Layniefingers is about my love of nail polish and experiments with nail art. I'm still learning as I go, so maybe you can learn with me! I'm loving Konad stamping, nail art pens, nail tips and artificial nails, animal prints and bright colors. I’m also experimenting with new ways to use the current tools and products, as well as ways to make existing techniques easier and more versatile. Plus, if I can make someone laugh along the way, it’s been a successful day.
