The thing is...

Nail polish/art lovers have one thing in common.  The overwhelming and obsessive need to  buy more and more nail polish.  And we don't always remember what colors we have so we end up with doubles (sometimes triples-hey...we REALLY liked that color!)  I have just begun my collection and already have over 120 polishes, not including my 25 stripers.  I also have about 80 acrylic colors, plus another 40 acrylics for canvas painting....which I haven't even started to use on nails although that day is coming very soon.  Oh the colors I could make! 

So that being said, storage becomes an issue, especially when you have had other obsessions in the past (like hairbow making-resulting in four double ribbon racks that are all full plus some), jewelry making (resulting in 10 full bead trays and more), tutu making (resulting in a large bin of tulle that lives in my closet)....That is just the beginning.  Crap!  That just gave me another idea!  haha....

My poor husband...  we'd better win the lottery because my collections are going to need a bigger house!

I've always been a beauty product fiend....but more recently, my love of everything nails has somewhat taken over.  I'm a crafter....more specifically I have crafters ADD.  I can't stick to one thing for too long or I get bored.  But painting is something I have loved for a long time now.  I have two little ones (3 and 5) and pulling out my canvases, easel and paints is a chore, that normally ends in me being too tired to actually be inspired.  So I turned to my own ten little canvases and discovered a whole new world of painting.

I am going to apologize for the quality of my pictures.  I stared with taking them on my phone, and even my camera leaves something to be desired, but I will do the best I can.  I am always looking for ideas and inspiration, so if there is something you would like to see, let me know!  Here is a bit of picture spam to introduce what I do....  













I have more pictures to share and have an etsy store selling hand painted nails, but I will get to that.  For now, I'm off to figure out how to make this blog pretty!!!  I haven't been on here in ages and blogger has changed quite a bit!  Hope you enjoy!
