Dating and Nail Polish

So, I've been meaning to post this for some time now, but, I confess, I forgot.

Personally, I think this is pretty cute and clever. And, no, it's not because I am slightly biased since I write for The eFlirt Expert. It's mostly because I am kind of obsessed with nail polish. Seriously, I always have mine painted and I think I have every single color under the rainbow and every variation of it. Anyone who's ever been around me in person knows that they are usually some kind of crazy funky color or pattern (I love that that's coming back). Case in point, right now I have each nail painted a different color. Apparently I'm channeling my inner Punky Brewster.

Anyhow, without further ado....

My Latest Obsession

I promise I'm not trying to make this a beauty blog or anything, but I have shared products here and there and, I mean, this is a blog about my life, so can we just take a minute to talk about my latest obsession?

Polka dot nails!!

Polka dot nails!!

OK. OK. I know, I am over 30 here but seriously. Anyone who knows me will tell you that I love those little stick on nail polish things that come in crazy patterns. And I've done polka dots before, but I tend to get tired of it after a couple of days. But this one is my favorite. I've had it on for the past couple of weeks and I just did it again yesterday.

Now, I can totally take credit for it. I saw a picture of it in a magazine and I figured I knew how to do polka dots already so it shouldn't be that hard. And, it wasn't. Though it looks like you spent hours doing it. I've actually had a lot of compliments.

So, if you like it too, here's how to do it:

Ingredients:

  • White nail polish (for the base)
  • Several other colors of nail polish (you can use as many as you want)
  • A paper clip (I like to use the big paper clips because my hands aren't exactly dainty)

Paint your nails white and let dry. Then take the paper clip, dip it in a color, and dot your nail. Then just repeat with the other colors. I usually put a little of each color on a plastic lid because it's easier to work with. The thing I like about this is it's easy if you have a shaky hand since it doesn't really matter where you put them. You can even put some of the dots on top of each other. Just keep going until you think it looks good. Once the dots are dry finish with a top coat. Definitely wait until they are dry though otherwise it will smear.

And now I will get back to writing about the crazy dates I've been on.
