Nail Of The Day/Outfit of the Day/ Face of the Day

I was feeling restless last night and knowing that I was going to wear my pretty new dress to work today, I figured I should match my manicure.  Below are pictures of the items I'm wearing

Nail Polish...A Recent Obession

Sorry I've been MIA for so long.  I've been crazy busy with work and lacked motivation or inspiration to write.  I have since left Ulta which was a tough decision to make.  It turns out with the distance to get there and the temptation to buy makeup, I was actually losing money working there.  I miss the discount, especially now with all the fantastic new makeup coming out but I do feel some relief in not having it staring me in the face, urging me to take it home, every single day.  Having said that, I am grateful for the time that I spent there because of the wonderful people I got to interact with every day.

Anyway, on to the nail polish.  I'm not sure if it's just me or if everyone has recently become obsessed with nail polishes.  I must have spent hundreds of dollars over the past few months on unique varnishes.  I do my nails almost every single day and have enjoyed fancy manicures like half moon manicures and funky french manicures.  I think that I'm going to start doing nail of the day posts when I come up with a combination that I'm particularly proud of.  Today my nails are chipped because I did not wait long enough for them to dry before starting on dishes so, sadly, this will not be a nail of the day post.

I wanted to share some of my favorite polishes and recent acquisitions.  I apologize for the crappy pictures.  They were taken on my kitchen table right after I finished eating dinner.  Sorry if there's dirty dishes and other random things in the background.  Also, excuse any random gross lighting.  I am no where near a professional photographer.

I like this polish.  I don't love it though for the simple fact that removal is a pain in the butt.  The larger glitters stay on your nails forever and removal generally does scratch up my nails a little.  I know that soaking my nails or wrapping the cotton pads in aluminum foil will help with the removal process but I don't usually have time to sit around unable to use my hands for an extended period of time.  Also, it's really cold.
