For a long time I avoided having my picture taken, partially mostly due to the way I felt about my weight. One thing you may have noticed in pictures no my blog is that I always have my nails done. It’s my me thing – every two weeks I get them done at a local shop. The only nail polish I will use is OPI. I have tried others and they just don’t shine or last as well as OPI. Recently I decided that I will do my own nails, to save some money until hubby is working again. Just because I won’t be getting my nails done in the shop doesn’t mean have to sacrifice on the quality of my nail polish. OPI is available for anyone to purchase, from either the OPI or the Nicole BY OPI line. Check out their holiday offerings.

MY THOUGHTS
I received samples of all of the colors in both holiday collections. The colors are, as always, fantastic and vivid! I haven’t had enough time to actually wear them all but my favorite colors looking at all of the bottles are Stuck In The Chimney from Nicole By OPI Holiday Magic Collection and Show It And Glow It from the OPI Burlesque Collection. I can’t wait to try out all of the colors. Since I’ll be doing my nails at home I’ll even be prettifying my toenails! These would be great stocking stuffers for the lady (or ladies) in your life.

Are you going to be offering up any samples? I am like you, my nails are my one treat. But I am lucky as it is usually 4-5 weeks before I need fills. I think because I have Multiple Sclerosis and they just don't grow as fast. I love having them decorated, but am too cheap to pay a dollar a nail to have it done. So I have actually gotten very good at decorating them myself. But I like getting the initial polish done with my own and not the shops. Mainly because if I need to do touch ups, I can do so myself.. Thanks for letting us know to be on the lookout for some new shades..
