It's All Fun and Games Until Someone Breaks a Nail

Day 6: Why you like nail polish.

When I was really young, I chewed my nails.  Not bit them, chewed. I had no nails and less cuticles.  I remember getting in an argument with my dad one time when I was tying water balloons because my fingers were quite literally bleeding.  I actually developed a different way of holding my hands in my lap so you couldn’t see my hands so that my mom wouldn’t freak out over it.  She promised me in fourth grade that if I would stop chewing on them, she would take me to have a professional manicure.

I’m 21 and still haven’t got that manicure.  I still haven’t stopped chewing.  But I’m better.  I had a shoebox full of polish in elementary/jr. high, cheap dollar stuff.  I picked up the Nail bug hard my freshman year of college, looking for a lime green that would glow under blacklight for a costume party. 

Another reason? In high school a particularly rude boy that hung out with my best friend called me ‘Man-hands’ constantly.  Painting my nails and taking care of them is my one feminine concession. 

TL;DR- So I’d stop chewing my nails, and to feel a little girly sometimes. 

Day 3: The name of the place where you buy most of your nail polish.

Sallys.  Kroger (They sell OPI).  Ulta.

This has been a post.

I saw this floating around a while back and thought this would be a good place to put it. 

Day 1: A picture and the name of your favorite nail polish.

This one is hard.  I have so much polish it’s hard to pick one.  I’d have to say, though, that this is one of my favorites.

I use this all the time.  This is one of the few polishes that I actually have a back-up of.
