Since we moved to Texas, I have become somewhat of a nail polish-aholic. I don’t paint my nails all that often, toes far more than fingers, but for some reason, I can’t pass the cosmetics department at the H-E-B without running in and finding a lovely color – preferably on sale.
During the last few weeks of my pregnancy, when I was exiled to the couch, I was CRAVING some sparkly red nail polish. Nothing I had on hand would do. It needed to be red. And sparkly. And the sparkles needed to be red. We’re talking give Dorothy's shoes a run for their money red sparkles.
So, I cheated the bed rest a bit and after dropping Matt off for class and before going to my doctor’s appointment, I made a quick stop to the Walgreen’s on Rt. 66 and checked out my options. Red polish with silver sparkles, red sparkles with clear polish, red with shimmer (shimmer, really?) and just plain red. I nearly left empty handed. Then I spotted it on the bottom level of the Sally Hansen section – and for only three bucks! Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Red Carpet.
I have about 10 bottles of this brand and have to say, it lasts like no other. This last week I picked up Golden-I, and it is the most perfect gold – sparkly, but not glittery, smooth and shiny. I’d have pictures, but the only cameras I have right now are either film or my less than great phone camera. We went to the Children's Museum today so I did not give this post the attention it deserves.
