My sister, the artist

Today's blog is about nail polish. (take a deep breath, boys.  I'll keep it short.)

My younger sister hasn't taken much interest in video games, like my brother and I have.  She also dislikes being an over-achiever in school (like my brother an I are), and she's an all around athlete (so unlike us).  

She still gets good grades, and plays video games once in awhile on the Wii, but she genuinely loves crafts.  

Oh yeah...she can cook better than me too.

She's a genius at artsy things.  

She'll make her own headbands, make her own feather chains to put in her hair, draw clever pictures for birthday cards, scrapbook like a pro...If it's crafty, she will learn it--and be good at it.

One of these crafty passions she's in at the moment involves painting her nails.  And it's not just the boring one-color paint job like I do on mine:

My nails: a suspicious shade of lime green I was gifted for Christmas.
Thank goodness it's all chipped off now.

No, she goes all out with her (my!) fancy nail polish pens, and makes things like this:

yeah, those are christmas lights.

Or this:

Winnie the Pooh & Friends

It's disgusting how good she is at it.

Now, granted, she gets her inspiration from other people who do their nails and post the designs online, but for the most part, she has to improvise because everyone's nails are different shapes.  I think she's amazing at it--and I don't even count the fact that she's only 13!

Anyway, I've been telling her that I'm going to put her nails up on my blog, so she has to do them more often...I can't wait to see what she'll come up with.  Besides, if you guys like them, I can pass on the compliments to her and she can let them go to her head.  =)

<3 you Kae!
