Fruit nails: Kooky Kiwi

So I entered this Sally "It's So Easy," nail art challenge! 

The theme was Summer, and the design had to convey summer, originality, and difficulty.
I chose to go with the Kiwi design, because of the fruits I tried, it hadn't been done this way, and it looked pretty good.

To give myself an even playing field, I put on long nails for the day. Haha I seriously CANT type in these things! they keep getting stuck in the keyboard!

My sister Jaemi took these for me. Thanks Jams!!

I did a full manicure, only to read the rules again and see that only one nail was allowed!

 So here's a couple of those shots.

I'll let you know what happens, but honestly, I'd be THRILLED to win one of the 20 fourth place prizes. Wouldn't that rock?!

First stop: Nail Blog

Rose Trellis. A rose design on pale mint. Perfect for Spring or Early Summer.

This is my brand spanking new nail blog. I follow so many, and am more than a little obsessed my nail polish, so I figured I might as well take pictures and write about it, instead of boring my male co-workers with talk about it. They call nail polish my "crack." I have so much nail polish it doesn't fit into one bag anymore. I need to get one of those organizers thingies for it.

Neon Sunset. Bright, bold stripes that make me feel like I'm on vacation when I'm working.

I'm not the most original nail blogger, but I've certainly got lots of enthusiasm. I have super short nails, as I'm a working violinist, and have to keep my nails short. but that has never stopped my love of fantastical polishes!
Hopefully my skills will progress along with this blog.
My next post will be on Sunday, where I will show my recent nail polish haul, and do a few reviews.

Hugs and kisses,
Suz
