Happy Monday Everyone!

I love me a good manicure!  What color??

I only do french in the summertime.  It's so clean looking and I keep my nails kind of short.  If I do wear color it's usually a light pink/rose color.

I pretty much stay to hot red colour on my toes (or the odd hot pink) and I never paint my finger nails. Its a "thing" I have... I have very healthy, strong long nails and I just can't stand that the salon girls never do it the way I want it done so I just don't get manicures. I know, I am weird...

I do red occasionally; usually around the Christmas holiday.   My fingers and toes have to match.   I have my nails done every two weeks and my toes done once a month April through October, I rarely get a pedicure in the winter.

Nope, not weird.  I do my own nails because I like the way I shape them and nobody does it the way I do.  LOL  I also have a "thing" for nail polish and buy it allll the time, which is good because I probably change my nail color 3 times a week.  I like Revlon Top Speed the most.  Today's color: Peachy.

My toes are Revlon's Fashionista, which is navy blue-ish. 

Recently found and became obsessed with Jamberry nail wraps that I can do myself. They don't chip and last for 2 weeks. PM me if you want more info... :)
