For April Fool’s Day, I told everyone I was moving to Tacoma (I’m not) and that I was changing my brand to Tacoma Nail Art. Here is one of the polishes inspired by Tacoma: Tacoma Doma. There are still a few bottles of this polish left, for you die hard Tacoma fans. You see it every day on I-5, now wear it on your fingertips. Click here to check out Tacoma Doma custom nail polish on etsy. Bonus: each order of Tacoma Doma comes with free Tacoma nail decals. Awwwww yeah……

This is pitiful. A thousand people freezing their butts off waiting to worship a rat. What a hype. Groundhog Day used to mean something in this town. They used to pull the hog out, and they used to eat it. You’re hypocrites, all of you!

HAPPY GROUNDHOG DAY!

What are your favorite stores for nailpolish/tools?

Mon, 28 Jan 2013 12:49:13 -0500

I shop regularly at Ulta, Sally Beauty Supply, CVS, and Rite Aid. I get my acrylic paints for all of the nail art I do at Michael’s Craft Store. My nail art brush is from Sally Beauty Supply.

Hi! I wanted to say that I absolutely love your nail art and the little details that you put into it. I was wondering how long it would take to do on average a picture so complicated on one nail... Thanks -Emilie

Mon, 28 Jan 2013 12:47:08 -0500

Thanks so much! More complicated images can take some time, especially portraits. I think the longest I have spent on a nail design is probably 3 to 4 hours. Normally I can do a mani with nail art in about an hour and a half.

Broke my index fingernail and I really didn’t want to file all of my nails down to nubbins. So I added a ‘band-aid’ in hopes that it will grow back quickly. :D Read more on my blog.

Do not turn the page.

We hear there is a MONSTER at the end of this book.

(And we probably do not want monsters on Tumblr now, do we?)
