New Love: Part 1

Feel free to thank me later. I am going to share a few of the things that I am loving in life lately.

For the first installment I am sharing the wonderful world of gel nail polish!
A friend of mine introduced me to gel polish in January. It has to be one of the most amazing things on the planet currently. I absolutely love having my nails polished, but it always seems they chip so quickly. One of the many amazing things about this miracle polish is that is does not chip EVER! I can do anything with this polish on my nails. It also dries instantly, the polish dries by UV light. However this means you can only get it done at nail salons. My nail salon has OPI products, so I get all the wonderful colors. The cost is only about $5 more than a regular manicure. You can expect the polish to last at least 2 weeks. You have a couple of options for removing you polish: go to the nail salon and have them soak the polish off, soak off at your house using nail polish remover, or peel off after about 3 weeks. I like the last option for some childish reason, if peels off in sheets (very fun).
I met some friends this evening to get our nails done. Two chose fun blues, one "cajun shrimp", and more me "aphrodite's pink nightie." That is what I love about OPI, all the fun names to go with the great colors.
If you are in the mood to treat yourself I would definitely recommend a gel manicure!
I am trying to stay true to my promise to blog more!
Keep your eyes peels for my next love:)
