The Post-It Queen
11:59:00 PMNo nails, just a talking, tl;dr post. :)
I always have a million manicure ideas running through my head, but when I sit down to actually paint my nails, I can't remember any of them. Enter today the post-it note. This was the first time that I've actually written/drawn out my ideas ahead of time. Usually when I sit down to do a mani, I paint test swatches on a paper plate.
Time after time I just frustrate myself doing so. I sit waiting for my test swatches to dry, and in the end I get too exhausted and do not feel like painting my nails. Or my all time favorite, I paint a full manicure on, and then look at it, absolutely hate it, and immediately take it off. Not only am I wasting my polish by doing this, I'm wasting my time, energy, and nail polish remover. Then I look at the clock and it's 1am and I have naked nails.
tToday while I was bored at work, I started doodling random designs with a Sharpie on post-it notes. After a few random swirls, hearts, and stars, I thought to myself "I should totally draw out some mani ideas!" Once that started, I was unstoppable. And the result.....
- I doodled a bunch of mani ideas on post-it's. I'm now the post-it queen.
- If you have your own ideas that you want to personally try, seriously draw them out...so much easier.
- If you have any ideas of nail art you want me to try, comment on my Mani Ideas page.
- Thank you all for your continued support of my blog and nail art :)

Love it! So glad I connected with you and enjoy following your blog and your success! Xo
ReplyDeleteIf you're the queen I'm definitely the princess. I can't walk into an office supply store without practically having to drag myself past the post-its so I don't buy them all. I bought a HUGE pack at costco forever ago and I still haven't used them all but I just obsessively love post-its. :) And I draw my nail designs out, too. Usually in my journal. I keep all these ideas, and then NEVER do them. Seriously, I think I've done like 2 out of whoknowshowmany that I've drawn out. o.O
ReplyDeleteI'm really glad you followed me on Twitter so I could find your blog. I love meeting new bloggers. They're my favorite. :) I wanna connect with everyone and find a clique to come up with and be the new wave of elite nail bloggers. ;p Big dreams. ;)
