Taste the rainbow.

Brightly colored nail polish is in and my fingers are ecstatic. I remember being 10 and loving to rock blue nail polish everyday. It flew under the radar since then, but it's finally back. And thank God because I was sick of unoriginal, cherry red and gothic maroon. Sure, the nail polish makes me look like I'm 10 again, but it adds attitude, accessory, and POP to a simple outfit and compliments an already bright look. Of course it doesn't help that I am completely inept at painting nails, so it looks like a 4 year old got a hold of my nails regardless of color...but I'll just hope I'm the only one with that problem.

There are definitely people who don't understand the appeal to a rainbow selection of lovely nail polish. For example, the ladies who gave me a pedicure while laughing, pointing, and gossiping in Chinese about my Sally Hansen "blue me away" toenails. But forget them because I like when my nails look like an Easter egg. It's summery, youthful, and the color a girl chooses is a reflection of her personality. What could be better?

The irony of it all is that I spend unspeakable amounts of money on nail polish. The prices individually are affordable, but it adds up when I get a new bottle every time I go into a drug store. I never go with the purpose of buying nail polish, but the bright colors are alluring and always draw me in. I end up picking my favorite color out of the array of options, painting all of my nails, and finally purchasing it as I realize that I will have nothing to touch up my nails with when they chip if I don't actually own the color. I usually get so distracted that I leave the store joyously with my freshly painted nails and accompanying bottle, and I'm half way home before it hits me that I completely forgot about buying what I originally went to the store for. The moral of the story is that nail polish is generally more affordable for those who have better self control than I do (which shouldn't be too difficult to achieve.)

So what do I suggest? Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Nail Color. At only 2.99 a pop, I can't help but notice that 5 bottles would cost just 15 dollars...

This price is much cheaper than other brands that provide the same colors. In fact, I think Sally may just have more of a selection. With 30 different choices, including "Green with Envy" and "Virtual Violet," there is no need for any other collection.

Here are some of my favorites!
