Most of you know that I work from home,
this is great because I have absolute abandon when it comes
to selecting my attire (or not, Hugh Hefner really had something with the 24/7 pajama idea). It also means I'm responsible for not only
showing up on time for work, but staying there all day.
This setup is not for everyone. One of the ways I keep myself occupied at
work between conversations with clients is by painting my nails. I
telecommute, so I'll never see anyone face to face, the fumes from
the polish will offend none but myself. If it bothers my boyfriend,
he's never said so, which means he's perfectly fine with the
tell-tale aroma of creativity. Right?
Water marbling, gradient color, ombre,
konad stamp plates, dotting tools and detail brushes, you name it,
I've used it. Fimo canes and rhinestones have found their way to my
fingertips as well. If I could figure out a way to sport some of the
wild, three-dimensional designs which are so popular in Japanese nail
art and still function throughout the day, I would totally do it.
Someone needs to clue me in to a toned-down version, so if you know
of something, please comment!
In the meantime, please enjoy this
little compilation of some of my amateur attempts at creative nail
coloring. Emphasis on amateur, after all my job does come first!
