Confession: I used to bite my nails. I know, ewww. But I just couldn’t shake the habit. It was bad. Not to mention, EMBARRASSING. What girl doesn’t want to have pretty nails?! One Thanksgiving my cousin (and fellow nail-biter) and I made a deal… we challenged each other to see who could have the longest nails by Christmas. The competition was ON and I was determined to win.

But let me tell you, by the time Christmas rolled around we didn’t CARE who had the longest nails… we were both just ecstatic that we actually had pretty, paintable nails. (Proof of the power of accountability!) And so, my nail polish obsession began. Anddd it hasn’t really dissipated like I thought it would. I’m a photographer, mom! I HAVE to have pretty nails since my clients SEE my nails! (My favorite excuse to buy more. ;)

One of the best signs of spring? When drug stores decorate their walls with pastel rows of glory. Here are some of the hues I’ll (hopefully) be adding to my collection soon!

Ahhhh “mint candy apple.” Seriously all the rage right now. You can bet I’ll be jumping on the bandwagon this summer!
Nothing like a sheer pink to excentuate perfectly manicured nails. This particular hue, in “true love” is just PRESH.
This is a MUST have. The perfect luminescent silver with a glittery sheen. “Silver bullions” is where it’s at!
Which are your most recent Essie faves? I’d love to hear! Happy Friday!
