I’ve recently developed a nail polish obsession.  After years of biting my nails (like 30 years), I stopped.  I don’t know why, it was a miracle.  However, if I don’t keep my nails short and polished I will bite them all off.  So now I polish and file.  I don’t have long nails, just better looking nails.

Because I have to polish all the time (at least twice per week), I have explanded my collection.  I’ve always kept my toes polished, but I would leave that on for weeks or months at a time (sorry, George).  Polish on my fingers tends to chip and I love to peel it all off, especially when I’m at work.  Because I like to have my nails look “fresh” and shiny all the time I need a lot of different colors.

Don’t they look so pretty?

I'm loving these colors right now.

Like candy, but with no calories!!  I don’t recommend eating these, btw.

I’m hoping to have a shelf on the wall for my polish so it will look like a nail salon.  I think the shelves would help me when I’m searching for the perfect color.  I prefer to buy OPI and Essie, but I’ve been known to grab a 99 cent bottle of Wet ‘N Wild in an emergency.  Yes, I realize OPI and Essie cost a f*** ton of money.  And yes, I’m too cheap frugal to spend all my money on nail polish.

Fortunately, I’m able to buy all my polish and hair products at a beauty supply store so they are usually 50% less than you would spend in a salon!!  I know. Isn’t that great?

Now I can enjoy my nails all the time and don’t feel bad when I polish one day and pick it all off the next.

Today’s color:

California Coral, by Essie. Please disregard my old, scaly looking hands.

Paint On!!
