Glitter!

As I wrote yesterday, painting my nails has become my new hobby. What is my favorite shade? Anything sparkly! I may be nearly 27, but I don't see anything wrong with glitter nail polish at my age or any age. Life's too short not to enjoy it! Glitter makes me happy, so I wear it. End of story.


I've even gone so far as to make a few of my own glitter polishes, or "frankenpolishes." It's been a lot of fun to get the creative juices flowing! I've also become somewhat addicted to indie nail polish brands. They have amazing glitter creations that I could only dream of making myself. Etsy is my new happy place.

Of course, there are limits to glitter. I'm an attorney, and it's very important to look professional at times. I would never wear anything but the most neutral nail polish to court. But there is a time and place for everything, and I currently work in a casual office where I am comfortable wearing certain kinds of glitter nail polish depending on my schedule for the day. Of course, I keep a stash of nail polish remover pads in my desk in case something comes up.

Speaking of which, the only downside to glitter nail polish is that it's a pain to remove. But wiping down my nails with pads soaked in pure acetone is a necessary evil. As Jackie from the Real Housewives of Melbourne would say, shine shine shine!
