WANTED: Ciaté — Very Colourfoil Manicure™

It started out innocent enough. I was on Sephora.com just doing a little casual browsing... when I saw them. New nail kits from Ciaté. At $19 each, they're a bit of an investment, but I am going gaga for them. Check. It. Out. First up is Carnival Couture. I love this kaleidoscope of color!

Next is Kaleidoskope Clask. What a perfect name!

I have never seen this product in real life, nor have I seen someone wearing it, so these kits remain shrouded in sweet, sweet mystery. Here are the details I read:

According to Sephora, these Very Colourfoil Manicure kits are online only. Limited edition. And exclusive to Sephora. I don't know about you but to me, that sounds like a taunt. Or a threat. What's a girl to do?!

Is nail polish tax-deductible??

And Now, Some "Social" Commentary

Hello girls. (And guuuuys.)  I'm finally gittin' hip to that there Instagram. It's taken me a while but I'll admit, I'm digging it. I was thinking Instagram would be a great way to share with you guys all of the great manis I see at my office, on my travels (and by "travels," let's face it, I'm referring to "errands") and more. So if you like cats & nail polish, just follow me @francescanunez and you'll get more than your fair share of both. And maybe even the occasional baked good or two.

Where else can you get photos like these?? (Do not say "the whole Internet.")

Another digital property I haunt is Polishment: THE BOARD, my Pinterest board dedicated to the nail and nothing but the nail. I pin pretty frequently, and it's become a great source of inspiration for new products, color combos to try, manicure tips & tricks, and easy DIY nail art. There are some Sunday nights when I'm stumped as to what to try next; a quick peek at my Polishment board leaves me with a plan of attack every time. I hope it helps you, too!

Look at my Pinterest bait. Mwahaha.

If any of you have nail polish blogs / Instagrams / Pinterest boards you wanna share, whether it's yours or just one of your faves,  please do so in the comments! Let's make this post a friendly forum for nail polish hot spots on the Web.
