When people treat themselves to little splurges like buying makeup or getting a manicure, during a bad economy, it's referred to as The Lipstick Index. Sometimes I wonder if this term was coined because of my friends. Day after day we complain how broke we are, how we need to save, and how we need to make a LOT more money. Yet, week after week, we shop for clothes (now at H&M instead of Intermix), purchase new make up (now Rimmel London over Laura Mercier), and meet for drinks and "appetizers" instead of a four course meal. But, like any female, one thing we cannot adjust is the importance of maintaining our nails. So, instead of spending $40 on a mani/pedi (yes, it's $40 because who actually says no to the extra 10 minute 'massag-ie'), why don't you make some small tiny investments and learn how to primp and preen your own nails! Here are some of my favorite colors for the fall!
(OPI, I Break For Manicures)
(Chanel, Particuliere)
(Chanel, Black Pearl)
(Essie, Bobbing For Baubles)
(Essie, Merino Cool)
(Essie, Carry On)
(Essie, Lapis of Luxury)
*Very important side note, always use a clear top coat when dry. My favorite is Essie, Good To Go.
**Very Very important side note, WHO comes up with nail polish names and HOW do I get that job??
