The New French Manicure

Stephanie Stone, Nail Stylist
                   
                       On May1st, I attended the Urban Unveiled Bridal Show at the gorgeous Vibiana,
                       presented by California Wedding Day magazine. On the way out I was given a 
                       copy of the magazine and came upon a piece entitled, "The New French Manicure"
                       with this beautiful picture of the look by nail stylist, Stephanie Stone of Nailing
                       Hollywood Management, Inc. She says, " A nude to white ombre nail is chic yet               
                       simplistic enough  to complement your wedding ring without outshining it."  A-men
                       I say to that! Hopefully this will put an end to the squared off and harsh lines of the         
                       ubiquitous, current French manicures.

Two weeks ago, I met Janice and Jason at Maravilla Gardens to shoot their engagement session and lunch. Janice won this session when she attended a Soolip Wedding show in March. It was a beautiful setting for this lovely couple and we went all out for them!  Sarah of Gather Events styled the shoot, Meg Hall of Food By Meg, LLC. made the delicious lunch and Jen O'Sullivan took the gorgeous photos!  They even brought their very cute and well behaved pooch, Fuji.
