"Reinvention"

I decided to participate in The Lacquer Legion’s “Reinvention” theme for January. I think one of the most traditional manicures is the French tip and a common twist on any  manicure is to have an accent nail, so why not combine the two??



I used:
Maybelline Solon Expert “Rock N Black”
Nicole by O.P.I. “Selena”
Sinful Colors “Snow Me White”



I look forward to seeing what themes The Lacquer Legion has in store for us.

My Stash


Ok, let me start by saying I have no idea what I’m doing, hahaha. I am not a writer, I don’t know the first thing about blogging, I’m not a girlie girl and I’m starting a blog about nails. What I do have is a creative mind so let’s see how far I can get on that alone!



I decided to start with some photos and descriptions of all the polish related stuff I have so far.
Without further adieu…


1. Nail art pens
2. Toothpicks and cotton swabs
3. Polish remover—acetone and non-acetone
4. Nail Files
5. Dotting tools, sharpies, ink pens, and polish correcting pen
6. Orange sticks
7. Toe separators
8. Tape
9. Scissors, nail clippers, cuticle pusher/cutter, and nail glue
10. Color wheels and chart
11. Hole reinforcement stickers
12. Striping tape
13. Stamping plates and tools
14. Sponges
15. Cotton pads
16. Nail art brushes
17. Nail art stickers




I have 130 polishes as of today, but every time I’m near polish that is for sale I buy more, so that number is only temporary! I have a Google doc to track what I have. OCD I know, but I don’t buy doubles! Feel free to check it out here.




My clear coats (base& topcoats).




 I have some water based paints I bought for my daughter, I just can’t paint her nails until she keeps her hands out of her mouth! (She is only 7 months old so I’ll just have to wait!)



I also bought a gel kit at Sam’s Club, but have not tested it out yet.

(not my photo)



These are my supplies, I will add stuff and explain how I use the tools as I use them.
Can’t wait to start sharing my mani adventures with you!
