Polish this!!

I've had an ongoing 28 year battle with biting my nails and finally, just maybe, think I've broke that disgusting habit!!  I remember Mrs. Jackie bribing me at DayCare with polish, they even told me I'd end up with a worm in my stomach that would eat it's way out...didn't phase me. When I had my veneers done, the dentist told me I wouldn't be able to bite them...WRONG!!! So one day when I had chewed my finger to new skin and could barely key at work because of the pain...I decided this is ridiculous...I'm so girly but look at these icky fingers!! No more!!! It's been about 6 months since I've nawwed them to the quick, knock on wood, but I think I'm finally over it. Now, I still pick at my cuticles a bit but my nails are long enough to paint and here begins my obsession with nail polish!! I love it all...normal, matte, irridescent, metallic, crackle and don't forget the GLITTER!!! My all time favorite brand is China Glaze. They have the best glitters and for me and my nails it last the best. OPI is my runner up. They have amazing colors but for some reason it chips a little faster but that just means I get to paint them again. Not such a bad thing!! I'm a sucker for 'SPECIAL EDITIONS'. And also for their names. If I'm stuck and can't decide (and TJ's with me or I would just buy both) I let the names decide!!! Here's a few that top my list...



China Glaze Ruby Pumps
By far the best glitter red ever. And I mean EVER!!!
It's full coverage and just the right amount of sparkle.
I buy these 2 at a time!!!



China Glaze Bad Kitty
This is the newest member of my collection!
It's more sheer but still a great color.



OPI Ink
All time fav OPI color.
It has just a touch of sparkle and who wouldn't love
that deep rich purple.



OPI Rainbow Connection
Muppets Collection Holiday 2011
Always sold out!! Arrgghhhh!!!
I can't even find it on Ebay for under $20 and I need this...
ok want...no it's a need...for my 30th birthday.
I have to have confetti nails...I just have to!!!

While I was on the hunt for the Rainbow Connection, most brands have a confetti-like polish but I'm not very trusting of just any polish, I stumbled upon Deborah Lippmann. She's a celebrity manicurist and let me just tell you, in her Lippmann collection, she has some FABULOUS colors. They run about $18 a bottle but I have a feeling it's totally worth every penny. If you've ever used her brand, I'd love to know what you think. Here are a few of her colors that are probably going to be making a home in my polish bag soon!!

deborah lippman Happy Birthday
Party in a bottle!!!
Her version of the confetti polish...
and its called Happy Birthday...it's a sign...it's meant to be!!!

 Obviously I have a glitter addiction...it's just so shiny...and I'm just so easily distracted by shiny objects!!! There are so many great colors out this season. From earthy tones to basics that have been turned up a notch, don't be scared...experiment...step out side your comfort zone and try a color that makes you smile even if it's not something you would normally choose. Because really what's the worse that could happen...you might love it...you might hate it...it's not permanent so go wild...or just glittery!!!

Be fabulous-
Ging
