HEY – nail art is still art right?

Similar to the Venetian glass work known as Millefiori – or “thousand flowers” – nail canes take your favorite nail design and make them ridiculously itty-bitty.

They start with a rainbow of  clay polymers - stack, shape, assemble and sculpt until intricate images are created. The cane is then stretched and rolled until the diameter is almost non-existent. But, when the cane is sliced - SURPRISE!!! – the image remains in miniature

When budgets run tight – a nail makeover can be a guilt free indulgence. For a girl who can barely do her own manicure without shaking, sputtering, spilling and sucking  . . .

 ”excuse me – could you pass me the nail polish remover please”

nail canes are pretty effing rad.

C’mon doing a plain ol’ clean polish job takes enough practice – forget about trying to paint a flamingo on top of all that and spending 4 hours letting everything dry. Nail canes have no drying time and ensure you get a perfect kerokerokeroppi or hummingbird on each and every nail. Find out more HERE

“fight klub” – 2008 – Brian Viveros

I’m pretty finicky with my wallpaper images on my blackberry.

Truth be told – for past year I found myself falling back on my old standard – JAMES FRANCO.

YUM.

Until I came across the works of Brian Viveros. Double Yum.

Blood. Tattoos. Nudity.

. . . and the ubiquitous dangling cigarette

The girls that inhabit the world of Mr. Viveros are the very essence of grimy, sexy and dangerous

Maybe one day I’ll be lucky enough to own one of his originals (I’d hang it above my stove, or maybe my bed)

until then

Ms. Fight Klub lights up my blackberry with her smoked out eyes and bloodied knuckles.
