I started out with this dark blue that Wet 'N' Wild sold (and still sell, although I hate the color now) because it was the only non red or pink color I could find in the mid-'80s. I wore that color and no others for years. Then in my later teen years, new unusual colors started becoming popular, and I was able to find other blues, dark purples, etc. But I recently found OPI, too, and there's nothing else like them! My HG nail polish is Black Cherry Chutney, a delicious nearly black dark red shade. Lincoln Park After Dark is wonderful, too. I only have a few bottles of OPI shades so far, but I'm sure I'll be getting more. If I use a top coat, I can keep the color in good shape for a week and a half or more.

In fact, I turned to nail polish because it was cheaper than perfume; these days, I just flit from counter to counter in department stores and boutiques, sniffing and spraying, and re-editing my perfume wishlist obsessively. =/ I highly recommend the MUA nail board for nail polish tips and glorious, glorious pictures. For nail ridges, try an opaque ridge-filling basecoat like Nailtek Foundation II or Barielle Natural Nail Camoflauge. It also provides *some* protection against stains. :) I have Kaleidoscope on my nails as I type. It's actually a green gold, like the metal they use in jewellery, which is a combination of silver and gold alloy. :) Delurking because two of my obsessions collide in one post – nail polish and perfume!

I get those ridges, too, (Plus my nails PEEL! :o I use this stuff called "It's a Wrap" (or that's a wrap - one of those) and it really adheres to the nail. I had very strong nails for awhile, thanks to Nail Magic - but they went and took the formaldehyde out of it and now it doesn't work for me. I know it's not PC to say this, but I miss formaldehyde. xoxo >-), your zombie friend March, you can do a ‘wrap’ basecoat, even with the pale ones the basecoat is unnoticeable.

When (ahem) someone we know and love has completely vanquished her one fungus-toe, about which we will speak no more :-$ , she is looking forward to toenail polish. She thinks she has kinda cute feet, with chubby little toes. :"> Toes are fun.
