First post!

Soooo I decided to do it. To start blogging. I guess I'll start off with a little bit about myself!

I'm Kalen, and I'm currently a sophomore in college studying Psychology and French. I started being really interested in nail art in October 2010, and it's just snowballed since then. Here's a picture of one of the first manis I ever attempted...

March, 2011

You can see how I had never really heard of a bottle hold or cleanup or anything really... I just liked to paint and do art and not really care about anything else. I just kind of did stuff on my own. But then, I started noticing a lot of really awesome blogs of women who post some really amazing work. I started caring more and more about the health and care of my nails outside just doing nail art. I also became more and more addicted to polish! I had no idea how many awesome brands and kinds of lacquers there are out there. I'm really glad I got into when I did, especially with all the amazing frankens and indie brands that are stealing the spotlight.
So, with all of this exposure to the world of nail polish and nail art, I would like to think I've grown a lot.  Here's the mani I'm sporting now for Valentine's Day.

Pointer and pinky: Sinful Colors Boom Boom,  Color Club Candy Cane
Middle: Snow Me White, Be My Valentine, Savage,  Black on Black, all Sinful Colors
Ring: Sinful Colors Snow Me White, 10 Moonlight, Sinful Colors Black on Black
Thumb: Black on Black, Snow Me White, both Sinful Colors
All: Base coat of OPI Nail Envy and topped with Revlon Extra Life No Chip Top Coat
So I'm still not as good as a lot of bloggers out there, but I personally see a lot of progress! I don't have a lot of time or resources to blog too seriously, but I just wanted a place to post the products of my hobby. :] I might do a few posts on makeup or something every once in a while. I'm just going to go ahead and see where this blog takes me!

Thanks for reading! Let me know what you think, and feel free to ask me any questions you might have!

  1. I think I'm your first follower? YAY! :D
    Welcome to the blogging world!
    I like your funky style and you definitely have skills. When I do freehand it looks like I just spilled nailpolish creating a mess. To me, the important thing is not necessarily to be a pro in this or that; but to love, enjoy what you do and have your own style; so readers can identify your work.
