(More of) My materialistic side

Some things I want, but just can't bring myself to buy:

OPI Mermaid's Tears from the Pirates of the Caribbean line.

Actually any sea blue/green creme would do.  

Stylin' re-usable water bottle.  Problem is, I'd never use it! I hate having a heavy purse and even though I drink green smoothies, I like them cold & fresh..

Nude/Heels/Wedges/Espadrilles - I crave these so bad!
Problem... can't wear them anywhere!  Too fancy for school and probably not allowed at work. :P

And speaking of shoes.... Louboutin lace booties. YUM.

Aaaaand finally a canvas tote.  Preferable something adorably feminine. They make the best grocery bags.  Which is important to me since I carry my groceries home on a bicycle!

My secret life

I am a nail polish addict & fanatic.  But a snobby one.  I like niiiiice polish.  One of my (materialistic) life goals is to own a Chanel polish. (Particularly the red that LB was inspired by).  I also love the excitement it brings to my fingertips.  I got really into polish when I had to cut my nails short for pottery & piano.  I hated my nails being so short (makes my fingers look short and squishy).  So I fell to polish to spruce up my hands.  It's also a great outlet for my artistic side.

Something shameful about my obsession: I have been trying all week to write a 500 word essay for my history class.  However, I wrote a 560 word email about nail polish in under one hour. Sad, I know.

But I cleaned out my phone's sd card today and decided to post my collection of manicure pictures.  Camera quality is good... but not that good :P

LOVED this retro manicure.  CG Recyle + cheap black

One of my favorite color combinations.  OPI something

CG Mango Madness glitter gradient

First time sponging! Zoya Jules + Sephora by OPI gold glitter

Mermaid-y sponging awesomeness.  Maybelline Go Go Green +
S.OPI Mermaid To Order + CG Beauty & the Beach
+ Covergirl Gold Rush 

Yeah so I'm obviously not a professional.  But MAN is painting nails great fun!
