April’s gold manicure — my third with Sally Hansen Salon Effects nail polish strips — didn’t last as long as my previous Sally Hansen manicures, so celebrity manicurist Tracylee Percival gave me a new look sooner than expected. The “” strips are holding up nicely. Three out of four ain’t bad! I’m enjoying this look….

Sally Hansen Manicures by Tracylee Percival
When celebrity manicurist Tracylee Percival gave me a manicure with Sally Hansen Salon Effects nail polish strips in March, the design lasted for two weeks. I was impressed. Like Minx, another long-lasting nail product, there’s no drying time for the strips. Unlike Minx, no heat lamp is needed to seal the product to the nails….
A Sally Hansen Manicure and Cat Scratch Fever
When I made an appointment with celebrity manicurist Tracylee Percival this week, I warned her that several of my nails were so badly broken that they weren’t suitable canvases for one of her artistic gel manicures. I thought the stubby nails weren’t going to be worth much more than clear polish, but Tracylee cheered me…
March’s Manicure by Tracylee Percival
My last Gelish manicure by celebrity manicurist Tracylee Percival lasted two weeks to the day without a crack or chip! Amazing. When I used regular polish in my pre-Tracylee days, I couldn’t get through 48 hours without a chip. The long-lasting “Vanity Fair” purple-and-black nail design finally gave up the ghost yesterday. I couldn’t decide…
Latest Manicure by Tracylee Percival
Every time I get my nails done by celebrity manicurist Tracylee Percival, I think, “This is my favorite manicure, ever.” Then the next one is even better than that! Tracylee never disappoints. This is my latest favorite. Tracylee did this with long-lasting Gelish colors Star Burst and Black Shadow. She layered purple glitter over…
“Silver to the Third Power” Manicure by Tracylee Percival
Celebrity manicurist Tracylee Percival and I always name the manicures she gives me, and this one is called “Silver to the Third Power.” Tracylee’s concept was silver on silver on silver. The bottom layer is a gunmetal Minx application. She covered that with clear, long-lasting nail gel, then sprinkled silver glitter on. Finally, she added…
“Winter Solstice” Manicure by Tracylee Percival
After quite a few Minx manicures, I told celebrity manicurist Tracylee Percival that I was ready to get back to nail art. She suggested glitter for the holiday season. We’re calling this look “Winter Solstice.” The bottom layer is Star Burst by Gelish. Tracylee added turquoise, blue and purple glitter, as well as a few…
“Well, Holo There!” Mani/Pedi by Tracylee Percival
Celebrity manicurist Tracylee Percival named my new holographic nail designs “Well, Holo There!” For the toes, she did two layers of Minx: a silver holographic layer with a silver lace pattern over it. As with my last pedicure, it was difficult to dissuade Henry the dog from “helping” with the photography. Here’s a better look….
Nero Portoro Manicure by Tracylee Percival
Here’s my latest gel manicure by celebrity manicurist Tracylee Percival. Tracylee used Gelish colors Black Shadow, Sleek White and Allure. We’re calling this look “Nero Portoro” after a kind of black marble mined in Italy. Here’s another shot of the nails with my hashtag ring. All you Twitter addicts need that ring! Speaking of Twitter,…
First Glimpse: Memento Mori Ring in Silver
Here’s an iPhone photo of my first Memento Mori ring in silver. As you can see, my “47th Street” manicure by Tracylee Percival is holding up pretty well a week after I got it. I’ve lost a couple of nail jewels but have held on to the majority of them. Tracylee set the jewels in…
