Nail Polish Addiction

Today marks Day Five of the Flu.  I'm much better today, but very tired and kind of drained.  I hope to feel back to normal tomorrow.  I was feeling restless so I took myself to the store to binge on nail polish and such.  This is my haul.

I got some cuticle remover, a quick dry top coat from OPI (my bottle of Essie's To Dry For top coat is tinged pink and is getting low), a glass nail file, four new polishes, and some nail stickers.

I've been wanting to try nail stickers, but I haven't seen any that I liked until tonight.  These are from Maybelline's Color Show line, called Midnight Lace.  I like the Color Show nail polishes, so I thought I'd give it a shot.

The two tiny bottles are Essie polishes (Wicked and Ballet Slippers) and they came in a little set with the nail file.  I was looking for a glass file and couldn't find one by itself.  So I got bonus nail polish.

The other two polishes are from CoverGirl.  I haven't used CoverGirl polish lately, but I had a coupon and they had the pale white pink that I wanted.  So.  We'll see how it goes.  The colors are called Forever Frosted and Tickled Pink.

Earlier today I painted my nails.  Twice.  I first painted them Essie's Bahama Mama, which looks like a dark raspberry in the bottle, but on the nail looks like ox blood.  It wasn't ugly, but it was boring me to death, so I took it off and painted them red instead.

I got a couple little bottles of polish in my Christmas stocking, so I put them to use today.  I did two coats of ORLY Ma Cherie, which is a bright, bright red.  It goes on very sheer, and I didn't really care for it, so over the top I put two coats of China Glaze Ruby Pumps, which is a red jelly with very fine red glitter.  It's a gorgeous color.  The photo doesn't really do it justice.  It's very bright and sparkly.

My nails look awesome.  And a bonus, for once they match my toes.
