w0nderlandbby: Get To Know Me

Let's see...where do I even begin!? How about a few generic facts about myself? My name is w0nderlandbby...oh wait, you want my actual name, huh? Well, Cassie's the name, and nail polish is my game! lol. I have been committed to Corbey for over 2 years now [05.23.12], and still going strong! We have 2 cats who are like my children! Yes, I AM a Crazy Cat Lady! They're just so precious! hehe. We have also recently added a mixed mutt to our family named Honey (her brindle coloring makes her look like swirls of honey!), and we have also taken in my teacup Yorkie from a previous relationship named Chloe (my parents have been keeping her the past few years). I am also a nail everything fanatic! Which is what my blog will mostly consist of (with the random family/pet posts I may provide y'all). Oh, I'm also 23 years young until March 16th comes back around. I was in the Navy for a mere year (2009-2010); honorably, medically discharged before I could finish A-School. I am a very easy going person. Generally, I am overly nice to everyone. But, just like everyone else, I can have a...not so nice side as well. It takes a lot to push my buttons, so don't worry, we're all friends here! So, how about some more polish talk? ;)

Polish Talk

I started really getting into doing my nails around March of 2013? Corbey, and I moved into our first apartment, and I had discovered that I actually owned nail polish! Which was odd, because I always went to get my nails done at a salon. So I tried to paint my own nails after...who knows how long! They were terrible! I had no idea what I was doing! I didn't know a single thing about nail care, or how to even properly apply nail polish. I didn't know I could clean up the edges/cuticles with an angled brush, or anything. It was a mess! And I'm not a huge girly-girl so I also didn't know what colors really went together. I'm pretty sure it looked like I had nails meant for a 6 year old. haha.

So after having kid nails, and being 22 years old, I turned to YouTube for help. I searched how to apply nail polish like a pro, and started watching a million and one videos on techniques. Eventually, I stumbled upon this new and strange video with a title like, "nail art for beginners". I had no idea nail art was such a big thing! So I locked myself in my room, turned the lights down low, and started a YouTube nail art video marathon! Sounds fun right? Oh, it was! I was mesmerized by the beautiful art these ladies were creating on the small canvas that was their nails! I was addicted from then on. And Corbey also enjoyed watching a few videos with me every now, and then(;

So I started to research nail care routines, and nail designs, and products to get started in this magical community I was lucky enough to stumble upon. It was so overwhelming! There was so much info I had no idea even existed! Who knew there was so much that went into nails!? Not me! I'm still learning, and definitely still consider myself an amateur. But I have come a long way in this past year or so, and I hope you join me in my journey through all things nail polish, and nail related!

You're Awesome!
