this past weekend i met with the lovely people that bring us Migi Nail art pens. i got to do some demos with them and get out of town for a couple days. it was lots of fun! more on that in the future but for now, (even though today is officially my day off) i am pulling in posts that are spread out over the interwebs. stuff from twitter, facebook and wherever. the pictures are spread out over different apps and this way they can be all neatly tucked in one place. they are from 2010 mostly so go back into the archives and flip through the posts for a look :)

AND WE'RE LIVE!!! plus vintage Hard Candy notd

here are some photos:

and now, NOTD: vintage Hard Candy in Serendipity
thanks for looking!
Hard Candy in yellow
wow! 10 followers! yay! welcome welcome new followers of the blog! thank you so much for coming along for the ride. it males me very :) and when i am very :) i make more nail polish!
camera battery is charging and once i get some half-decent pictures of the colors i bottled yesterday i am going live. that means things will be available in the shop. like for sale. for reals. TODAY! i am determined to have at least some of the t&h signature listings go live today.
while i tidy things up, here's a comparison shot of Hard candy yellow old & new (since Splendid was my last mani).
the original Taxi on the right and the newer Splendid on the left.
they did a good job duping the original i think
here's a not so great shot of me wearing Splendid.
here's two coats under a daylight bulb. it's streaky but that could probably be fixed with some thinning. i just haven't bothered. yellows are hard. hard to make, hard to wear but they are so fun & bright!
i tossed on Kleancolor Chunky Holo Black after a day or two of wear
yellow is a big color for nails this season. try it as a base for Konad or nail art if you think it's too much alone or sport it on the toes with a subtle sparkle or glitter coat!

June 2011 update
Howdy nail polish enthusiasts!
wow. there is so much to do to prepare even a small shop like mine to go live! i knew from the start it would be tons of work but it turned out to be even more involved than that. Any how, no excuses. it’s been a fun ride so far and i look forward to the journey ahead. i will keep working on finding a balance between my work life and business life, updating the blog consistently and getting better at the photography. in the meantime, i have added some colors to the t&h shop, continue to add info to the shop pages, and i am CONSTANTLY researching new product trends and sourcing products. that’s what most of the quiet time is about. behind the scenes, it’s all phone calls and emails and purchase orders. sounds boring but well, i quite enjoy it!
so about those product updates, the listings are up but not live. pictures have to be taken and swatches have to be swatched. there will be a presale time period where each bottle will be made to order. So anything marked “PRESALE” has to be custom made before it can be shipped out. as for the China Glaze holos (Kaleidoscope and OMG) the hold up is the pictures. if you are familiar with these colors than you know or at least have read online about how hard they are to represent on screen. and that’s what’s happening at t&h!
here’s a NOTD for ya
