If I am addicted to any one thing, it would be nail polishes BAR NONE. My obsession started back in the fourth grade when I acquired my first set of claire's nail polishes. And as the saying goes, "...the rest was history." Now, nearly a decade later, you can say that I have amassed quite the collection of nail laquers. From mattes and metallics to cremes and even straight up GLITTER polishes, I have tried them all. I guess my love for painting my nails stems from my earlier artistic childhood. I have never had a manicure and I don't plan too in the near future. For me, painting my nails serve almost as a therapudic form of relaxtion. weird huh? Anyway, I would like to share the nail polishes that have been on rotation on my fingers for the past month. (I'll do an all-time favorites post once I can wrap my head around what my all-time favorites are. haha)

Dark nail polishes are my absolute favorite type of nail polishes. I've gone through more bottles of black that I would have liked. But lately, I have not even touched my regular standby black polishes. Instead, I've been LOVING dark blues and purples. OPI's Russian Navy in matte (the regular one is great too) is currently my favorite dark polish. Although matte polishes do not generally last as long as regular glossy ones do (they last about 4 days without chipping), the color is more vibrant (for russian navy) and it feels more lightweight.

It is not until this year when I finally decide to try creme colors. In the summer after I saw one of my style icons Alexa Chung sporting jade green nails, something came over me. So instead of buying Chung's chanel nail polish, I opted for a less expensive version. Essie's Mint Candy Apple is the PERFECT minty green/ baby blue hue. I will definately be picking up more pastel shades in the future, espescially since spring is just around the corner! I have my eye on Done Out in Deco by OPI next-its the most irresistable shade of lilac.

Here is another creme polish that I am head over heels for. China Glaze's Fifth Avenue is the perfect pink nail polish. Not a lot of people give China Glaze polishes the credit that it deserves, but I actually really like this brand. The brush is smaller than OPI's (which is a plus since my nails are always kept short) and its a couple of dollars cheaper too. Currently this is my favorite nail polish and I might have to get a second bottle. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!

How can I do a post about nail polishes without mentioning any of my favorite reds? Red polishes is a classic to anyone's collection and a staple in mine. Essie's Double Indemnity a perfect example of the classic red. To be honest, I bought this color after watching a film noir movie of the same name in class. (which is a great noir movie) But I fell in LOVE with this polish. It's one of the best reds out there (perfect for any femme fatale) and it glides on so smooth! I might have to buy a second bottle of this one too.
