So, according to Glamour magazine (where I get a lot of my important information), fancy nail art is in.
Here is the article with some various tips.
I have news. This is not NEW news. This is like, when, say, 8 years ago, there were articles about flare leg jeans being in style. Maybe it was a current, accurate statement, but there was nothing 'first' about it. Back in high school (which was, ahem, a few years ago), I did nail art ALL the time. I painted ladybugs, rainbows, hearts, flowers, and butterflies on my nails quite regularly. (Editor's note: please keep any commentary on what you, dear readers, think I might have been like back in high school to yourself.)
I used paintbrushes that I cut down to a very thin size (so there were only a couple bristles of hair left) for the fine line necessary for the detailing. People would compliment my nails all the time - even strangers. Does anyone who knew me back then have pics of this? And by anyone, I mostly mean mom. And by pics of this, I mean my nails, not people complimenting me - although that's something I'd like documented as much as anything.
Anyhow. Although the nail art is fun, it is time consuming and the end result doesn't last for long. Does anyone know anyone who actually DOES the fancy nail polish designs on her own nails? Most of my friends don't even do their own nails - they get manicures. If anyone knows of anyone sporting nail art - please submit a pic to this blog. Otherwise, I will walk around thinking I am the only one, or, at least, was the only one back, ahem, a couple years ago.

This is not at all related to nail art, but I'm curious to get your take on this article about internet dating (since you're someone who has blogged off and on about this topic). I've never done internet dating or signed up for one of these sites, so I found the article particularly informative (esp. the explanation of the websites' algorithms and methodologies). http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2011/07/04/110704fa_fact_paumgarten#ixzz1VgyuclqM
