I finally did it!

I broke down and started a blog! I'm always taking pictures of pretty much everything, so why not chronicle my exploits?


So, a little bit about me... I'm a 29-year-old, almost 30!, attorney. I'm married and have 2 kitties that think they are people. I love photography, even though I'm not very good at it yet. I like to read (a lot), watch films (both silly and works of art), bake gluten free (when I can), collect nail polishes, look at shoes (even though I can't buy them), and play music (I have a bass guitar that I'm attempting to learn so I can play with my hubby who plays guitar). I'm on a journey to get healthy, both mentally and physically, so I will probably have a little bit of that on the blog as well. I think that pretty much sums me up!


Let's start this party off by checking out my current mani! I'm wearing Pretty & Polished Cheer Camp. Pretty & Polished is an indie brand started by the lovely Chelsea who sells her hand-made polishes on Etsy. You can find her store here. Check her facebook and twitter pages for updates on restocks.


I had a client meeting yesterday, so I didn't think it would be very appropriate to wear something super blingy, so I chose Cheer Camp. It is a very subdued and girly polish. From far away, you can't even tell it has glitter, which makes it very work appropriate. Hey, wait! Can glitter polish ever be work appropriate?!? Why don't you tell me?



This is three coats topped with Gelous and Seche Vite. This is going on day 3 with very minimal tip wear and, surprisingly, no chips. I'm so super hard on my hands and nails, so I'm very surprised and pleased to see that Cheer Camp is holding up so well!





As you can see, it is a very pale pink with medium pink and lavender hexes and fine fuchsia glitters. This polish has made its way to the top of my list. I was able to wear it to my client meeting with confidence since it is so delicate and subdued.


Well, I hope to see you guys here again! I'm off to bed now. Next time I watch the Olympic gymnastics I'm going to have to put it on mute, lol! That cheering with those hiiiiiiigh pitched voices grates on your nerves!!


Have a great night!

    1. Thanks so much! I appreciate the follow. ;)

      Do you know if Chelsea has plans to retire the summer camp line soon? (I haven't paid much attention, oops!) I guess she probably will since summer is almost over. :( I'm really regretting not getting a large one when I had the chance! I love it that much. Besides, I think it's doable for the court room. I asked the hubs if he could tell what it looked like from about 4 feet away, and he said it just looked light pink. :D Winner winner, chicken dinner, lol!
