Me!! Oh my gosh, you guys. Thank you so much for the love and support over the years. I adore you all.
I’m overwhelmed to be voted Favorite Nail Blogger in the first ever Marie Claire Most Wanted Beauty Awards and, as cliche as it sounds, I was thrilled just to be nominated by the MC beauty editors.
Marie Claire Most Wanted Beauty Awards - Favorite Nail Blogger
I was up against so stiff competition so if it wasn’t for all of you, I never would have won so THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
The rest of the winners are up on MarieClaire.com/MostWanted2013 and in the October 2013 issue (with Vanessa Hudgens on the cover), on stands now. I snagged a copy at Target on Sunday (picking up some #PhillipLimforTarget goodies). Am I total dork for wanting to buy a backup?

Behind The Scenes – The Making of FingerPaints “A Pair Affair” by All Lacquered Up
Let me tell you a little story. Like the making of a movie, I’m taking you behind the scenes to show you how the FingerPaints A Pair Affair nail polish collection came to be. I know I love a good DVD Extras section so I thought you would enjoy seeing how all of this came to fruition.

File Under: Are We Really Doing This? – Cuticle Tattoos
When it comes to nail adornment, I’ve seen a lot of “unique” things. Remember nail piercings (which apparently Kylie Jenner is trying to bring back from the ’80s)? Or that nail ring I spotted on Kim Kardashian at NYFW? What about nail polish AS rings, like the ones butter LONDON created for Vena Cava.
More recently, Karl Lagerfeld took the knuckle ring craze up a level when he created nail bands for the Chanel F/W 2013/14 Haute Couture runway. I can barely keep knuckle rings from slipping off my fingers. How in the WORLD do you function wearing those?
Now, RAD Nails has upped the nail art ante with the introduction of Cuticle Tattoos. As if the nail bed wasn’t canvas enough, they are moving design to the skin and cuticle with their line of water decals. With four shapes to choose from, including black and red drips (not shown), the decals can be worn on the skin or nail itself. There’s a great example with the drips on NaitItMag.com.

I’ve used water decals in the past, mainly Cleveland Browns-themed ones for games (Go Browns!), but wearing them on my cuticle is probably a bit much for my taste.
What say you? Would you try these? Are we, as a nail community, really doing this??
RAD Nails Cuticle Tattoos retail for $6/ea for a set of 12 decals. Available at RADNails.com.
