Fun Summer Mani!!

Hi again! Today I wanted to share my new manicure that's perfect for Summer! I used my Butter London basecoat first and then painted two coats of Essie's new color Camera from their poppy-razzi collection! This color is a neon of course that is between a red and a coral. It has a creamy formula yet has a jelly-type finish. I LOVE jellies! Jellies are polishes that when they go on they look squishy and juicy! Like fruit! Or well, like jelly. Lol. I then put one of my Indie polishes on top of Camera. It is from the Etsy shop of AllThatGlitters and is called Hole-Hearted. It's so pretty! It's a clear base with small black hexagons and pretty white hearts! It stands out and pops against this neon color! I finished off my mani with a top coat of Sally Hansen Insta-Dri! Thanks to my fellow polish lover and great friend Daphne for telling me about this awesome top coat!! I'll let the pictures do the rest of the talking! Goodnight all!

First Post!!

Hi everyone! I am so excited to have my own blog now to post all my excitement for my nail polish!! I have about 145 bottles at the moment and my collection continues to grow! I used to keep all of my bottles in a dresser drawer but that became too small so I took a trip to IKEA in the ATL and bought my first helmer!! You can get one for yourself here:

So I bought my helmer and now all of my polish "babies" have a new home! People make fun of me or tell me that I have a problem but I really don't care because polish is a great way to express myself! I paint my nails about twice a week and I love all types of colors! Neons are my FAVORITE! I have brands in my collection such as:
