Nail Polish Addict

I am addicted to nail polish. My nails are always painted. And I have quite the collection of polish - and this isn't all of them :) I love all kinds of polish - I buy cheap polish (Sally Hansen) to very expensive (Deborah Lippman and Butter London) and everything in between.





When I found myself bored this week, pondering how to spend the Sephora gift card my wonderful sister gave me, I came across Sephora by OPI's at home gel colour system - its a gel manicure system that guarantees polish to last 2 weeks. I spent an hour reading reviews and trying to talk myself out of it. I even stopped by my local Sephora on my way home from work to check it out. The sales woman tried talking me into it too - I didn't need much convincing, I'm pretty good at doing that all on my own (anyone else would have been scared away - her nails were a total mess. But still.) All I needed was about another hundred in Sephora gift cards and it was mine! Till I was at dinner with Josh, hinting at what a wonderful birthday gift it would make, when he said "you shouldn't get it because you LIKE painting your nails. Every couple days, you want to try something different. This would be a waste." How right he was - its funny that sometimes, he knows me better than I know myself! I paint my nails because I like to. I like changing up the colors, and I almost never do the same color in a row. I buy nail polish all the time because I'm obsessed with new colors and textures. So instead of spending $160 on a gel manicure set, I bought cool polishes instead Nail Jewelry and Sprinkle nail polish. Now I just need to patient until they arrive :)

  1. Would you believe I don't own a single bottle of nail polish? I need to come over and paint my nails with you sometime. :)

  3. You and me both. But I've gotten to be such a snob that I hate the texture of anything other than OPI, Butter London, Essie or Chanel. SNOB ALERT!
