I am a West Coast nail blogger and have been at it since 2011. That sounds like such a long time! I’ve seen many amazing bloggers come and go in my time, but I will continue to share my love for all things nails until it stops being something I enjoy. I am not the world’s most prolific blogger and will take some breaks from time to time to keep this from feeling like a job–I already have one of those! I started out blogging about mainstream brands and still feature many of those brands regularly (OPI, China Glaze, Sally Hansen, Zoya), but I also love all the gorgeous indies that we have access to today so you will see a fair amount of those on my blog as well.
I sometimes talk about make up and other random things. If you’re here only for a nail polish and make-up drone who never talks about anything personal, then you should leave now. Immediately! Run! I am a chronic over-sharer so don’t judge me.
I hope that you enjoy your visit here and that you continue to come back. You can always reach me by leaving a comment on my blog, but I am also available on other social media sites:

I love your blog on the MUFE lippies! I am a huge MUFE fan! I love the Rouge Artist Intense lippies and just purchased #10; I currently own 5 of them and my collection continues to grow! I think they are one of the best lipsticks out there. You can check out my blog on my MUFE collection…I look forward to your future posts 🙂
Thanks Bridget! I totally agree that MUFE has some of the best lipsticks out there. I love the formula and how incredibly pigmented they are. Do you have a favorite shade? I haven't purchased any new lipsticks in a while because I have to make a dent in what I already have, but I want to try the new MUFE natural lipsticks. I'll be sure to check out your blog. Thanks for stopping by and commenting. Hope to see you around here sometime soon! 🙂

Hey, i’ve nominated you for the sunshine award [ http://meandjd.wordpress.com/2012/11/27/sunshine-award/#comments ]
I love what your blog and i’m looking forwards to see what you do next.
Thank you!
Let them not mock unicorns or they shall be struck down. lol. I’ve been collecting them since before they came with rainbows and sparkles, over 40 years. Many of my most loved ones were gifts. It’s amazing what your loved ones can search out when they know it’s a serious collecting love and not just a passing fancy. My grandmother found me the most amazing music boxes. My husband gave me a blown glass unicorn couple in a pink heart just days before he proposed more than 20 years ago, having no idea it was a wedding cake topper, lol. Men. (We didn’t use it. I was too afraid of it getting broken.)
Stumbled on your blog searching Nail-Aid, I think I’ll like it.
Miss Professional Nail posted your nail design using Sation Board Girl Blue on Facebook. I was wondering if you have a tutorial or could give tips on how you did this design?
Hi Karen. It’s actually a stamping plate design. You can see my post on this manicure here: http://oflifeandlacquer.com/sation-board-girl-blue-2ndtim/
I stumbled upon your blog today when I was researching Essie’s 2013 Winter collection. I love the way you write. It makes me feel like I am talking to a friend and not reading a review. Awesome job!
That’s such a wonderful compliment! Thank you so much. 🙂
I read on fb that u were liking duri rejuvacote…. do you still think it works good? Im thinking about maybe ordering some

I’m such a turd for not responding sooner. YES!!!! It’s an amazing product. I haven’t done a review for it yet but I will this weekend, I think. I haven’t had a single break since I started using it. The only place I know to get it is Walmart. If you end up trying it, I hope that you love it as much as I do.
Oh walmart huh ? Thank you! The girl at Sally’s looked at me like i had three heads when I asked her if they carried it Lol
people on amazon reviews said it burned their fingers??? i cant wait to hear your review!

You have such beautiful natural nails! Can I ask, though it may not be a simple answer, what your nailcare/hand care regimen is?! i do my best for my cuticles and nails but I have fairly short nailbeds, so my jealousyof your lovely shape and care is rearing its head!
:)Thank you!
Hi Hillary. I have actually done a post about this but I am about to do another because I have some new products I have been using. I’ll probably be posting it sometime next week so hopefully that will be helpful.
Hi Cynthia !!
I am not sure if you have the best impression of me right now , but I am really not as bad as “the” twitter impression 🙂
I am really loving your blog .. I have never been to California but I really want to someday 🙂
You swatches are pretty cocky and I guess my “twitter” kinda goes with your personality of “over sharing” .. I love to talk so we have that in common .. Good luck dear

I apologize .. Darn the auto correct !! .. I meant your swatches are cool .. I mistyped and stupid phone auto corrected my typo.. Sorry .. This crappy auto correct makes me sound like a dumbo with no command over the language .. Grrrr..
