Manicures, Polish Hoarding, and Swatchicles

June 26, 2012 by Michelle 1 Comment

I painted my nails for the first time in several months (horrors, I know) last week.  I had a function to go to and COULD NOT show up with naked nails.  After much deliberation, I decided on my very favorite polish – Chanel Peridot.  The last time I wore this polish it chipped badly within a day or two.  But this time I’ve had a lot more luck with it, and almost a week later it’s still going strong.  This could be because I now have my nails cut super short.  Since taking off the acrylics, my nails are horribly thin and flexible.  I miss my acrylics!  Of course, if I could get my nails to grow strong again, I’d be just as happy with them.  But, anyway, I’m very happy my Peridot is lasting this time.  It really is a gorgeous color, and I’m so glad I gifted it to myself last summer.

It’s been awhile since I purchased new polish too.  Back in May, I was tempted (and caved) by the China Glaze Hunger Games polishes.  It was so hard to narrow down my pile of must-haves, but I ended up with three: Smoke and Ashes, Agro, and Luxe and Lush.

I like Smoke and Ashes, but I wish the subtlety of the color showed up better.  Of course, it looked good with the book I also picked up back in May. I’ll have to see if I can get a better photo when I wear it next time.

And Agro was really beautiful on.  I wish I’d gotten a better photo of it, but you get the idea on the color.

I haven’t tried my Luxe and Lush yet, but I think I may when the Peridot begins showing wear.

And this weekend, I got to take a look through a friend’s swatchicles.  I really love the idea of doing this with my polish stash.  What a great way to compare colors!  I’ll have to think about doing this.  I think the first thing I need to do for sure is get out my polish and do a little organizing.

    Swatchicles! Full of awesome. I need to take my swatch wheels and convert them to swatchicles.

    Have you used the Luxe and Lush? I haven’t yet, but the youngest DD did and said it is fabulous. She’s at a conference and said all the girls have commented to her on it. Forgot to ask what she put it over.

Fifteen years. Happy anniversary, my love. ♥️ Fifteen years.  Happy anniversary, my love. ♥️

You cannot possess me for I belong to myself.  But while we both wish it, I give you that which is mine to give.
 
You cannot command me, for I am a free person.  But I shall serve you in those ways you require and the honeycomb will taste sweeter coming from my hand.
 
I pledge to you that yours will be the name I cry aloud in the night and the eyes into which I smile in the morning.
 
I pledge to you the first bite of my meat and the first drink from my cup.
 
I pledge to you my living and dying, each equally in your care.
 
I shall be a shield for your back and you for mine.
 
I shall not slander you, nor you me.
 
I shall honor you above all others, and when we quarrel, we shall do so in private and tell no strangers our grievances.
 
This is my wedding vow to you.
 
This is the marriage of equals.
