Get your PolishPak nail polish travel rolls and special effect indie polish on Etsy! Handmade to order, they make great gifts for yourself or a special friend!

In 2016 I was packing my suitcase for a trip to Europe, when I realized I needed a better solution for my nail supplies! I grabbed some scrap fabric and stitched together the very first Jumbo Pak, with 24 pockets to haul my supplies - and my European shopping - home. Upon my return I discovered the travel bag was also great for shopping trips and sending hauls to friends. I set about making an eve

ryday bag with 12 pockets, and that's how the standard PolishPak came to be! Sometime in 2017 I started making my own indie nail polish too. I was obsessed with thermals and the market didn't have what I wanted, so I started crafting my own with help from online indie communities. I released four polishes in 2018: Seattle (my hometown) a sheer thermal; Fargo, a purple solar; Torrevieja, a pink and purple solarthermal; and Cape Town, a multichrome. Since then I've released a few collections a year, all special effect formulas. My personal Paks have traveled to Asia, Europe, Canada, and pretty much every retail store in town. Where are yours going?

Have you received my latest postcard in your order, with beautiful camellia blooms? It's one of my favorite pictures from Hitachi Seaside Park on the south coast of Japan, but it's not what you might expect! This is actually a picture of a bathroom 😄 Scroll to see the building in all its mirrored tile glory.

With everything going on, it's easy to forget about 🌸 I didn't forget - I sent $86 from sales of to . Let's not forget that Asian Americans also experience the injustice of federally sanctioned kidnappings and racial discrimination going on in our communities right now 💜

This month's theme was PETS 🐾 My house is currently run by one blue-eyed torbie named Maddy. I did my best to hand paint her orange blaze and mottled features 🩵 I used as the base.

OOPS I accidentally made a few of solarthermal Vik with red to gold shimmer instead of purple to green. I think it's quite pretty, so I've put em in the shop! 🎁 Grab yours while they last at voyagehues.etsy.com under the listing for Vik.

Another fun month cohosting with and this month we celebrated our crafty hobbies! I loved learning about everyone's unique talents and seeing their craft interpreted on nails 🧶🎨💅

I have dabbled in many crafts but lately I've been making a lot of strange necklaces. Now that I'm an auntie I feel it's only right that I should have some Ms Frizzle flair to entertain my nephew! 😁 This is one of my recent faves - I bought a dollhouse teaset and glued the loose pieces together then strung it with white aurora and gold beads ☕

I'm wearing it here with a white base from , my pearly white and pink solarthermal (but my nails are too short to have pink tips right now) and a topper that I have been giving free with purchase of my complete 12-piece rainbow topper set. Do you think I should offer Pot of Gold for sale?

Thanks everyone for joining us this month! Next month we're featuring PETS 🐾 Please join us!

I've updated the formula for solar to work around some pigment quality issues. As a bonus it also doesn't smell Blue anymore 😄 There's a couple old formula bottles still in my inventory if you prefer it, and they're half price in the shop until they sell out 🩵💜

Happy B Day ! 🎂 Hope you had a great day! I had fun wearing for the collab hosted by .mess and 🖤

It's such a pretty black with scattered holo and these gorgeous flakies that shift nearly every color of the rainbow 🌈 Still available in the shop, if you want to grab a bottle!

My first time cohosting a collab! 🥰 This month's theme was and I knew right away I wanted to highlight my struggle with my nails.

I've always had thin, peely nails that prevented me from growing any kind of length. They grow quickly and are paper thin, separating easily and tearing as soon as they extend beyond my fingertips. I admired my parents' long thich nails and hoped I'd get them when I grew up, but that didn't happen.

Instead, when I started swatching polish on my nails I taught myself how to apply acrylic nails. It took some time for me to accept that I'm not doing anything wrong with my body and that artificial nails are a valid way to participate in the community. There's such a stigma around using enhancements, and as I learned, much of it is rooted in anti-Black racism and ableism.

With acrylics I can design my nails in the length and shape I want, and change or remove them anytime. I can have sturdy, beautiful looking overlays when I need to do swatches, and practical nubs when I need to do physically demanding work. I hope more people will learn about the history of artificial nails and work to eliminate the stigma, racism, and shame. Enhanced nails are just as valid as natural ones 💜

📷 Pictured: My natural nails at their longest, and with acrylic overlays, partly painted with a summer prototype. In the background you can see a few of the products I've used over the years.

👉🏻 Thanks to everyone who participated in the month collab! And especially my cohost for showing me the ropes.
