Just before Christmas

6:33 AM
Just the other day, I went back to the Nylon office to film some nail art tutorials, and I'm super happy with the outcome (and the fact that this shot got over 1,000 likes on nylon's instagram account - pretty normal for them, but it's big news for me!). Can't wait till they hit youtube! I'll definitely be leaving you guys a link...

Let it snow

4:09 AM
Alright, so it isn't exactly snowing outside. Though we do have rain right now, so all we need is for it to be past freezing point.. Did my nails while watching the dog whisperer on tv. The initial plan was actually to use my strip tape again, but after much deliberation, I decided to keep it simpler. Pretty excited for tomorrow, for what...

The Christmas Nail

8:17 AM
'Tis the season to be jolly. All those Christmassy designs I've been seeing so far has got me inspired to do this one. Mistletoe is still pretty under-done in terms of nail art (to me, at least). Maybe it's lost it's charm. Come to think of it, I've never actually seen actual mistletoe before.  Regardless, they gave my nails such a neat &...

The Eye & Bone Nail

Besides the fact that my title does not make grammatical sense, my third tutorial is up. Yes, I got really distracted for awhile and forgot about my little project. But like I said, its going to change now that the holidays are here. Plus its the festive season - plenty of reason to deck the nails with glitter and some red and green....

'Tis the season

8:59 AM
When I get stressed out, I usually paint my nails. But believe me, this exam stress got me wanting to do nothing but sleep. My nails were blank for about a week or so while my finals were underway, but now I'm done with all the papers and back to doing what I love.  Too bad we don't get snow here. Decided to...

The Nebula Nail

4:38 AM
My second tutorial is up! I've had a few friends asking me to show them how to do a cosmic design, so here's my answer. The time it takes towly depends on how much of a perfectionist you are really - if you're the type who spends a little more time getting that design done perfect, this may take a longer while for...

The Studded Nail

10:10 AM
Told you my first tutorial would be up soon. Here's the lowdown on The Studded Nail, a quick (seriously) manicure with a rock 'n roll edge. I've had these Bullion beads for awhile now, but never had the patience to try them out. To make sure they don't fall off, I used 3 layers of top coat, and believe me, they're secure. Not...

My first step

7:47 PM
This is it. Today I'm taking my first step toward creating an online presence that's dedicated to nail art and everything that comes with it. It's going to be awhile before everything lifts off, but I'm giving myself no more than 2 weeks to get most of it up and running. Goals set without a deadline are just dreams, so here's my list...
