I have a little short and sweet post for you: about how hard it is to come up with nail designs that top the prior designs. A few weeks ago I was browsing through Instagram (usually a bad thing), and saw the most beautiful manicure. So simple, one colour, no nail art, no gems, no…
How long does it take you?
Hello my fellow nailophiles! I have been MIA for such a long time, it’s not even cool. Quite frankly it’s been a combination of many changes happening in my life at once (new job, new courses to study for, new apartment), and also.. that it’s hard to find motivation sometimes when you don’t know if…
Inspiration Comes From Where?
It feels like it’s been so long since I last posted anything! I’ve been so busy with a new job and finishing some job related courses that I’ve barely had time to breathe. But I’ve definitely had time to do my nails! A few things are happening in the nail world and one of the…
Ship In a Bottle Phenomenon
You know those tasks that people generally think are super tedious and not a lot of people understand why anyone would do them? Tasks like building a ship in a bottle, a 10,000 piece puzzle, or complicated nail art. The end result seems cool (but maybe not cool enough); getting there, however, is simply too…
Crystals and Wild Nails
Hello nailophiles! It’s been quite some time since I last posted, I have been super busy with work and other random stuff, but my nails have most def been getting the attention they deserve. I recently (“recently” as it was in January) dipped my toes, and then fully plunged as with everything I do, into…
Apres Nail Gel X
A while back I promised a short review about the new nail extension system Gel X by Apres Nail. I wanted to review it as soon as I got it, but realized it would be best to review it after I had been using it for some time so I could get a real sense…
Art is art. I am an artist.
Hello lovelies! Today I wanna share a little bit about myself, my process, and my feelings about nails. I was thinking about art today as it applies to my incursion into nail art. I have always loved art. I especially loved painting and drawing, practicing it after school and on weekends. Growing up I wanted…
Let’s talk salons!
Hello my lovely nailophiles! I hope the beginning of the year is treating you well. I have started mine with a bang, I have tried my Apresnails Gel X kit twice and I’m loving it. I will try to review it at some point in the next few weeks, but wanted to write about something…
Happy 2018!
Hello nail lovers! It is a new year and with it come lots of opportunities for growth and learning. How exciting! I have such an amazing year planned ahead! But first, some updates: I had another nail casualty so I decided to cut them all short and start from scratch! I am taking hair/nail vitamins,…
Happy Holidays nail lovers!
I have just returned from a much needed visit to my family back in El Salvador and Guatemala, and I’ve enjoyed the holidays immensely (I know they are still happening!), but I figured I’d check in with anyone who might be reading this! First things first.. I broke 3 nails! It was horrible! I had…
