Hi everyone! So today I would like to share a little nail art that I came up with all by myself! I was sitting at work a few weeks ago toward the end of the day, and then it just hit me! I wanted to do a single neon and single purple chevron with black dots in-between. I went home, painted it, and loved it! Now, I did think of it on my own, but thats not to say others haven't thought of it before. I used Milani Totally 80's and China Glaze Coconut Kiss. You will probably notice that my cuticles are a bit flooded in this look, this is because I was afraid that if I did clean up, I would loose too much of the neon color. If my nails were longer I would have had more space to work with and would have cleaned up, buuuut, since my nails are still in the nub stage, I decided to not do clean up.
Now on to so exciting news! I found a beauty supplier! I always have seen that all the bloggers I admire have a "supplier" and always wanted my own. Well, I was in the town next to where I live a few weeks ago and found a one off nail supply retailer! It looks like a bit of a hole in the wall, but you go inside and its about 6 isles of all kinds of nail supplies. If I remember correctly there are 5 end cap cases about 6 ft tall holding all of the OPI nail polish you could imagine! There were colors I have never seen before, colors from discontinued collections, and the Euro collection that had just come out the day before!!!! And, the owner said if there is any color I want that I don't see, that he can see if he can hunt it down for me!!!!! Im so excited! No more paying $9.00 at Ulta for OPI anymore! This place also has an incredible selection of Color Club and a decent selection of China Glaze. I cant express how excited I am about this! :)

I really love how this came out! It was all done with tape and a dotting tool. |

I am trying to work on my photography, I just bought some new lights and will hopefully try them out today! |

I put this photo up because I am liking the idea of playing with hand positioning. I recently saw a post on Chalkboard Nails blog where she did something like this with her hand and really loved the way it looked. |
