I was pretty basic...nothing or something raspberry (my favorite color).

I can't even imagine having long nails now though, they would drive me crazy! It's weird to think about life before my nail polish obsession lol.Caitlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00296079489365103888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8464987304149443821.post-9412127679901465162010-06-29T05:42:20.850-04:002010-06-29T05:42:20.850-04:00I actually like the simpleness of that SH colour. ...I actually like the simpleness of that SH colour. There's something wonderful about simplicity. :) You haven't been blogging/crazy about np for that long, yet you have so many dedicated followers and you're now so popular!<br /><br />I can't really pinpoint when my love with np began, I used to be quite indifferent like you- a few colours, painted nails now and then...I think maybe it was when I discovered ulta3 on vogue forums which opened me up to the possibility of various brands and an infinite number of beautiful colours!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8464987304149443821.post-14999885702596190352010-06-28T21:06:48.648-04:002010-06-28T21:06:48.648-04:00Shiny- I'm glad you back into it!

I really want to try water marbling, but I have a feeling it won't turn out so great.<br /><br />Tanya-Cool! Maybe they snuck something in those polishes that got us addicted!<br /><br />ABOP- I'm glad you rediscovered your love! 600?!? That's a lot, no worries. I'm sure I'll get there soon enough I'm slightly past 300 now :P<br /><br />Deanna- I remember those Klutz books! I never had the nail one, but I had the one for hair. Cute story :)<br /><br />jbrobeck- I hear you. I had no idea there were beauty blogs out there. It's weird how something now that seems so common people don't even know about. I still come across nail polish blog to this day that have hundreds/thousands of followers that I never knew about.<br /><br />Choas- I know what you mean before I started blogging and had "blogger dashboard". I bookmarked every single blog I read it was a HUGE list and it took me hours to go through daily. I'm glad you got into nail polish. I really enjoy your blog!<br /><br />Bec- Ruby Pumps would definitely ignite an nail obsession for many people!Stephanie Merlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04600557762841800023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8464987304149443821.post-36268634073019430012010-06-28T20:37:53.829-04:002010-06-28T20:37:53.829-04:00Mine started about a year or so ago.

It never occured to me that I should look for it online, so I kept going back just for that colour and at $50 a time, it was a pretty exprensive habit. So I googled and found blogs and brands like CG, Colour Club, OPI.

I got interested in nail polish in ...Pretty color!<br /><br />I got interested in nail polish in January, when I was reading around my hair forum, and someone had a picture of Mad as a Hatter in their signature. I googled it and like...fell into a rabbit hole of nail polish blogs. I swear, I didn't go to sleep at a godly hour for that whole month...I would just read the whole night and soak up all the information I could. When February came, I started buying some colors, because it was my birthday. I only meant to buy a little, but I couldn't stop. It only got worse (or better, considering your viewpoint) from there. ^_^The Phalanges Friendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05876817563424417251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8464987304149443821.post-45046851819458556762010-06-28T16:53:52.024-04:002010-06-28T16:53:52.024-04:00what got me into polish: it takes FOREVER to dry ...what got me into polish: it takes FOREVER to dry my hair, so i have gotten in the habit of drying in my office in front of the computer. i used to poor over the sephora website for hours... believe me i knew more than the poor SA's did. i also read sports (football, really) blogs on ESPN.com. one day i wondered if there were BEAUTY BLOGS... low and behold I found Karen's makeup and beauty blog, which led me to Scrangie, which led me to MUA and the NB.

The book itself had freehand nail art designs in it, which I thought was cool. I was pretty much hooked after that. :)Deannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06179891218265326897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8464987304149443821.post-34572168606362441682010-06-28T13:46:34.663-04:002010-06-28T13:46:34.663-04:00Hey, I blogged about that very same mini recentlty...Hey, I blogged about that very same mini recentlty! Amazing how such a tiny bottle of liquid can hold so much influence, huh?<br />I've loved polish since I was a pre-teen, but my mom wouldn't let me wear any till I was about 14. I was in a different country then and couldn't get many color choices. In and after college, I stocked up, but my love waned and my stash of 200 or so languished for years. I rediscovered my love for polish last year - after someone on a sewing blog I frequent showed an awesome color (China Glaze - For Audrey). I never bought that color, but my stash has swelled to over 600 since then (I know, I need help), and I'm loving it!ABOP Laquerlovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09941561809869575754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8464987304149443821.post-87894201103219107572010-06-28T13:30:01.491-04:002010-06-28T13:30:01.491-04:00It's pretty much the same exact story for me! ...It's pretty much the same exact story for me!

Ever since that moment I always put nail polish on but now I know how to move in order not to mess up my manicure.Rebiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06754841612501935996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8464987304149443821.post-56667836722266064702010-06-28T12:44:48.940-04:002010-06-28T12:44:48.940-04:00That's a nice color! :)

Dunno why I stopped, but years later I was reading a forum and they had a topic about polish, and it started to itch again. <br />Now it's about a year later, I always wear polish and I love it! :)Bregjehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07576213311423107561noreply@blogger.com
