The year was 1999, I was about to have my first experience. Okay, okay, get your mind out of the gutter lol! That year was when I 1st registered with ((((drumroll))) ebay! I guess many of you ask, "How the heck do you remember that?!" Well, part of my ebay username is the age I was in I registered. Yeah, glad I did that. Well the experience wasn't with selling or becoming an Ebay guru or anything like that...It was the first time I discovered the amazing world of nail art! I had no idea of all the things you can do, hence my blog for today.
Well, I have always loved long nails. I am an 80s child, so for the most part, you were doing big things if you wore RED nail polish. Yeah, no designs, nothing fancy, but if you had LONG, "ho" RED (yes, that's what that scarlet red color was called by the women in my family back then lol) nails, you were pushing the envelope. Oh, how times have changed.
I can remember as far back as being about 10 years old and having long nails. My Mom wanted me to learn how to play piano. After going to a few sessions, my piano teacher told me that if I wanted to play well, I would have to trim my nails down. Needless to say, that was the last lesson I attended. I don't regret it, I just wish I had hung in there a little longer. Anywhoo, my Mom would take me to Gibson's ( way before Walgreens, CVS and Rite Aid were "the" drugstores) at least once a month and let me buy some new nail supplies. I would get files, a new polish, hardener, all the essentials. Sally Hansen was (and still is) the business and so my long nail journey began. Fast forward to today and I have discovered so many different kinds of nail art, it is ridiculous! There is no limit! My toddler is tugging at me right now so I can't finish this blog. Put it like this, I am now dabbling in foil nails, stickers, freehand, the elusive Sensationnail gel/shellac nail system, etc, etc! I hope to post pics soon but no promises! :) BE SAFE! :)
