Fabu Blog: The Polish Addict

Got another site to share with you all.

First some background.  I have a new obsession (to add on to my existing obsession to handbags and shoes): nail polish.  Blame it Rihanna, but I’m all over the “interesting nail polish color” thing.

So, I was looking for a nice (non-neon) yellow polish and did my usual Google search.  I found that Chanel has a new “pop-art” shade collection called “Robertson Boutique“, which includes ‘LA Sunrise‘, a gorgeous shimmery yellow.

I like Chanel’s nail polishes.  I’d had Black Satin and Ballerina for a while now and loved those so I figured what the hell, why not on LA Sunrise.  Well, at $25.00/bottle, um, no thanks (sidebar: some sellers on eBay want upwards of $40.00!!! What are they smoking?!  I got my Black Satin and Ballerina from a duty-free shop while traveling so trust and believe I did NOT pay $25 bucks–tee hee!  Sadly, I just learned that Chanel has pulled all beauty items, except fragrances, from all duty-free locations.  Le sigh.. another reason to for me to dislike top-tier design houses.  But I digress.)

So while searching soft yellow polishes, I landed on The Polish Addict.

Girls, I love this blog!  I bookmarked it immediately.  Written by “Pretear” (a law student–you go girl!) she offers an extremely well-written informative blog on nothing but nail polish and has fantastic pictures/swatches to go along with her commentary.  Her pics are fab and can I just say I LOOOOOOOOOVE her nails!!?!

I was so inspired by Pretear’s nails that I even wrote to her to ask her if her nails were wrapped and/or if she had any nail advice to share (I have the weakest nails known to man) and she told me her nails are 100% natural and that she just keeps them polished at all times and uses glass nail files (I didn’t even know glass nail files EXISTED!  I got me one yesterday *smile* hee hee!).  Pretear also mentioned cuticle oils (which I always use too) and handcreme (I’m lotion obsessed already

All in all, if you love nail polish as much as I do, or even if you’re curious about certain shades check The Polish Addict out.  You won’t regret it.  (Polished) pinky swear!

p.s. Oh, in the end I decided to buy Yellow Fever and Bikini Bottom by Rescue Beauty Lounge ($18.00/bottle).  It came in the mail today!  Will post about it this week   Stay tuned!

(Thanks Pretear!)
