Nail Polish Connoisseur


I am a nail polish connoisseur.  (There’s just no other way to put it).

I collect Nail Polish that ranges in color from bright yellow to black and from red to green and everything in-between!  I also do my nails (yes, I paint my own nails) every 2 to 3 days because there is nothing more than I love than FRESHLY painted nails! 

(Maybe a steaming hot lobster? No, I love painting my nails just as much as I love devouring a lobster!)

I just think well-kept nails are gorgeous and tell a lot about a person (like how shoes tell a lot about a person).  And I am one who ALWAYS has her nails painted!

It’s also the best accessory!  (And an easy way to “freshen up” a go-to outfit).

I’m someone who always wears “all black everything” (tribute to Jay-Z’s “Run This Town”) and find that I can easily add a pop of color without changing my “go-to” ensemble by simply painting my nails, which takes me about .2 seconds (okay, more like 5 minutes).

The options are endless!  I do have a penchant for dark colors, that includes apparel, but there is nothing prettier than a splash of color on your nails!

Since I am one who paints my nails every couple of days I rotate my colors often and am always ready to try something new (sometimes this fails miserably, but it doesn’t take long to remove!)  AND TODAY I found a color that literally KNOCKED my socks off! 

I found it on a post on Twitter from Refinery29 that showed Fresh Nail Polish Trends for 2011.  The colors ranged from nude/pink to purple putty and my absolute favorite (TO DIE FOR) colors are the Peachy-Corals from Dior (Pink Boa $21) and Priti NYC (September Charm $12.50).

These colors have literally stolen my heart for the Year.  I’ve called it early, but these two beauties are the colors to beat this year!  I can’t wait to add these babies to my collection!

Love,
Your One & Only Fashion-Fixated Foodie

Eat your heart out!
