Blogger hits the (lacquer) bottle
26.07.10
Painting your nails can be a pastime, sure. For some, getting a manicure is even a weekly ritual.
But for one Las Vegas blogger, the art of nail painting has become an every day spectacle – putting her on the radar of MTV’s Buzzworthy blog, Allure Arsenal’s blog, and now, The Rebel Yell.
The brain behind the blog, 29-year-old Melissa Osburn, created “The Continually Nail” as a project to design different nail patterns on her own nails every single day of the year.
That’s 365 different manicures – and a lot of acetone.
Her ovation-painted designs span from the band members of KISS, Storm Troopers and Toy Story characters, to her most important design -strips of bacon.
Between her real life, blogging and waiting for her paint to dry, Osburn somehow found time in her register to attend this year’s cosmetics and hair convention, COSMOPROF, held at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center.
“My favorite meet with was getting to meet all the people that I would never have gotten to meet otherwise,” said Osburn, who got to meet a fellow nail blogger from “All Lacquered Up,” at the diet.
