All my life I have been very fond of nail polish. However, in the past two years it has become such a part of my routine to constantly change my nail polish (more like every three days now that I live in New York. I don't know if it's because I live with girls who love painting their nails or if it's because I have more free time on my hands.). Anyhoo, the point of this story is that I really love nail polish. I love buying it, trying it on at the store before making the decision to buy it, choosing a color while getting a mani/pedi, mixing colors and patterns on my own....etc.
But yesterday was a day that will forever change my outlook on nail polish. My friend Vanessa introduced me to Calgel! I am seriously hooked. I chose a really awesome coral color with a muted gold glitter gradient starting from cuticle of my nail to the mid of my nail. I'm stoked to see how they will stand up against my daily tasks that usually fuck up my nail polish. Calgel is supposed to last up to 3 weeks without chips and also strengthen your nails, so this may be my new unnecessary addiction.
Sadly, this picture does not do my awesome new nails any justice. However, enjoy looking at a portion of my awesome 'Donald and Goofy on a random sailboat in the middle of a forest' mouse pad.
Doesn't it feel good?
nude + silver tips.
Dame, Amor, besos sin cuento,
asido de mis cabellos,
y mil y ciento tras ellos,
y tras ellos mil y ciento,
y despues,
de muchos millares, tres;
y porque nadie los sienta,
desbaratemos la cuenta
y contemos al reves.

I really need a trim.
I bought some new clothes while I was sick in the Valley. I went down a couple of sizes and everything I bought is fitted.
I guess I'm becoming a lady...
which could be exciting.
But I don't know if I'm ready to grow up.
