London, it's business as usual.

Here at Snippet and Ink, we make sure not to miss out on all the great Cyber Monday deals, and you shouldn't either! Luckily, we did all the work for you - here's what's on our wish list this year...what to buy and where to find it! Happy shopping! 1.

Thanksgiving is on the horizon and among the things we’re thankful for this year, festive seasonal manicures rank pretty high. When the leaves turn colors, we can’t help but be inspired by the golden yellows, burnt oranges and deep reds. Grab three of your favorite seasonally appropriate polishes and be

It's the most wonderful time of the year: Time for some serious beauty discounts! With Cyber Monday just around the corner, it's time to get your laptop, coffee, credit cards and holiday shopping list ready. Of course, these deals are only available online, so there's no need to brave the cold or the crowds this weekend-you can be productive while staying in your post-Thanksgiving-dinner sweatpants.

Happy Monday, lovelies! I hope you had a great weekend! As you know, I had shared a ton of great deals and sales on Friday in honor of Black Friday. And today I am bringing you a ton of deals and more sales for your Cyber Monday Shopping!

We’re not exactly history experts, but we’re guessing when our Founding Fathers decided on red, white, and blue as the country’s defining colors they didn’t do so with the awesome nail art possibilities in mind. Luckily, that combination leaves the door for patriotic polish options wide open. This 4th of

As much as we're in awe every time we see a complex, competition-winning manicure, we can't deny the appeal of basic nail art. No more than three colors used and the ease of knowing that we did it all on our own with minimal post-manicure clean up is ...

A dotting tool can be a life saver when it comes to creating new nail looks. That's why we enlist these and/or Scotch tape in just about every manicure we do. Because the ease of a dotting tool makes us look like a bunch of certified nail technicians b...

We’re feeling all kinds of fancy today, and what better way to get all dolled up than to dress up our tips–tuxedo style. Since we don’t have any black tie balls in our date books, we’ve deemed the “Black Tie French Manicure” Monday (and everyday) appropriate. Supplies Base coat and

Monday is usually not one of the best loved day of the week. Back to work and back to the drudgery of life for some! But if you are still preparing for your upcoming wedding, then Mondays are the best days to get things going. Start your week with something to look forward to the weekend. That is why, we asked successful brides-to-be what they do when Monday arrives and here is what most confess doing . This is not necessarily followed in a chronological order but if you must be a successful bride then learn from the rest.   1, MEDITATE Even if you have to get up and prepare for work in the morning, spending some few me-minutes in bed to meditate is a big self-booster for the rest of the week. The advantages of meditation is numerous. For example, most smart brides confessed being better able to see things from a clear perspective and reason objectively on their actions.  So taking time out to reflect on for instance, why you are getting married, the good, the bad and the ugly of  your relationship, how to make things work, how to be happy e.t.c. Of course, this depends [...]

A topknot is to dirty hair what champagne is to a girls' night out: absolutely essential if you want to do it right. If there's a hairstyle that's more of a saving grace on mornings you just can't get it together enough to wash your mane (or afternoons when you've managed to sneak in a lunchtime workout), we haven't found it yet.

Some things just go together… peanut butter and jelly, salt and pepper, leather and lace. OK maybe that last one seems like a bit of a stretch, but stay with us here. We happen to see lace and leather as the perfect marriage of toughness and femininity. And it just

May 12, 2014 is a day I will remember for the rest of my life. We get asked all the time if there was a significance to that day, and the answer is no. It was a normal Monday and we both went to work. Nothing special about that day at all.

While most of the country was watching the Super Bowl (aka Beyoncé's halftime performance) this weekend, some of our readers had front-row seats to beautiful weddings instead. Check out some love-filled photos sent to us by photographers, officiants and the brides and grooms themselves!

In our book, a bright pop of color goes a long way. We love a bold lip or a flashy mani, but some of us are just ready for springtime (whether or not it's ready for us). And with that comes daydreams of soft pink blossoms on trees, floral-printed s...

We’ll admit it…we’re kind of on a glitter kick. Can you blame us? It’s the season of sparkle and it just wouldn’t feel right if our nails weren’t encrusted with caviar or dusted with shimmering snowflakes. Haven’t found the festive look that’s right for you? Don’t worry; there’s a shimmering style for every personality. Today’s […]

It’s December 30th and we can almost hear the bottles of bubbly popping. What’s more, we can see the rose gold bubbles of the brut rosé we’ll be sipping tomorrow night on our fingertips. We’re ringing in the New Year the only way we know how–with a sparkly manicure. Supplies Lancôme Vernis in Love in […]

So, it's that time of year for the best sales right? Well, we have been working hard to gather the BEST deals out there for your holiday shopping as well as some great deals for your wedding! :) Happy Shopping and see you back on Monday morning with a gorgeous elopement from Copenhagen.

For our little cocktail party, we offered our guests the vintage Martinez cocktail as an alternative to our hot rum punch. The Martinez is a nice contrast to the sweet-sour punch: dry, malty, snappy and bold, it let our guests choose between some very different flavors without us having to make a million individual drinks.

Good morning! What a week I've had. I hope yours was less topsy turvy than mine. I started the week with my Sister arriving here from Australia and revelled in that sister-time that I miss so much and ended the week in A & E last night.
