From a thoughtful and generous co-worker...

Well actually she's my team lead. However, she went on vacation recently and brought some nail-related stuff back for me (and I didn't ask for anything)!
It was such a wonderful surprise - and my favorite part of her gift was a much coveted Japanese Nail magazine. It's got soooo many pictures that are  inspirational, as well as steps for creating many of the designs. I took a few random photos. She also got me some glitter (though it's called gel color powder?), and two sets of nail decals - one of which is hello kitty. Isn't she awesome? I plan to try some of the designs in the magazines, and will post the inspiration photo as well when I do.
