China Glaze

I am a nail polish addict. I blame my grandmother. We had the blessing of attending the same church, and growing up, every Sunday afternoon was spent at Grandma's. Two of us grandkids were allowed to ride with our grandparents to their house and back and oh how we loved it! An especially wonderful thing to do on those Sunday afternoons was to help Grandma pick out her dress to wear for Sunday evening church, and then paint our nails accordingly. Every dress had a specific color to go along with it, and every Sunday Grandma and I painted our nails. How beautiful and grown up I felt walking into church with my perfectly polished nails. (Grandma never ever got the polish on my skin.) And so began my love of nail polish. There is just something about having pretty nails that makes me not care that my hair is thrown into a ponytail 24/7 and I didn't take have the time to apply make up.

Enter China Glaze into my life two years ago. A polish that keeps it's shine until you take it off, a polish that lasts longer than any other brand I've tried, including other salon grade, very expensive, polishes. It's not available at department stores, only hair/beauty stores, but it's about the same price as the department store polishes. (I normally pay $5 a bottle at Sally's.) Needless to say, I highly recommend this polish. Pictured is my favorite shade of red, "Salsa". When I wear it, I'm pretty sure it gives me the ability to conquer the world.
