So today I thought I would tell you about one of my biggest
obsessions; nail polish. I know I know, some of you may be thinking ‘really!?’
but there is something about it that can make or break any outfit. Naturally I’m a
girly girl, I love everything to do with make-up, hair, nails, clothes etc...
My first love was most definitely make-up (I was one of
those little girls who used to raid their mums drawers in search of a lipstick
to try on or a blusher to apply). Now don’t get me wrong, I am still very much
obsessed with cosmetics but it has only been in the last few years that my passion
for polish began. You may be wondering
why this sudden obsession, well it’s because after years and years of abusing
my nails I finally decided to stop biting and start growing. I’m not joking
when I tell you that my mother literally begged me to stop biting (she bit hers
well into her twenties and unfortunately they are in a sad way now), and one
day I just decided to listen! I went off to a nail salon (only a cheap and cheerful
one), had a french manicure and that was probably the best decision I had ever
made in regards to my nails. I wanted to keep the manicure on as long as
possible seeing as I had shelled out for it and that was the start of my
wonderful relationship after many years of abuse, between myself and my
nails!!!
So 3 years down the line and I now have pretty decent nails
to show for it and I love showing them off! So here is my advice to all of you
lovely readers, if you do bite your nails I urge you to stop. Short, stubby,
bitten nails just aren’t all that pretty! All it takes is a bit of
determination, and more importantly, a couple of coats of polish and you are
good to go!
So this is why my nail polish collection grew and grew. I
found that if I constantly had colour on my nails I was less inclined to go for
a nibble every once in a while (/ all the time!). At first I stuck with the
colours I knew best, dark reds, pinks, and a few beige's, but then I became far
more adventurous. I am now an avid follower of colour trends and am constantly
seeking new and innovative products to try out. So if any of you have any recommendations,
send them my way.
