Nail Polish Progression

My last few nail polish colors, including No Nail Polish August.  I complain a lot about things like this, so here is your civilized alternative.

OPI's Purple With A Purpose

essie's Turquoise & Caicos

No Nail Polish August!

essie's Rock Candy

essie's California Coral

Ulta's Smoke Screen

OPI's Lincoln Park After Dark

OPI's Princesses Rule!

essie's Mink Muffs

I clearly have a nail polish problem, so you can expect this list to be updated as I change my colors. :wink:

Braids

I have curls.  Lots and lots of curls.  When I was younger, my curly hair was the bane of my existence and appearance.  I was constantly fawned over by adults for it and compared to former child stars that I didn't know (Shirley Temple?  Oh, cool.  Thanks...).  As an adult I've come to accept my curls, but there's still one thing I wish my hair could do: braids.

So pretty and feminine and versatile. You straight haired ladies don't even know how good you have it.

New Beginnings

I have a confession.  I'm addicted to nail polish.  In 2010 I don't think I've gone a full 24 hours without nail polish on my fingers.  (Let's not talk about 2009.  It's over.)  But today is Monday!  And only the second day of August.  So I have a fresh start all around.  I (obviously) have nail polish on my fingers right now - Essie's Turquoise & Caicos, justsoyouknow -  and I don't really like nail polish remover so unless I get impatient I will probably just let this color chip off, but!  For the month of August, I vow not to put any more nail polish on my fingers.

That feels better.  Unfortunately, I also just bought two new colors.  I'm going to have to resist them until September... >:)

China Glaze "For Audrey" - the perfect Tiffany blue

Essie "California Coral" - recommended by Alice at La Vie en Peony

I love Mondays.. it's like a mini New Year's, every week. :)
