cheesewhisker asked: Hey I just wanted to know where you get your nail art supplies?

Like my brushes? The ones I use most I got off of Amazon. They are part of the MASH Nail Art brush kit, with something like 15 brushes in it for 10 dollars. Amazing deal for surprisingly really nice quality brushes. As for like rhinestones and studs and glitter and all that, most of it is either from bornprettystore.com or ebay. 

turnaround-and-runaway asked: Hi! I was just wondering what product you use to remove nail polish from your nails and brushes. Do you know a more efficient method other than just nail polish remover and a cotton ball? And in a post a while ago I saw you say you used pure acetone to clean your brushes, but I'm a bit concerned about using it because it's pretty powerful. I love your nail art by the way!

For removing from my nails, I use Zoya Remove Plus, which is a little expensive but SOOOO worth it. I get it in the huge 32oz bottles now and I can’t use anything else because it’s just so wonderful. Removes polishes just as well as pure acetone, but isn’t nearly as drying. Also doesn’t smell completely awful. 

For cleaning my brushes I do use straight up acetone because that’s what gets them cleanest. I have a video on how I clean those if you wanna check it out! It’s definitely powerful, but I haven’t had too many problems with it, honestly, and your brushes are gonna get a lot of wear and tear regardless of what you use, so I don’t think it’s too big of a problem. Thanks!

TUTORIAL!! And don’t mind the extra-long intro. Mr. Dash was being needy. 

Tutorial time! Just filmed the video on these pretty babies, so if you wanna know how I paint these check my YouTube later today!

Uhh idk about these. I think I like them, just not on myself. I gotta say though, the best use I’ve found for OPI pirouette my whistle is making snow. It’s destiny, or something.

Trying to have happy thoughts
 
It is true I cried reading the blog
of my tenth grade best friend
and her story about the horse
and how it calmed her down
but I remembered her spraying
pieces of a board game across the floor
because she hadn’t won and
I couldn’t say why the picture of her
in rain boots and a frumpy skirt
made me miss her and why
a letter written to her future self would
elicit such emotion that I felt acid and
 
It is true the last time we spoke
she was behind a cash register
and both our lips were pursed
and she folded and refolded
the same jeans at least five times
before placing them with utmost care
but I remember her smile hadn’t changed
and she still pushed her tongue
against the backs of her teeth so that pink
peeked through the gaps and
 
It is true I remembered the time
she tried on my bra because
she said it belonged
to a doll and she laughed and
I laughed too but I didn’t
and maybe what she wrote
about Scorpios dealing with pain
has something to do with it
because I wasn’t born in November
but really
I’m just trying to remember
what there is to miss.

Anonymous asked: Please post more of your poetry. The recently posted one is hauntingly beautiful and so incredibly vivid. I like how relatable it is without being overtly so. Kudos. Post more?

Thank you so much! I will for sure. I’ll just make sure I put enough nail stuff in there so people don’t get too bogged down with my writing haha. :) this message was much appreciated.

Oh hey! I did my own nails too. Love this deep deep teal, Essie go overboard. And bows. Bows are fun. Bows are good to distract from the mental pain that is two final exams in one day… Ugh.

More friend nails! Mattified glitters with shiny tips. Simple but perfect when you want something a little more simple thanks @caitsbaits6 !

If you can’t tell, I’m painting lots of friend nails before we go on winter break. I wasn’t sure about these until I added the glitter topcoat and they became magical. Thanks for loaning out your fingers to me @kmacforeman

Took a break from work today to paint the nails of the lovely ladies that work at the writers house! Love them. Also they got me lunch so it was a win win win situation.
