I have decided to do a project polish this year in the attempt to use up my huge nail polish collection, which I will have updated photos of that coming soon. I have 5 polishes in my project and this will be a rolling project. So, as I use up a polish, I will replace it with something similar in the color family or what makes sense seasonally. If anyone else is doing this project, please leave a link to your blog below. I’d love to follow!

These are my polishes in my project pan. I have a L’Oreal glitter, three Julep ones, and a Sally Hansen. The baby lavender is good for the Winter and Spring. The bright texture pink polish is good for Spring and Summer. The orange and navy are great Fall colors and who doesn’t love a good glitter?! I have been loving the pampering Monday nights of painting my nails, which I have done three times now. If I can remember to take pics, I will show you on Mondays. 🙂

L’Oreal Glitter Polish in 605 Sparklicious

My plans for this polish is to use it up. It will probably take me to the end of the year to do so, but I want to see how it looks as a polish on its own. Maybe, this won’t take too long to finish that way. It is 0.39 fl oz, which is 0.11 fl oz less than a standard bottle. Maybe, I can finish it off!

Julep Nail Color in 2086 Bombshell Gloria

These have almost half the amount of a full size at 0.27 fl oz. I feel like that this going to be a favorite summer color. I don’t own too many oranges, but it is a color that I want to wear more off. I like it better than red and gives me a break from pink.

Julep Nail Color in 2282 American Beauty Amy

I’m going to be putting this on all of my fingers Monday with maybe a coat of glitter. This cool navy blue is a good Winter color. I’m gonna prep the nails tonight with some cuticle oil for polish tomorrow night. I had a week off this past week from polish. My nails need to breathe every two to three weeks of constant polish.

Julep Nail Color in 4328 IT Girl Carla

Carla had never been worn before this project. I absolutely love this color now. It is super pretty! I think this will be the first polish to go out of the group. It is very versatile and I am sure that I will be painting them this color soon again for Valentine’s Day. It is an unexpected color. I just wish it pulled more lavender.

Sally Hansen Sugar Coat in 700 Cotton Candies

I love a good texture polish and this one does not disappoint. I will be buying thinner, because this was SO THICK when I used it the other week. I want to try to use up every last drop of my gooey nail polishes this year or as much as I can. Sometimes, when you throw thinner in, it still doesn’t work or you ruin the texture part of it.

I will see you all real soon for the February update. This intro post got up SUPER late.

I gave my feet a pampering treatment yesterday complete with a foot soak and clay feet mask. It totally softened up my feet and got rid of the build up of dead skin from wearing high heels. I decided to complete the spa day by giving myself a special pedicure. While I am sitting at my computer sipping my first glass of wine since turning twenty-one, I thought that I would share how I got my pedicure done. And yes, it took me two months before I tried a drink and boy was it disgusting! I had to put sugar in it, in order not to waste it.

A closer up view:

How-To:

1. Clear toe nails of polish.

2. Put cuticle oil or cream on nails and wait five minutes for it to soak in and soften up the cuticle.

3. Trim nails and file them into desired shape.

4. Keeping up with the mint trend this summer, do two coats of Avon Nailwear Pro in Sweet Mint.

5. For something a bit different but simple, add half moons in two coats of Avon Nailwear Pro in Loving Lavender.

I do not add any base coat or top coat to my toe nails, because I find that they last for a really long time either way. Doing base d top coats doesn’t make a huge difference with my toes. They are unnecessary steps for me. Do these steps and you’ll have totally cute summer nails like me that are easy to do and people are always impressed by them.
