ABOUT

Hiya!

Thanks for visiting the Nailingtons website. My name is Sophie and I come from a small village in Kent, annnnnd I love nail art (shocking I know)!

Since I was... iddy biddy I remember being overjoyed at going to the market and being bought some really awesome, shiny, cheap nail varnish that smelled like it could melt paint from the walls (it probably could!). I used to slap the stuff on so thickly that it would never ever dry, and then be devastated that I'd smudged it all.

My love for it diminished for a long while until last year when I discovered Konad nail stamping kits and now I'm on a mission to learn as much as possible. The more I looked into what could be done, the more I wanted to try, and what you see within this website is the result. Today I have a collection of 200+ varnishes, nail art pens, brushes, 75+ nail plates and many more shiny things like decals, fluff, rhinestones and foils.

In 2012-13 I began including some nail art posts in a personal, gaming related blog and was then sent the Leibster Award for a couple of tutorials I'd written up. After this I decided to create a dedicated Blogger nail art blog in April 2013 and that's when nailingtons.com was officially born (nailingtons.blogspot.com). Since then I've been writing posts about my own nail art, tutorials, reviews and other bits and pieces. I'm not one for writing huge long descriptions of where, what, when and how things are done in my posts but that's something I hope to improve for the future, though I try my best to include brief factual and useful information.

After the very kind encouragement of a friend I now have my very own little Etsy shop, links to which can be found on the home page or top banner. My life can be fairly restricting at the moment so it's a great little project to be working on. I aim to stock a range of hand created plastic nails including design inspiration from books, films, computer games, gradients, flowers, artwork and fashion.

As of May 2014, I've made the big jump away from Blogger over to my own site.. so now nailingtons.com is detached and free! I will miss the Blogger template and the integration with other Google products but this feels the right time to move and try something new.

Aside from nail art I really enjoy my photography and gaming.. and warmth!
If you ever have a question about one of the sets then please leave a comment below the post or drop me an email.

Really hope you enjoy the site!
