Petit Nail Diary

I've been so busy this month! Is it because the 7 month ghost festival is over and now everybody is getting married/has a wedding to attend/has a wedding photoshoot. After the ghoul-y festivities, its celebration for the humans. hehehe.

I've also been getting myself obsessed with all things fafi. I love the idea of carmine vault. So quirky, and I've copy-drawing her fafinettes too! Will post some pics of them up here. Something random, I love the smell of colour pencils. The fresh, woody scent that is released when i open my box of pencils.

I was an art student back in school and did much painting, drawing and sketching, but when I started doing nails, the only things I've been drawing on at all are nails. People like my sister have constantly been urging me to draw more often, take out those paints and squish some pigments from time to time. Too busy, (or lazy) it think. I'm starting to feel like I've allowed my art education in Nafa and lasalle go to a complete waste. I love holding my brushes and my pencils, and my willow charcoal, but I've been completely neglecting these things i love to do. I'm starting to get back into it, I've started to go back to my beloved Art friend, hanging out there on my days off, soaking and basking in all the beautiful art materials they have to offer. Rows and rows of beautiful paints, pastels, markers in all colours on the spectrum. Stacks of lovely drawing paper and canvas in all textures, weight, primed, un-primed. It's almost, poetic. I love art stores.

You should visit an art store too if you can. It's therapeutic. For me at least it is.

Ok going to sign off. I'm exhausted from work today.

Much love,
Nail Guru
