sharing: polish

Because they do say that "sharing is caring" & I really do care about the people who read this blog! I read from another blogger the other day (can't remember who) that the number of people who read or follow your blog doesn't matter. What does is the content of what I am sharing with those people that do read, so I can intentionally write and document tidbits of my life for their encouragement & well-being.

As I am really thinking about what I want to share in this space, I know that I do want it to be life-giving! I love sharing my photos & parts of our lives as well, so in that & overall I hope this can be a place of love & life for those who read. This is my goal! & I hope to deliver it well because I really appreciate every person who takes the time to peak into our blog.

So, all these lovely things to say - this post is written more directly to the ladies! (sorry guys) Because us girls love our nail polish! After marrying G & moving to Chicago I was forced to learn how to paint my own nails because Mommy couldn't do them for me anymore (tears), so it was time to grow into adult-hood in the world of polishing nails. I actually remembering buying my first one to have at home with her at Target in Chicago when we first arrived! It was Essie's limo-scene, and I actually still have it today! (although it's too old to use so I'm not sure why I still have it lol)

But today I wanted to share a brand I have grown to love over the past couple years!
It is Wet & Wild Megalast polish! This has been my go-to brand. Why?

Number one: it's cheap in price! Only about $2 each, plus they go on sale from time to time which is amazing for someone that loves to buy things primarily when they are on sale.

Number two: high in quality! These babies last pretty long on the nails. I usually paint my nails with two coats plus one clear top coat and it lasts me about 5 days in almost perfect condition. & that's with being a house-wife which we know, means your hands are always extra busy. Also, the color pay off is perfect; just like the color you see in the packaging (after 2 coats). Finally...

Number three: the colors are gorg! I've noticed over time that this line comes out with colors that are popular at the time or attempts to copy those more expensive brands. Although the shades are not exactly the same, the fact that I can get 4 of these polishes for the price of 1 Essie or Orly polish is great to me! However, a little *tip for you ladies - when you want to buy an Essie or Orly polish, check if Amazon has it first because it's usually around $5 with free-shipping too! I surly don't want you to end up like this lady here:

lol! Color-wise, I have been loving purple lately! So, if you want to try a new color but don't want to spend a lot of money on a new polish, try this brand & see what you think! I hope this was a helpful read & that you keep on taking a little time for yourself during the week to polish those nails ladies.

Because separating "me time" is good for the soul, even if that time isn't spent over nail polish.
