ncnstntmoon asked: i looooooooooove your blog! i just finished painting my nails inspired by the tribal photo you posted :3

yaaay!!  that’s so encouraging.  I have been inspired so many times by people, it’s such a pleasure to be able to pass it on to other creative gals.  thanks so much for the shout out, hope the tribal nails turned out well.  :]

currently:  a hall full of girls using my polishes to beautify their mini canvases.  I have been on a summer project with about 40 college students in Pasadena and I brought out about 50 polishes - they have been such a sweet opportunity to serve all of the ladies!  it brings me a lot of joy to see them enjoying what I am so passionate about.  I hope you all can find opportunities to use your paints to please!  love you all.  :]
