Nudy Nails
I'm a fan of really light, understated nails, especially during the Summertime. I'm also very fickle with nail polish purchases and have been known to disregard a bottle after just one use. At $7-10 a bottle for OPI or Essie, this bad habit of mine won't be economically feasible for very long.
Forever 21 Love & Beauty Polish to the rescue! The other day, I came across a pretty color that's right up my alley. It's simply named 'Beige.' Love that - it's $2.80 and straight to the point. Here's Miss Beige in action:

Get to Work!!!
It's seldom that I let my work & home life overlap, but this time, there's good reason for it. My agency is doing some research on the subtleties of women and beauty (though as my company president puts it, there's nothing subtle about women & beauty), and put together this quick 10 question survey:

On a closing note, check out the cute nail polish I scooped up from Forever 21 over the weekend - simply named Purple. After making an exchange, I was left with a .30cent store credit and quickly grabbed this bottle from one of the little bins so manipulatively placed by the cash register. Lucky for me, it ended up being a very wearable color, and perfect for Easter.

Super (Bowl) Nails
How can it possibly be Monday already? Weekends always fly by but this one went by even quicker with Super Bowl Sunday in the mix. I should have done my nails in black & gold in honor of the winning team (my fellow Trojan Reggie & the Saints won New Orlean's first Super Bowl ever!). But truth be told, these nails were done well before the bowl game was underway.
I thought I was pretty clever with this self-mani because I did my left hand late Saturday night, let it dry, then did my right hand when I woke up Sunday morning. This meant my left hand was completely dry before I even attempted to paint my right hand. And now that I'm saying this out loud, it doesn't seem like quite the ground-breaking technique I thought it was, but still, it made for an easier application with my weaker hand.
I got this polish as a free gift with purchase at Forever 21 a few months ago. As you can see, it looks drastically different in daylight, flourescent lights, bathroom lights, aquarium lights and barely any light.
