So now that I have laid out my abysmal expectations of this blog, here is a little back story. As I have gotten older, like most women, I found a strange thing happening where I became more comfortable with who I am on the inside, while losing who I think I am on the outside. What I mean is before I knew it, I couldn't wear the same size, type, or style of clothes. So, I started to really focus on things that made me feel beautiful and not just what the newest trends or cover models dictated. And anyone who knows me knows that this usually translated into footwear. But as of late, there has been a new obsession- beautiful natural fingernails.
How does it get classifed as an obsession? Well, it started to dawn on me that this might be the case when when a friend told me that she thinks it's funny that she can recognize my hands on her facebook feed before even seeing my name. Then, I further affirmed the issue when I found myself checking out other girl's digits just as much as their shoes. It was stamped bonafide, when the hubs had to patiently wait on our way out of Denny's as I had to finish giving a full blown tutorial with the girl that checked me out. It is just that as I learn new techniques, find new products, or try out a new trend, I want to share the knowledge.
So, here I am starting this blog to share some of my ideas, experiments, failures, successes of the nail polish world with you. I have been using my finger nails as little expressions of my personality for some time now and I am hoping this will encourage or inspire you to do the same. So whether it is a crazy shade that is out of your normal color pallette, those nail polish strips that seem a little crazy with all those patterns or a shellac manicure- DO IT! Give it a go. And if you don't want to spend the money or time, it's okay, just stick around for free as I will eventually hit on all of these because I have done them all!
Since this blog thing alone exhausted me for today, I will not be digging into anything new with you today. However, I will leave you with a teaser. I plan to do water marbling again this week and will be taking pics along the way. This way I can not only show the end result, but how to get there! My first every attempt of water marbling happened two days ago. I love it! (see the picture below)
For your Fingertips, At your Fingertips!
