Boom Shaka Lacquer is Back

This is gonna be a short post.  And while this particular post won’t have any pretty polishes or nail art it will have an explanation for my absence and some things to look forward to.  Also, I’d love your input as well if there’s something that you’d like to see let me know and I’ll see what I can do to fulfill those requests!

Back in May around the time of my last post I was having a serious bout of blogger burnout and I sort of was letting things slide a bit.  I planned some posts and did some nail art but I just couldn’t get it to come together.  I needed a break and badly.

In July, my aunt (who is disabled and I am caregiver for) had a serious heart attack.  Needless to say this rocked my/our world in more ways that can be imagined.  She’s recovering well, but we had a rocky time.  About the time things started to look up with her health it was the holidays…well that’s never a good time to get back to blogging what with all the other holiday shenanigans going on.

But, lately I’ve been doing my nails more, doing more nail art, and even posting on Instagram some (as many of you may have noticed).  Most importantly, I’ve missed all my lovely readers!

I have some travel coming up this summer so I’m on a pretty serious no-buy BUT I have a huge stash of polish and quite a bit that I’ve never shown you.  So I will be challenging myself to use and blog my stash for you all.  This means you’ll see more nail art, some LEs and discontinued polishes (which you may be able to find on the second-hand market), and some things that never made it to the blog before.

What would you like to see?  Do you want me to test nail art techniques or tutorials and tell you my thoughts on how easy or hard they may be?  Do you want to see my fails as well as my successes?  I promise you I fail hard at nail art sometimes!  Let me know in the comments.
