I have a confession to make... I am obsessed with doing my nails. When I was hone in the U.S. I did my own nails in Florida because it was alot cheaper to do my nails at home then go to a salon. Plus I've still got a scar on my foot from 2005, where a so called manicurist was doing my foot and cut it with the razor scraper. It's safer and cheaper for me to do it at home. In Korea I thought I would get a mani and pedi every weekend. Not the case. There aren't as many nail places here as in America. So I've taken to the do it yourself method. Sure at first it was a nail polish here and there because it's cheap one dollar or two. But as many of you know I love colors. All kinds of color and I love having choices. One small box expanded into a small box and a medium box. Then I discovered nail art stamps. You paint your nails and put a fast drying polish on this mold, scrape away the excess, transfer the design with a rubber thingy. It's cool for people who can't draw tiny intricate figures or have airbrushing at home. A little before my discovery of this I was at Tina's boyfriends bar CLUB PSYCHO a great place to relax and have a cheap drink (gotta help out with promotion) I met a girl named Inae who is going to school to be a manicurist. She's a really sweet girl and she even did Tina's nails there at the bar. Her and I chatted about nail things and a couple weeks later we met at CLUB PSYCHO again. She gave me some crazy long tips and a nail file for them to play around with. She had learned how to do tips in class and had an abundance of tips. Yay for me. Sooo Inae has this box for her nail supplies. I thought I should get one also to be organized. I tried to order one but the order didn't go through. So this time I ordered an art box and would design in myself. Needless to say I got the box put my stuff in annnd I have one big box and a smaller box for the cotton squares and nail polish remover and some other items. Without further ado my obsession ladies and gents.
