This looks lovely on you. Just like you, I tend not to layer stuff. I tend to use polish shades as they are. I finally learned to layer per se when crackles came out. Still not a huge layering person now, but I’m more open to it for sure.

Michelle – I love walking in nature too!! Florida has some amazing trails and nature preserves! And I also love German Shepherds – both our dogs are teeny tiny, but Shepherds are the most loyal protective dogs ever. If we ever get a big dog, it will definitely be a sheppy.

christi – I think it depends on the individual. I’ve dropped a lot of money over the years on RBL and other comparably priced high end brands like Lippmann, Chanel and Dior. Since I have to be careful about how I spend my money I tend to either buy the things that I think are unique or polishes from the color families that I love. So for example, if one of those more expensive brands releases a color that is truly unique, I will get it. Conversely, if they release a color in a family I love, think anything green or blue, I will get it even if it is not unique. I do think RBLs have very good wear, but that wouldn’t be a reason to spend the extra dollars – but it definitely is worth it if you love the color. From this collection, without question I would have purchased Become One and Turn it Around. And possibly also Forgiveness, if I really wanted to treat myself with a splurge. The others, I think I would have hounded loved ones to get them for me as gifts, haha. (Which is a wonderful way to accumulate high end polishes because it’s a great gift that isn’t too expensive in the grand scheme of great gifts – just do like I do and drop hints like whoa.

Alicia – Your art teach sounds awesome! What’s Flashpoint? I’ve never heard of it (and I watch *a lot* of tv lol).

Anna – : P I really wish I could love exercising too. Haha. What sorts of books do you like to read? I’ve been reading some great stuff lately and I’m always looking for recommendations.

Neen – It does help a little but it won’t prevent it completely. Your best bet is to use a product called Bubble White available at Sally’s. When I remove a polish that has caused a lot of staining – it’s been miraculous. It also really helps to remove yellowing. I use it whenever I notice yellowing or color staining and my nails look great right now. I’m planning to post a review soon so keep an eye out.

Hobbies? I love reading mostly. Used to love cooking, but that one helped me gain some extra weight that won’t yet budge, so I’m kinda out of love with it now.
Crochet is fun, but my arthritis doesn’t like it. (Love to crochet while I watch tv.)

Wouldn’t life be great if you could really adore hobbies that were healthy and good for you? I know my doctor would be thrilled if I’d love exercise, but I just can’t work up any enthusiasm for it. At least we’re eating healthy. :)

For hobbies, I cook, run, workout, take photos, dabble in gardening, scrapbook, make cards, read a ton….

Catharine – Thanks so much! : )

Ronnie – Thanks to you and your BF! : P It’s really great to be back!

Magda – Thanks for catching that typo, I’ll correct it.
