I think I own too many nail polishes.
There. I said it.
There was a time, less than 12 months ago when I had none. No nails, no polishes. It was as simple equation. Then I decided I would keep my finger nails painted as a method to retrain myself out of chewing them. Eeeew, chewing them, even the phrase is gross. It turns out. It worked. Thought I said to my brother they still spend way too much time in my mouth.
The germs! Eeeew, the germs.
And now I have too many polishes with too many colours and too many strengtheners and top coats and base coats. They always say to replace one habit with a better, healthier version. I guess that’s what I’ve done. Either that or what really happened is that I found another medium for my sparkly, shiny things love to show up.
That’s probably more like it.
So now I have nails. A bag full of polishes and top coats and bases and all that stuff. I have an idea of the gunk that can accumulate under nails and I have something to do to pass the time when I can’t sleep at night. I think I’m better off. I’m pretty certain anyway.
What old habit have you swapped for a new habit?
Hi! I’m Suger; Chief Blogger at Suger Coat It. Blogging since 1901; love a casual ootd, taking photos + writing about things that irk or inspire me. I love wine and cheese, long days in the sun at the beach and spending time with my family. I make stuff for the internet. Which means I take photos, create content, write copy and devise social media plans for personal brands, small businesses and bloggers. You know, living the sweet life.
I still don’t have nails, they continue to break, tear, peel and on top of that, yesterday at work I got a chunk of one torn off when I caught it accidentally on the edge of the checkout touch screen. Bandaid time again. So I still don’t have a bag full of polishes of any colour. I’m so sad….I love polish.
Oh ouch!! I hope it heals quickly for you. 🙁
You can never have too much nail polish. As long as each colour is slightly different you’re right.
Haha. Absolutely!
I am the same! I’m going to be doing a post soon on all my nail polishes, before I box them for the move. It’s nice to have nails though, and it’s fun to have pretty coloured nails, such a simple pleasure!
Oh cool! I just keep doing a random post now and again showing off the new favourites. It IS such a simple pleasure. I’m watching mine dash around the keyboard now and it makes me happy!
Hee hee. I thought you meant Polish as in “from Poland” and I was like “wow, Suger has Polish heritage too!” (As well as me.) But now I get it. And maybe I should give the polish a go too – it has worked for me in the past and I do hate the look of my chewed nails…
Well, I do quite like the one Polish guy I’ve met. He was cool. Haha.
Try the polish, it works. It did for me anyway.
