I had finals, y'all. And I had an aggressively bad weekend before my last final. And even if it's horror was mostly of my own making, as many of our daily personal tragedies tend to be (or at least mine do, whatever), I needed something uplifting. And that uplifting thing came in the form of a DIY manicure with $18 nail polish.
I know what you're saying. "$18 for a bottle of nail polish? Shut up." But it's true. I'm sure most of you have heard of Deborah Lippmann nail polishes, and been tempted by them, in fact. My sister was kind enough to purchase a bottle of it in Ruby Red Slippers for me for Christmas. The best part of this color is that the red glitter is in a gray-black polish, which means the color actually looks like what I think the ruby red slippers would look like if the Wicked Witch of the West had gotten to put them on her mean green feet.
I like that her feet are mean.
haha I actually was like "WHAT $18!" as you predicted ! But it really is so pretty, I wish I could wear nail polish, but unfortunately due to my lazy up-keeping ways and a slightly disfigured fingernail that I am a little to self conscious of, I always put it off! Not to say that I dont own nail polish though, because I do! I just cant help buying the pretty shades that I see.. but they just sit there looking pretty!
