Making sure you have a healthy base should always be the focus, so here are a few tips to keeping your natural nails healthy.<br />
<br />
Number One: Don't cover up.<br />
If you have to wear fake nails (we all know there will be a time when our good ol' "bridezilla" friend will insist on her party to have the same tacky tips), try to keep them on for as little as possible.<br />
Acrylic nails really aren't good for the health of your nails. Just like you need air to stay up and running, your nails need fresh air to stay strong and pretty. I'm sure most of us have found out or seen from others the scary scene that are you real nails after having acrylics removed; bumpy, flaky, thin and discolored (not to mention it hurts!) If your nails need some toughening up, OPI makes great products for strengthening... you will be a lot happier in the long run if you can utilize the naturally given nails you have instead of paying some stranger who knows how much on a monthly basis to apply a bunch of harsh chemicals that suffocate your nails.<br />
<br />
Number Two: Push them, don't snip.<br />
Your cuticles are very sensitive and if handled improperly, can lead to some nasty and painful infections. Instead of automatically cutting the cuticles at the top, try moisturizing them very well (after the shower) with some cuticle oil then simply push them back. You can train your skin and nails in less time than you might think. If that doesn't sound worth your while, just go asking around about nail salon horror stories. The smallest cuts can snowball faster than one might think. If you have a hang nail or something of that nature, sure, tend to it but don't go over board. Moisturizing will do wonders on problems that usually stem from dry skin (Medline Remedy Skin Repair Cream and Bath and Body Works body butter are sure winners).<br />
<br />
Number Three: Buff it up.<br />
I like to lightly buff my nails about once a month (no more frequent). Lightly buffing your nails once or every other month stimulates blood flow to the nail bed which in turn causes stronger nails to grow. I might not be correct on this one, but I have also heard it makes nails grow faster as well. If you have trouble keeping a "shiny nail" even with a clear top coat, one reason might be due to ridges in your nail. The smoother your nails are the shinier they look.<br />
<br />
Number Four: Take a break.<br />
After every few polishes, I like to go au naturale for a little just to make sure my nails get to totally breath freely. Like I stated above, your nails need fresh air. Polish on your natural nails are nothing like acrylics, but it does still block complete air flow. Giving them a little breather now and then is always advisable and can prevent fungus.<br />
Gross personal story alert! My Mom once wore a super dark polish on her toes for too long and wound up spending almost a year trying to get rid of a nail fungus that if not treated could make your whole nail fall off. Not to mention the money spent in treating her nail was much much higher than the polish. Even if you're an economist and you factor in your time spent, she still would have come out on top had she taken off the polish and let her nails breath.<br />
<br />
There are WAY more things that you can do to keep your little lovelies happy and healthy, these 4 tips are just things I do on a normal basis.<br />
If you have more in depth questions about a nail problem you or a friend are dealing with, feel free to comment on this post with your question. If I don't know the answer off the top of my head or through Google, there are a lot of great nail techs on OPI's FB page that I would be happy to ask. (My girl, Katie W. is such a pro! She even recently helped my boyfriend's Mom with a nail problem).<br />

Such a great and classic line from one of the most beloved movies of all time, and what a fantastic color to boot!! This was one color on my Christmas list that I was overjoyed to find in my stocking :).<br />

I'm sure some of you thought I had done away with my blog, but have no fear!!! It was just a little Holiday Hiatus :). Now that 2011 is in full swing, its time your nails do the same. I'm sure some got put on the back burner with all of the festivities, but bring your nails back with a bang!!<br />
<br />
Santa brought a few surprises this year, so I will try to post all of the new polishes in my collection!<br />
This color is one of my favorites. I decided to throw this bad boy on when the fall colors were becoming too repetitious. Not that I don't love those deep and dark colors, I was just feeling a little nostalgic for the summer-time fun. (Not to mention they were a prefect color compliment to a new pair of heels I just purchased :-D ).<br />
<br />
Again, welcome back and hopefully you can share and receive some great nail tips/colors for the new and exciting year.<br />

Hopefully everyone in the states had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday, and your nails made it through all of that cooking and mingling. Keeping on the subject, mine did not :(. I can't begin to explain how sad I was with the condition of my nails, but when working at a job that sees its busiest times during the holidays... you don't get too much down time to preen. Working 13 hour days up until the day before the fat turkey sings is quite the downer especially when you wake up on the day of Thanksgiving to half of your color on one nail totally chipped off and no time to fix it. Someone had to make the green bean casserole!<br />
<br />
Aaaaannnyway!! Like I said, I hope you all experienced a different situation and your nails were the shining stars this past week. To change my sad demeanor (once I actually had time to paint away), I decided to go with a color that was keeping with fall hues yet had some spice to it. Surely others have done this, but I just needed a pick-me-up! What better way to do that than paint your nails with this color. It's so fabulous and the name truly does suit the color.<br />

It has been three days since my last polish. Horrible??? Right!? As much as it pains me, I'd say it was well worth it. Instead of doing my nails yesterday, I got to go to the opera and it was BEAUTIFUL!<br />
However, a busy schedule does not mean you can't plan ahead!! To appease my needy digits, I rollled all three days into one session; three different style all in one day! Let's see if you can find the re-occurring theme (ok.... if you're unable to see it... maybe glasses should be your next purchase :) )<br />
Here they are!<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
This style is somewhat similar to the second step of the tri-color nail, except I make that corner even smaller. I might try doing it even less next time :)<br />

Depending on which angle you're viewing the nail, it can be quite the challenge to figure out just how many colors you have on. (Try layering even more colors than just two!)<br />

It may seem overly fanatical that I catalog my nail polish, and now that I'm looking at my list I feel like its too short ;). I digress... You may say "Liz! You're O.C.D". Which is when I might look you dead in the eye, memories flowing through them like a river... I begin to tell my grim tale.<br />
<br />
It was in the wee hours of the morning on a hot southern Georgia summer night that two strange thieves stole into the townhouse I shared with my lovelies, Chelsea and Tom. Tom was out enjoying the shenanigans one young college boy might run into with fellow peers, and Chelsea was a meer door over at the neighbors enjoying a graduation celebration for our close friend and neighbor, Antuan. Where was I, you ask? After spending time next door enjoying the festivities, I decided to call it an early night and enjoy a good restful sleep in my bed on the third floor. (My days of going out four nights a week and staying up until 4am were apparently behind me).<br />
<br />
Before I actually tell you the sheer terror that is the climax of this story, let me take you through a rather precise description of these wrongdoers.<br />
*Female: Short, thin, crazy eyes, most likely owning t-shirts air-brushed at a carnival and what looked like possibly voyeuristic.<br />
*Male: Possible "little person" with noodle limbs and an egg head, over sized duvet-ish looking black jacket and Junco Jeans, crazy eyes matching his counterpart, also possibly voyeuristic.<br />
*Both: Likely crack heads.<br />
<br />
These "wonderful" specimen were unknowingly to all other guests at the party... crashers. The neighbors thought they were friends of guests and vice versa. So there I was, sleeping sound while the thieves in question waltzed straight into our townhouse and took what they pleased.<br />
"Oh, NO!" You might say. "What did these putrid degenerates take??!"<br />
I will tell you what they took; Half. Of. My. OPI. Collection. I will let you take a moment to collect yourselves.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I did not have this catalog of polish when they stole half of my heart. Some are discontinued, and as much as it pains me to admit... some I just can't remember the names. If I had done this before the "crack head home invasion", I would have been able to be reunited with more of my babies.<br />
So there you have it, folks. The reasoning behind my catalog (and a good one at that). I truly hope this results in a "scared straight" realization for those of you who hold your OPI as close as myself. You never know when the nail polish intruders will come to your door and "snatch yo people up". So, hide yo list, hide yo bottles, and hide yo husbands too...<br />

Hopefully you have all watched my little tutorial. Again, sorry about the sound delay and that it's in parts but if anyone knows how to fix those things (no, I don't have a Mac :( ) Please please feel free to comment!! This is my finished product from the tutorial!<br />

My thought process behind this was for my amazing boyfriend who is a former collegiate swimmer for Michigan. He loves blue (he wears it all the time) and was constantly in the water, so I thought it might be nice to do colors that he would really appreciate :). I also did all blue because I told you guys how "blue" I was when the videos weren't working. Maybe all I needed to do was match my mood, then the fates would let me have things my way ha!

Alright... So try after try after TRY, I can't get the sound to match up but honestly at this point, I'm spent :(. You can still hear everything and see everything so I'm just throwing my nails up and hoping you guys will still watch!! Here is part two. BTW... I'm not actually cross eyed haha.

COME SEE HOW GOOD I LOOK! If you don't know what that's from, please stop reading my blog. (just kidding... but seriously...)<br />
<br />
Here it is!!! My water marbling tutorial!!!! I recorded the tutorial in parts so that it would download properly, and so that I could show you a straight on view and aerial view of the process. I really hope you all enjoy this because it sure did take quite some effort in getting everything to work!! (this whole process has shown me how horribly technically UNsavvy I really am ) <br />
<br />
Ok, part 1 with the rest to come very shortly!!!J.

I am very sad right now because (in my opinion) it was a really good video that took you guys through the whole process. Maybe I need to be faster... I don't know. Anyway I'm in a blue mood because of that :(. Even though I can't figure out how to properly post the video, I can at least show you the marbling that I did for the video. Sorry guys... better luck next time!!<br />

Some might think that would be a totally reasonable option for me because I do my nails multiple times per week, but if you already have a color on, why repeat it... right??? Some of you may disagree, and I totally understand the logic behind bringing an outfit together, so when it happens (by chance) I can't say I mind.<br />
<br />
Even though I'm not a huge follower of the whole "matchy-matchy" deal, there are still some fun ways to match your manicure. (Keep in mind, this is all my personal opinion. I'm sure any choice is the right one as long as you like the way you look).<br />
<br />
Number one: Try not to over use the color you're matching. As you can see in the picture my polish only matches one item of clothing. Personally, I feel when you get tooo matchy matchy (in my eyes) you start to resemble any fruit of that color. (example: blueberry, apple, banana, you get the drift).<br />
<br />
Number two: Try a slightly different shade of what you're matching. My polish has more of a pink/red tone than the skirt which is nice if you don't want your nails or article to get drowned out. You want people to notice that your nails and article of clothing are two separate things :)<br />
<br />
Last but certainly not least... I always like to throw in a small splash of color that doesn't show up anywhere else in the outfit to avoid the whole fruit doppelganger effect. In this case, my fun little birdie ring :)<br />

I LOVE Funky Dunkey, but painting your nails back to the color you just had on??? Nahhh. Since I'm still in a purple mood, I chose Pamplona Purple.<br />
<br />
Let me be clear... This. Color. Is. A-ma-zing!! It's definitely my favorite purple that I own, and also one of my favorite colors in my collection.J.

Well, I have and their AWESOME! OPI posted on their Facebook page that they are holding a water marbling competition and that the winner gets one of those famed bejeweled t-shirts!! I have recently immersed myself into this little technique, and I have got to say it's a lot of fun! This picture is on the last post, but since I did this today, I wanted to give it a little more attention and possibly notify anyone who didn't know about the competition!<br />
<br />
I didn't choose the colors for their common themed names, but sometimes it just works out that way :)<br />

This will bring us up to present and then hopefully I can start writing a caption or few with each picture to take you through the possible process, or just what I happened to be thinking when buying or apply the little gem of color.<br />
If by some amazing miracle, someone looks at my blog and wants to know the color names of these past pictures, please comment and I will let you know. I would just take too long now and I want to get all caught up :). <br />

Recently I was contacted by OPI to be a part of their 2011 calendar. Naturally I freaked out and jumped through the ceiling out of sheer bliss that the company that feeds my obsession would seek me out! After the roofing company left (my first joke ha) and speaking to a really nice girl that works for OPI (YOU ARE SO LUCKY!!!), she suggested that I start a nail blog. (The lights turn on and the heavens open up) huh.... how come I never thought of that? So here I am, a 23 year old young lady hopelessly obsessed with OPI sharing my love with all of you. So, there you have it. Ok, lets get this bad boy started!<br />
<br />
The pictures I will be posting will be pictures I have posted on FB in the past until we get caught up with present time. Ya know, these OPI people really have it down. I made an album on FB but never thought to have my own blog... way to go guys!<br />
Lets start off with my collection (which has grown since being taken. I will update in the near future)<br />
