Nails Inspired by Early Morning Rush Hour from Lauren B.

August 18, 2015 by Juliann

If you live in LA (or don’t) you understand exactly what Early Morning Rush Hour means. It means waking up 2 hours early to go 15 miles, and for the most part that is completely normal. Traffic is a part of LA culture. Unlike many other cities it almost impossible to use another other type of transportation other than a car because of the way the city is spread out. It is not secret information either; in fact it’s something known around the world.

This custom manicure from Lauren B. will have you embracing any Early Morning Rush Hour. 

See below for the step-by-step!

Step 1: Start with the either Lauren B Nail Perfecter or Dual Base/Top Coat. Let dry for 1-2 min.

Step 2: Next apply 1-2 coats of Lauren B. Hollywood Land and let dry for 3-4 min. When that is dry cut small strips of tape in order to create straight lines for your grid and lay them on your nail bed.

Step 3: Now paint the taped nail with Lauren B. LA Smog (You should only need one coat) Let dry for 2-3 min. Once it is dry remove the tape and you will have your grid.
Step 4: Next you will need to grab a small pointed. Apply Lauren B. Coachella Valley Sun to the brush and draw a smooth horizontal and vertical line to the nail bed. Let dry for 1-2 min.
Step 5: Apply Lauren B. Gel-Like Top Coat to finish off your manicure. One of the great things about Lauren B is it dries so fast you won’t be late even with that morning traffic! 
PS: Just in case you were looking for some other fun and easy nail designs, we went a little crazy and came up with 1 or 2 extra… or 5. Enjoy your mani!
Look! I received samples of Lauren B. polish, and although I haven’t yet tried the amazing mani above, I do love my Lauren B. nail polish. It is highly pigmented, dries faster than most other formulas and it lasts a very long time!
My daughter, Kendallyn shows you how to create an adorable manicure using Hollywood Land and LA Smog that you will love. Go to her blog here and see how it is done!

About This Blog

Juliann, founder of Beautiful Moms

Welcome to Beautiful Moms!

Hi! I'm Juliann, wife of 33 years to Jon, a mom to four amazing children, and a proud grandma to five precious little ones. I live in Oregon.

When I started Beautiful Moms in 2008, my goal was to connect with other moms who were also raising young children. It became a creative outlet for me to share my thoughts on motherhood, review products I loved, and work with brands that help make family life a little easier.

More importantly, I wanted moms to feel seen. It's so easy to lose ourselves in the demands of caring for everyone else and forget that our own well-being matters, too. Every mom deserves to feel beautiful, valued, and appreciated, no matter what stage of motherhood she's in.

Over the years, Beautiful Moms has evolved right along with me. My children are now all grown up, and I'm blessed to be a grandma.

Life changes so quickly

One thing that hasn't changed is my passion for encouraging other moms—it's simply expanded to include every season of motherhood—from pregnancy and baby's first years to raising teens, becoming an empty nester, navigating healthy aging, and everything in between.


Myelie, contributor at Beautiful Moms

I'm excited to have my daughter, Myelie, join the Beautiful Moms team as a new contributor. As the mom of a newborn and a busy toddler, she brings a fresh perspective on modern motherhood.

She lives in Alabama with her military husband, so she also understands the unique challenges of military life, frequent moves, and building a happy home wherever life takes you.

We are PR-friendly and love working with great companies!
