I've always been fascinated by nails and nail polishes. Thanks to my mom who does her own manicure and pedicure, we have a complete set of "ticks" (nail cutter), nipper, brushes and other cleaning tools, plus an assortment of nail lacquers.
It was in high school that I learned to care more about my nails. Since we are not allowed to wear polish in school, I just grew my nails and filed them into a squoval. Round tips just doesn't look right on my digits. It was only during the weekends that I get to play with mom's mani-pedi kit. I'm proud to say that I can clean (with cuticle removing and all) and paint my own nails.
Funny how my first trip to a nail salon back in senior high made me want to own one myself, haha. I wish. And roughly 5 years after, here I am, working for one. :) Who knows, my dream might come true one day. *fingers crossed*
Back to my nail story...
French tips were the in thing then (still in now), so aside from the one-color coats, I learned how to do French tips on myself. Sometimes, my friends would also have their nails painted by me to save on mani costs! Haha. But I loved doing it on them because I do it better on others than on myself :)) But now that I don't have time to do it on myself nor others, I'm just glad I have the luxury, or rather, perk of having it done by others. :)

My take on the couture nails with wider tips ;)
Base: OPI Suzi Skis in the Pyreness
Tips: Orly (forgot the name)
Also back in college, I like to change my nail colors as often as I can. No more strict school rules! ;) This time, I think I'm changing it weekly, hoho. It's just so hard to decide when you have a wide array of colors to choose from. If only I can put them all at the same time! Last week, this was my pick:
Orly's Gumdrop! Yumyum :)

Will be visiting Nail-a-holics again this Friday... Hmm, wonder what my next color would be! :)
Til my next polish change,
