ABOUT ME

For fourteen years, I was a compulsive nail biter. I hated my nails. I hated my destroyed nail beds. I hated my ragged cuticles. I hated my nubby fingers. But most of all, I was convinced that those nail beds, those cuticles, those fingers were forever. That there was no hope.

And yet here I am. I now take close-up photos of my hands, nails, and cuticles, and I post them on the internet for the world to see.

I want to believe in the small miracles. In mundane magic. Sometimes, this hope is all I have.

Nail polish is a magic we can all have at the ends of our fingertips.

I’m Alice. Welcome to my little corner of magic and hope.

I've decided to try to be a bit looser with what I post. Sometimes I second guess myself and think that something is too simple, but maybe sometimes that's what we need?
Here's a quick and simple idea I've been meaning to do, and since it has to be done in the summer, no better time than the present! ๐Ÿงก

As soon as I saw the announcement for #HeyGreenMay, I knew the shade of green I definitely wanted to contribute--chartreuse. When I first learned of the concept of this yellow-leaning green (or occasionally green-leaning yellow), I was disgusted. I thought I'd never seen an uglier color in my life ๐Ÿ˜‚ Fortunately I was maybe 10 years old at the time, so my taste is forgiven ๐Ÿ™ˆ
There's something about the intense process of glitter placement that makes it an all-or nothing activity for me. Some days I sit down intending to do it...and give up after five minutes because I just can't. And some other days those first few minutes just gets me into a zone where I find myself gliding through the finish line. It's been a stressful few days so it's nice to have something go right.
