Hello Nail Art lovers!
What a typical girl blog right? But hey, here’s my story...
My love for fancy nails and nail art began when I went for my first manicure
ever which was back when I had my high school prom. Yeah, that late! I only did
a French manicure just like everyone else but I loved not having to look at my
regular short and stubby nails. Then I came to college and I started noticing
all these girls who had their nails done all the time, I thought to myself “damn, I'd love for my nails to look that fab”. I started noticing people with some crazy
nail art and wanted to see if I would be able to pull it off.
One of my friends in my program at the time loved nail art too which is probably what got me more into it. So I bought myself a whole bunch of nail polish. At first, some cheap nail polish I found on sale in shoppers because I thought it didn't matter what brand you got or how expensive it was. Though, I learned that it really does matter! If you're a first time nail polish shopper, I advise that you spend a little bit more on a bottle if you want it to last a lot longer! If you think it’s unnecessary to spend $12 on a bottle of nail polish like I first did, you should look for coupons or get the good ones when they're on sale. Trust me.
Anyways, I started reading nail art blogs and watching all these YouTube tutorials on cool nail art designs. I came across this one design called “newspaper nails” which looked really interesting and I wondered: “how the hell do you do that?!” I really wanted to learn how to do them so I searched it up and figured it out. Turned out, it wasn't even that difficult! The first time I tried it, I couldn't really get my nails look that nice but I kept trying until they were close to perfect. I was pretty impressed and proud of myself because the process took more time than you’d think! Other people also started noticing my newspaper nails and commenting on how cool they thought they looked so I started getting more into nail art from then on.
