About

Nail art is tacky. Except when it's not. Then it's awesome.

I don't grow my nails three inches long, or sharpen them into points, or get acrylics shaped like shovels. I don't glue rhinestones to them, or feathers, or sequins, or small household objects. I don't paint realistic miniature portraits on them, or bible verses, or a collection of corporate logos that represent my personality.

I have short nails because I work with my hands. I like to put polish on them, because then I don't bite them. They chip frequently so I change my polish often. Hence the blog.

You know how you can take pretty much any time consuming, money-sucking hobby or obsession and start a blog about it- and then suddenly it seems like a totally worthwhile and justifiable activity? Yup. That's pretty much what's going on here.
