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 at the beach and spending time with my family. I make stuff for the internet; photos, create content, write copy and devise social media plans for personal brands, small businesses and bloggers. You know, living the sweet life.
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.
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!
You can never have too much nail polish. As long as each colour is slightly different you’re right.
Haha. Absolutely!
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. 🙁
