Aaaah All Settled Down

The guilt has been killing me not writing here for the last 2 months - but I have been crazy busy since starting full time with b5media a few months ago, and then I decided to move Nail Tech Secrets to a new host and transfer the domain. What a nightmare, but the nightmare is over. I am settled in to my new home, where I will stay until they don’t want me anymore. :)

What I really want to say, other than just plain ol’ whining is that my dear friend Elke pointed out a relatively new site, All Lacquered Up, who is doing an AMAZING recount of nails at Fashion Week. She has too many posts to link them all up, but go there now (now!) and check it all out while it is neat and tidy on her front page. I am busy buying shoes and underwear, and she is such a great nail blogger, covering those shows. I am humbled by her passion and look forward to reading All Lacquered Up for a long time to come, and I hope you will as well. :)

Adieu

In light of recent events – in particular, at the most recent New York Fashion Shows for Spring 2007 – we feel it is in our best interest to dissolve our relationship with Coutorture. We wish them the best of luck.

A fashionista does beautiful feet

Give yourself a pedicure!Julie, at Almost Girl, struggled a bit with freshening up her toenails over the weekend. She just is not as tuned in as I am to the notion that these details are really important! However, she said this in her post from over the holiday weekend, leading me to believe that her struggle with the details of beauty as a whole is very voluntary (*wink*):

[…]you can carefully discern a person’s class from that state of their cuticles, thus even the scruffiest Misshapes hipster girl will reveal her trust fund status with her freshly manicured fingers.

Now this quote - I can bet dollars to doughnuts that I have heard it verbatim from my best girlfriend. Well, she probably didn’t say “Misshapes hipster girl,” but she certainly said dreadlock-wearing, noodle-dancing, neo-hippie chick. Whatever the decade or the type of gal, it all means the same. If you want to look like a person with a bit of sense about them, much less a dollar or two in your pocket - pay attention to the details. And for petes sake, paint your toenails!
