Nail Art…Really

Still unpacking! Moving is way harder than I thought. Hopefully soon, I’ll have a tunnel through the boxes to the new polish room!  In the meantime, I wanted to share some crazy nail-related art pieces. Click each photo to visit the original article at NAILS Magazine that featured each piece.

These peacock sculptures are made of nail tips! Crazy!

Venique Pump Up the Jam

I’ve seen the Venique brand for awhile now at Cosmoprof, but it wasn’t until I saw the mini packs that it seemed worth it to give it a shot. I bought a four pack of their summer collection, Desire to be Desired. My kit (called Colors of Desire) contained Havanah Glam, Pump up the Jam, Side Walk Surfer and Galoshes Glow. Now let me tell you…these minis are MINIs. No full size brush here. Lots of effort to polish your nails with this trial size, but I managed.

Today I have a swatch of Pump up the Jam, a pretty pinky pink. I’m not sure why I don’t have more pinks like this. They look nice on me and I can wear them to work, which is even better. Pump up the Jam went on smooth. I immediately noticed a cool iridescence about it…a lavendar shimmer in some light. I really like it. I’d call it a sophisticated bubble gum pink!
