Nail Couture

My totally fabulous and awesome manicure is no more ;( It began to chip away after two weeks but that is a brand new record for me! And with all of the job interviews I had recently I had to go for a more toned down look anyway. Isn't it silly that ten differently painted nails are somehow inappropriate? They're just nails! I chose the brightest red I own then had a little fun with it because solid color doesn't cut it for me anymore.

I also have to talk about these fun rings I won in Gazel of Bonjour Gazel's giveaway! I keep saying "I never win things!" but it's become a lie since I've won two giveaways now plus all of the awesome Scotch freebies last month.




Though I really like the 4 finger ring, it didn't fit me quite right. My poor little pinky looked ridiculous so I decided to use my soldering iron and pull that sucker apart. Thirty seconds later and I've got a whole other ring to add to the lot.


Thanks Gazel :)

My next post is gonna be a doozy! I've just finished putting together a nail polish rack and I'm super excited to share it with you, I just need finish up the tutorial.

    I'll post the rack tutorial as soon as I'm done embellishing it, which is actually taking a lot longer than I'd anticipated!

    Hah, just the polish, not the rings! I know people are forgiving of creatives but I doubt a 4 finger skull ring would be ok!

    I'll post a tutorial for the nails soon, but it's really super easy, you just use tape!
