Nail Art News

As you can see, I’ve redesigned the blog. If you’re a reader of my other blogs, you’ll note that the template is the same. I like this template, and I like continuity among my blogs. I’m still working on the colors over here, and I need a better background (thinking either nail polish bottles or nail art on the blue), so I’ll probably be playing with it for the next week or so.

I’m hoping to start posting tutorials for some of my nail art – maybe even with video. We now have a tripod for the camera that will make video and tutorial photos much more feasible. Watch for that as early as next week.

If you look over there in the new left hand sidebar, you’ll see that Nail Art Tuesday is now on Twitter! I’ll update twitter every time there’s a new post here, on Saturday nights when I do my weekly manicure, and whenever else I have something nail art or beauty-related to jabber about (like making moisturizer, or buying new Miche bag covers). You know, girly stuff.

I’m working on putting together a monthly nail art contest for the blog. With any luck, I’ll have it ready to start next week, so the first one will run in September. The prizes will be nail art items, rather than polish…and that’s really just so I can open it up to international readers as well. I’d rather not try to ship polish out of the country to avoid any problems with that, but if you’re wanting some nail art goodies, watch for the contest announcement, probably next Friday (9/4).

I’ve removed comment moderation for now, so your comments should be on the blog almost immediately again. Hopefully the spammers have moved on by now. If you just want to tell me what you think without commenting, you can check one of the handy “Reactions” boxes now underneath each post.

Finally, I’m getting some products in for review in the next few weeks – and I’m pretty excited about trying them and showing them off!

And that’s the news – until next Tuesday, Happy Polishing!

Nails on Twitter

Don't panic! I'll have my weekly nail art post up this afternoon, plus a bonus pedicure post for Thursday this week, both featuring new Zoya fall colors. In the meantime though, a few administrative things:

1. Thanks to all my great followers for following my blog! I've had a busy summer, and haven't had time to get around to all of your blogs yet, but I'm working on catching up with that now. I've designated Tuesdays as my "nail blog" day, so hopefully I'll be commenting again tonight.

2. I've been trying to come up with a new contest that doesn't involve polish for a prize, but rather nail art supplies (so that international readers will be assured of getting packages should they win). I don't want to leave anyone out. So look for that in the next month or so.

3. I'm considering setting up a twitter account solely for Nail Art Tuesday updates and other occasional nail/manicure/pedicure related tidbits. So I'm curious, how many of you have twitter accounts that focus mainly on nail polish/nail art tweets? Or do you work them into your personal twitter account? There's a poll to the right - and if you do have a nail-related twitter account, leave me a comment with your username. Whether I set up a separate account or not, I'm interested in following some nail tweets!

That's all for now - more nail art this afternoon!
