Another annoying post (Post 12)

Apparantly blogger really doesn't like me. There are all these blogs I love and it lets me comment on maybe, a third of them? I try to even upload response comments to you guys and- no. I am not allowed to. Keep commenting and I'll email my thoughts to you or just wait until blogger gets their act together. Sigh. So just please dont think I'm ignoring you guys, because I love you all! But on a happy note, expect a shimmery rare swatch to be posted later! Love you all,
Sierra

Update and Essie Story

Hey guys- sorry I've been out and not really following a pattern for posting- the hurricane made it a little difficult to post what with the internet going in and out! Today I have a story about my hatred for essie. Essie lovers, I'm sorry. So when I was 10 or 11, (quite a while before my OPI nail polish addiction) my mom had a beautiful lilac/grey essie. It was my favorite polish in the whole world! Whenever my mom painted my nails- it would be that color. So once I was into polish I thought to myself- let's go through the abandoned nail polish drawer (where I found Got the Blues For Red, Russian to a Party and In Snow). So I automatically go for my mom's fun, vibrant coral and pink essies. So once I've gathered maybe four or five, I go to my room to paint my toes the purple. I try to open it. No luck. The quality of the polish was definitely not great, granted it was old, but  Russian to a Party and In Snow were older! I try again. No luck. I run it under hot water. No luck. I try the orange. No luck. The pinks. No luck. This continued. I think 2 or 3 of my mom's many essie's refused to open. I know when polishes have lots of polish under the lid when screwed tight they can dry together. But no, 10 polishes aren't likely to do that. However, the OPI's had no problem opening despite being older and more used. Fail on essie's part. Small bottle, small brush, small span of good use. I'm out. I'd rather waste my money on OPI than waste it on essie. And now you know. :) Whether this actually interested you or not, I don't know.

What's With All The Cremes?

Yay for the first blog post! I seem to be on track for a post everyday but who knows how long that will last (I will definitely try and keep it up) So in a ton of my disgusting swatches and in my reviews I mention having 90% cremes. I'm sure if I set up a mathematical proportion (nerd alert LOL) I'm sure the percentage would actually be much higher. Hold on let me actually go and do that *Five Minutes Later* Apparantly I own only 77% cremes. Hmmm. I'm going to stick with 90 for a more dramatic effect. Anyways, obviously people are going to think I gravitate towards cremes. Maybe I do, but that's not the reason I own so many. It's simply because of the colors. If I like a color, I'm going to buy it whether it's a matte, suede shimmer, glitter, duochrome etc. It's a nail polish obsession.... I think as a consumer, that's what pulls me in, the color. I definitely like holografic gilttery polish too, if its two colors in one you can't go wrong! So along with waiting like, two months for decent swatches, you'll also have to just stick around and trust I own polishes other than cremes! Bear with me-Sierra

Hey All

Um... terrible pic of a neon OPI rainbow?
So here goes.... Yeah well judging by the title, you've all figured out I'm Sierra, a teenage nail polish addict. It's really not good to be addicted to anything, especially when said thing costs money. If you're here for brand variety, you're out of luck, even though I hate to admit it, I'm a nail polish snob. As in OPI or bust. Not because I dont't like Revlon or NYC or whatever but because I'd much rather spend my money on an OPI bottle than two cheaper bottles. Yeah, yeah, I know it's not good. But hey, that's me. As I said, I am a teenager which means juggling school, homework, more homework, friends sports staying fit, family and more homework. Now i have a blog to mantain too. Probably not wise but I think it'll be fun for me and hopefully, you too. So my goal is to get one swatch up a week, as in a full hand holding the bottle. Maybe two. But no guarantees. In addition to that a traditional "blog" post containing things such as my hatred for Essie, how I'm afraid to buy China Glaze and how somehow 90% of my polishes are a creme finish. You know, typical polish junkie stuff. I'm happy to get suggestions on posts and I'll gladly answer questions you may have about my nail polish addiction, colors and anything else nail related. Maybe I'll even feature it in a post if it seems interesting enough that other people would enjoy. So just be warned- 99.9 percent of the polishes featured here are going to be OPI. The occasional Sephora by OPI and once in a blue moon, a Nicole by OPI.Wish me the best of luck and I hope you enjoy!
