Chit Chat Nails Update

Author: marta  //  Category: Uncategorized

Hello Lovely Ladies,

My personal life has been fairly slow- the kids are growing… Jackson is starting to talk a little and when Olivia is in school Maya is filling the big-sister role and helping Jackson out.  We have had some sort of bug/virus/cold/flu something-or-other for the past few weeks it seems… but I guess that is expected with the warmer than usual weather.

While my personal life is slow and steady, my blogging life has so many exciting things going on!!! I would like to dedicate today’s post to kind of fill you in and share!

The biggest and most exciting news: my very first in-print feature in a Magazine!!!! A number of weeks back now, I was contacted by both the Editor and the Art Director of MODERN HAIR+BEAUTY magazine.  I was asked to share a few of my manicures with them, and was informed this week that at least one of them made it into the February 2013 issue of MODERN HAIR+BEAUTY yearbook!!!!

This surpasses my wildest dreams!  I started blogging to have an outlet for my passion for painting nails and my desire to meet new people (while on maternity leave).  That was two years ago.  I have now made some true friends, I communicate with Ladies from around the world, and now this Australian feature!!!! AMAZING.

I was given permission to share this video with you, of one of the incredible photo shoots for this issue of Modern Hair+Beauty!  Please check it out!


* * * * *

I was also sent twenty one (that is right, 21!) bottles of Shimmer Polish. 

I will be swatching them a few at a time but if there are any that you would like to see first, please let me know (Strength and Kim have already been requested ;) )

* * * * *

And finally, completely NON nail polish related I have a cute little animal-video that still has me laughing big time (and I hope it makes your day also)! ;)


THAT’S ALL!

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

THANK YOU FOR READING!

    So happy to hear that everything is going well! 1/2 year ago I would have never thought that I could feel connected with someone just buy reading their blog, but you are the sweetest person, replying all your comments, and sharing your life ;) wish you only the best! Hugs <3

      Marta is that you on the homepage top? Asking just because she has brown hair… :) and you have had some awesome photos taken by Peter lately :)

        Thank you SO much. It is challenging to juggle personal life and manicures- I never want to bore anyone with my daily life- but I appreciate that the little bits I do share are always so kindly received. I appreciate each and every comment and if someone takes the time to leave it- I TRY my best to return the kindness and comment back. I too have grown really fond of my followers ;) /readers/friends :D

        As per the header photos- while I appreciate the compliment (and will pass it on to Peter) the photo is NOT ours. I run my blog through WordPress and the free templates that were available looked like boring “essay” ones ;) This was the only template that fit my ‘style’… header was included… *sigh*… though I did used to have brown hair :D

    Wah, that is so exciting! Congratulations!! And oooh, I can’t even imagine staring at that many Shimmers and trying to decide where to start. Can’t wait to see your pics! ;)

    • http://www.chitchatnails.com/ Marta

      Thank you SO much! The support I get on a daily basis is UNREAL :D
      Yes, I think I will tackle the shimmers a few at a time but all the glittery bottles have me picking them up (over and over again) just to admire the sparkle :D lol

        Haha, no doubt! I’d probably be fondling them and murmuring all Gollum about “my precioussss.” >_<

    Awesome news all around! :) After scrutinizing the Shimmer picture, I request the gold-ish on the left, 3 up from the bottom.

      Thank you!
      I saw this video posted by a friend on facebook- Peter wasn’t as smitten with it as I was – so not sure if he too saw it at work or not- either way- it is a fun video that I couldn’t resist but share (despite the fact that it is NOT nail polish related).
