Mani Monday

And... It's Monday! I love to paint my nails, who doesn't? So, it's Mani Monday!

 

I wanted to share with you my favorite nail colors, and the ones that I am lusting over for this Fall.

 

First a couple of things.

 

One: I am addicted to Essie, OPI, and Sephora by OPI nail polishes. Yes, I have bought other brands, like a color from Ulta that I love, but I usually just stick with those three. Maybe because the names make me laugh, or they have stayed the longest and have a wide variety of colors?

 

Second: I like COLOR on my toes, but not my fingers. I have rather short nails that I have been trying and retrying to grow out (I am a recovering nail bitter- Ick, I know), so any color other than a nice almost nude pink, sparkles, or clear just looks off to me. (yes, it's my hand in the picture above. It was my first time trying the nail sticker things that I found on clearance at Sephora. They lasted a week, before I grew tired of them.)

 

Favorite Nail Strengtheners:

Essie grow stronger nail strengthener

OPI Nail Envy





Current Favorite Colors:

OPI Bubble Bath
Makes nail beds pinker and nails whiter (like a French mani)

Essie Wicked
A deep red/burgundy
