A New Focus for My Blog!

Since my store, Posers Gallery, closed it's doors Dec. 31st, I have been helping my daughter get ready for her upcoming course as an Esthetician at MC College.  Really I went on the internet, initially through Pinterest (which is a fantastic source of information!!), to learn about nail design.  Since I have gel nails and really enjoy watching my technician do her creative work, I have been getting more and more excited about trying nail art myself.  So I thought why not add an artistic flair with nail polish to my Blog!  Glass art is very exciting and I still have a wonderful course coming up in March with Robert Leatherbarrow.  But I thought during this time when my daughter will become nail proficient, I will show some form of solidarity with her learning and change up my blog to contain my nail art design from self learned methods.  In other words, I will try to do as many nail art designs that I have found on Pinterest and other nail polish blogs and show them off here on my blog!

So since Valentines is this week, here is my first attempt at a nail art design from what I've learned so far.  I used China Glaze Sugar High as the base coat and then Nicole by OPI Believe it, Do it as the middle and little fingers' hearts.  Then Colour Club art club white for the white horizontal line.  I stamped Konad M-73 for the hearts as the french tip.  My clean up wasn't very good so I'll try better next time.  But I've had compliments from checkout clerks, so I guess it was acceptable.  Despite it all, I had fun trying out nail pens, polishes and stamping!
