A New Beginning

Well... after being encouraged by several friends to start my own nail blog, I have decided I will put my fears aside and test it out. I know I am not the best nail artist or the most creative, but I love to try new designs and paint nails!

Let me start off by telling you a little bit about me.

Work: I have been a Registered Nurse since 2009. I currently work in an Emergency Department which is always full of surprises. My hospital, at this point, doesn't seem to really care about nail polish. Several of my co-workers wear shellac/gel polish. I have never had acrylics because those aren't the cleanest things in my line of work and are typically forbidden to have. When dealing with poo, puke, puss, blood or sputum... bacteria under acrylics don't really seem all that bad but whatever...

Personal Life: I am 25 years old. I married my husband in 2010. I LOVE cats. Almost to the point where people wonder what the heck is wrong with me how I could be so awesome. If I could support every lonely kitty that crosses my path I would <3 I am sure I will blog about my animals as well as polish. I have three tuxedo cats named Levi, Sasha, and Zoë. I also have a bumbling black lab named Annie who I have a love hate relationship with. I am sure her antics will make it into my blogging. My husband and I have several fish tanks - (2) 10 gallon tanks, (1) 29 gallon tank, and (2) 55 gallon tanks. My favorite fish is my Clown Knife Fish named Rocky.

Music: Music is a supremely important aspect of my life. My husband proposed to me in the Pink Floyd Exhibit of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I also walked down the isle to Shine on you Crazy Diamond by Pink Floyd. I am a metal head. I am in love with all things Trivium. I love to sing Karaoke and I hear I am pretty good at it. I play some instruments casually but I do not excel at any one thing.

I don't know if I will ever get viewers - after all, this blog is more for me to express my creativity and blow off some steam. Also, for my few friends who truly care about my nail art and life beyond Facebook.

Starting out this blog, I own 209 nail polishes and 15 gel products (Photo is a little old). Yes, I realize that isn't very impressive compared to other bloggers but I am always working to improve my collection. My husband thinks I have 208 too many. I have been trying not to be quite so impulsive with buying everything I like but it is so hard! It just always seems like I never have every single color I "need." :)

I have no idea how often I will be able to blog but I am going to try hard to keep up!
