In a little while I'm going to be living in the Navajo Nation for a week. I'll be helping build houses. Two of them.

Anyway, this will be me:

I'm in love!

Again.

I'm constantly falling in love with blogs and websites.

As you know.

Enough with this new line business.

Just enjoy this blog.

Here are some of my faves from the recent postings, but everything is solid gold. SOLID GOLD I tell you!

I'm currently pining over all these paper dolls..

Well, they're fabric wall decals!

Ah! I, as many little girls did, loved playing with paper doll dress ups. Especially the ones you could buy from the creepy Doll Museum in Provo. So much fun to be had. And honestly those influenced my thoughts on fashion and beauty much more than movies or magazines.. when I was like 6-10. I still want cute underwear like paper dolls have.

Okay, but seriously I want them.

Alright, so I showcased probably my least favorite nails out there. Now comes the time, my friends, for my the most favorite! Be warned: This post probably should have been broken up into smaller, more "palatable" posts, but alas, 'twasn't.

First things first, if you've any interest in this subject, whether to attempt it yourself, or just sit in amazement at the creativity of these ladies, I'm going to give you a list of great nailspirations I've discovered in the last few days.

SUPA NAILS
Seriously, seriously phemonenal, the Supa Nails Tumblr is run by an illustrator named Susa in Berlin.

LACQUERIZED
This nail polish fanatic really knows her stuff. She gives great tips, links+videos of wonderful tutorials, does side-by-side visual comparisons and reviews of nail polishes and I cannot fathom how on Earth she is so impeccably tidy!

She provides an illustrated step-by-step version of her technique here. I still don't think I could ever do it as well as she does.

Another thing. Nail stamps? I had no idea. Check out her tutorial here. (I wanna get my hands on a houndstooth stamp.)

One of her comparisons.

Holographic nail polish? Whoa. 

A citrine nail polish! I love love love this color right now, although sadly, I'm pretty darn sure if I wore this my pale hands would probably look sickly and gross.

Playing with matte top coats. Matte top coats?! Seriously, my mind is being blown to bits.

EFF YEAH NAIL ART!
(Pardon the less than family friendly language of the title..) I'm finding there's an "Eff Yeah!" tumblr for just about everything! Haha. Tattoos, Nail Art, Sharks.. There's even a search engine dedicated just to them. Anyway, this is a great resource and I've found a lot of great nailspirations here. Including Supa Nails! Browse away my lovelies, browse away...

BURGERS + NAILS
This one's just hilarious.

PS:
INCOCO
This is crazy. I love the French Manicure application video. I used to do French tips all the time. I wonder if it works for shorter nails like mine.  They also have tons of colors and designs here in their shop. Pretty cool. But expensive.


Wooooo. That was a long one. I'm kinda sick of looking at nails now. Hopefully you liked this huge post though! (Sorry to all my male readers.. the approximately 3 of you. I hope ths post is interesting to you as well!)

I'm loving Ikat + Batik textiles. I wish they weren't so expensive so I could get a whole bunch of pillows for my bed!

My little sister told her olders sisters about this website. Thanks Steph!
