You have come so far... You've got so far to go...

I started this humble blog nearly 3-years-ago. Motivated by a love of nail art, a love for Lupe Fiasco and boredom, it has become a nice little online diary...

In an effort to reflect, I was looking back on my old posts and I noticed that I have really come far in my art. I have gone from it just being a hobby that I wasn't very good at to being a sought after licensed manicurist...

I took a break in December but I just started back up doing regular nail appointments this week. Check my work from this past Monday:

She had to go home and put on her rings before she posted a pic on her instagram. Shout out to Mai. She was my very first non-friend or family client!

I have come really far since I started this blog. My art has really improved... But I have so far to go... I'm trying to be like Spif...

Anyway, as always... I will try to post more often but we all know I make that promise often and never actually do it... We'll see though. I've done a lot of nails lately so we'll see... Not that it matters. It's only me reading this.. Lol...

In the meantime and in between time...

Stay classy.

Peace. And much lacquer to you.

Music & Manicures

Four days out of the week I have specific playlists for corresponding days:

Miguel Monday:

TDE Tuesday:

Wu Wednesday:

2Pac Thursday:

The other 3 days in the week are free for all days. So, seeing as how today is Wednesday, I'm listening to Wu-Tang Clan. But it's ALSO Pink Wednesday, which is just as important as Wu Wednesday as far as I'm concerned... In the past, I have combined Wu Wednesday and Pink Wednesday on my nails:

ODB was my favorite member of the clan. May he rest in peace. Check the Wu symbol. I freehanded that. Dope, I know... Lol

Today, though, I restricted the Wu to my headphones and the Pink to my nails:

 I smudged my middle nail right after I applied the Seche Vite. damn Damn DAMN!

Kinda plain. Just an argyle design on a few fingers but I like it. The light pink is a color I made myself. Haven't named it yet though...

As much as I love Wu-Tang, I've been on this Miguel kick since I saw him live last week and I cannot stop listening to him. So I switched out my Wu Wednesday playlist for my Miguel Monday playlist. But since it's Wednesday, and Miguel just so happens to be Blaxican (half Black, half Mexican) I've renamed it (just for today) my Miguel Miercoles playlist...

He visited Power 106 in LA this morning and he sang his single "Adorn" on the spot:

Do you see why I cannot stop listening to him? He is a golden-voiced angel!

Stay classy...

Peace... And much lacquer to you.

Sh*tting on you... Holy CRAP!

That title has absolutely nothing to do with anything... I just LOVE that Kanye West line. Lol!

Anyway, I'm back... Once again...

There really was no reason for my disappearance this time except that I'm just hella lazy and haven't been feeling like posting. I have been so lazy that I have painted several awesome designs and didn't even take pics. I'm a mess... But I still have a lot of pics to post...

Actually, I have been going HARD. I mean... WAY TOO HARD...  I have been to... *counting in my head*... 7 concerts, 2 Niner games, 49er fan day and countless other outside events... I've had sunburn and everything... And all this going to events stuff didn't even really start until May...

But enough about that... It's picture time! Check out the nails I've painted in the last few months:

Sunshine and blue skys on little sis #1. I made every color I used on these nails including the glitter polish... gngB coming soon!

Pink Wednesday and Wu Wednesday make for an awesome dual design...

These chains kept snagging on everything!

Little sis #1 again

Little sis #2

Another Pink Wednesday design...

Little sis #1 always wants some extra elaborate design that she saw somewhere...

Ombre on little sis #2

Little sis #2 is dripping swagu...

Old faithful (leopard) on little sis #1

I love my rings...

We also love stripes around here...

Tie dye is a favorite too... We're some black hippy's...

Kinda blurry but you get it... BAM!

Tribal on little sis #2...

We also love tribal around here...

Little sis #1 wanted red bottoms...

She loves abstract designs and Swarovski crystals...

Yet another Pink Wednesday... Dont trip off the bandage. If you frequent this blog you know I am always injuring myself in one way or another... Aren't my rings dope?!

I know these look like the fingers of a child, but they are not. They are my sorority sister's hands and she has bitten her nails down to nubs... Shameful...

Graduation nails for another sorority sister. So proud of her!

Tribal, once again...

I have done way more nails than you see here but I don't always take pictures. I really need to be more diligent about that. But yeah, there you have it... What I've been up to for the past few months...

I know I always say I'm back and I promise to be more regular with my postings but I know myself well enough to know that this may or may not happen so I will just say this:

See you when I see you...

Stay classy.

Peace... And much lacquer to you.
