Unofficial Obsessions: Nail Polish

I have a problem. It's called a deep love of nail polish. It's surprisingly crippling, actually. I don't even want to think about how money I've spent on nail polish over my short 18 years of life. I keep buying nail polish I don't need because, let's be honest, no one NEEDS nail polish. It's quite useless. But alas, I love it. And I buy it en masse.

A lady I work with sells Avon. She gave me one of those catalogues to look through the other day, and I was like, "Yeah, sure, I'd love to look through your catalogue!" But inside I'm really thinking, "Yeah, I am not buying any of this crap." I am such a sucker. One week and 30 bucks later, I've got four tubes of lip gloss and six nail polishes in a little baggie that says Avon stuck in my purse. Sucker. I do the same thing at Walmart. I go to that nail polish aisle, and there are those ones that are only two bucks each, and I just can't help myself. It's pathetic.

I now have a box of over 50 different colors of nail polish sitting in the cabinet under my TV. Organized according to color, of course. And I have most every color I could possibly need. I only have one orange and one yellow, but I have at least three of every other color. And pink - whoa. Don't even get me started on all those pinks. I must have 20 different shades of pink. It's ridiculous.

And since I have oodles of nail polish, I now paint my nails once or twice a week. Just for fun. I throw a blanket on the floor, pop in a movie (this week I watched The Fellowship of the Ring and Sleepless in Seattle), and paint my nails. Even though I do my nails a lot, there still isn't a whole lot I can do. I pretty much stick to the basic one color. Occasionally I do leopard print, but that hasn't been perfected yet. I'm still working on it. Which is okay, because my nail painting movie watching pow wows are pretty fun. Because I love movies. And nail polish. I really love nail polish.

I have an un[OFFICIAL] obsession with nail polish. And it should probably stop.

One day, in a fit of boredom, I indexed my nail polish. Look at all of them.
And I've bought more since. You can see how ridiculous this is, right? It's ridiculous.
