Cash in Your Chips

I love the first day of a new manicure. It's shiny, polished perfection and I can't resist holding my hands out in front of me and admiring my colored tips. However, the second I get that first chip, I can't seem to stop obsessively eying it from every angle and double checking my other nails for more chips. One day of this and it's a pretty much a guarantee that I'll be reaching for the polish remover that night. Call me a perfectionist!
This is why I was so thrilled when I tried Deborah Lippmann nail polish a few weeks ago. It stayed chip-free for nearly a week and a half! In nail years that's pretty much a life time!
My fav colors for the winter are...

Do Ya Think I'm Sexy
Lara's Theme
Single Ladies (this is the color I got my manicure in... so pretty!)

Rings & Blings

I've never been the type to fantasize about my future wedding ring and how large and glittery and heavy it may be (hehe). For some reason, I've always looked at wedding rings as being mandatory and traditional which seems to make them less special. Below is a collection of rings that I've had my eye on for a while that I would love to receive for a "just because" occasion. Now to leave some subtle hints for a certain someone..... ;)
