Nail Polish

Hi.

My name is Mimi.

*waits for you to say Hi, Mimi*

I’m addicted to nail polish. I don’t know when it happened or why but its out of control.

Whenever I go in the store, I try to look straight ahead and steer clear of the aisles that house these little bottles of internal joy but they “be” calling my name.

Mimi..Mimi….MiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiii. We know you hear us.

Then I go to them. I buy 1, 2 or even 3 bottles at a time.

I need help.

Here’s the proof:

My nail plates and stamper...that I don't know how to use

Awful. I know. Total count is 130 +/- 5 that are missing because little hands got into them. Sad part is now that I have most of the drug store brands my plan is to move on to building my Essie and OPI collections. There is a warehouse in Miami that sells them for $3-$4 a bottle. My friend Sheena is going to take me when I go down there in a couple of weeks. I can’t wait. It really shouldn’t be that serious…but it is. *hangs head in shame*

How many bottles of nail polish do you have?

If you haven’t entered don’t forget about the $50 Stella and Dot Giveaway. Enter here!!!

I loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooove nail polish. Why? I don’t know. One day soon I’ll divulge my entire nail polish hoarding problem collection.

For the longest I have been wanting a matte top coat. Yet, seeing that the average bottle of Essie’s matte top coat is about $8 I had been going back and forth about whether or not to get it. I had purchased all of Revlon’s limited amount of matte nail polishes and were not particularly fond of the colors. I just wanted a top coat and I didn’t want to pay $8 for it.

Well the heavens opened up and dropped this down…for $1.76 at my local Walmart.

I love the NYC brand. It’s is not only affordable, it dries fast and the brush is great for helping you stay in the lines. I think it is very comparable to some of the more expensive brands on the market.

Here is the before: Color is NYC High Line Green

After Matte Me Crazy:
…and just because I can’t leave well enough alone. No shade on the smudge. Okay?

Overall for the price…Run out and get some. FYI it does show all kinds of streaking so make sure you have good coverage

Nope. I wasn’t compensated for this post. I just love nailpolish.

Do you paint your nails, or experiment with nail art?
