I absolutely love seeing your collection pictures, @RGbrown! 

[eshoe]

That is a seriously jaw-dropping collection, @RGbrown 🤩 I don’t even know how you begin to make a decision!

[Kim888]

Wow that is some amazing organization @RGbrown !!! You always post such good swatches of them all though ! 

[CynthieLu]

It's beautiful! 😍 @RGbrown

Monday, December 12 - Nail Polishes 

I'm not a polish gal. I used to be earlier in my life a bit but it kept getting stripped by the gloves I have to wear for work. These are just ones leftover from the random pedicure and subscription boxes. I think I should get rid of these, I never use them and I keep holding on to them expecting to use them.

@haleyvvvv, there was a time - BB (Before BIC 🤣) when I'd probably could say without getting quizzical looks that I wasn't a polish girl - long ago, I used to have maybe 10-12 bottles of polish. I don't think I can say that AB (After BIC). 😂🤣😂 Every rotation of my "shop my stash" bin that circled through this year has had more than that many polishes. Eek! Once things settle down with my projects, I really need to carve out some time to take stock of my polish collection and put them in a nice orderly set up. 

[haleyvvvv]

I want to be a polish girl, @itsfi!! I love everyone's cute nails. I want multichromes shades. But it just doesn't jive with my lifestyle. 

[Saradestin]

Beautiful polishes @haleyvvvv ! It’s sad that you cannot wear them. Maybe for a pedi here and there? 

[haleyvvvv]

Thank you, @Saradestin!!

I *hate* my feet, so I don't do my own pedis and I am trying not to go anywhere inside that's recreational since mask mandates have disappeared. 

It's okay!! I'll pass along to my coworkers. It's a good exercise. 

[Cissy63]

@haleyvvvv  These are both bright lovely colors.  Maybe someone in your friends and family network would like them.  🌺

[haleyvvvv]

Thank you, @Cissy63!! 

[WinglessOne]

@haleyvvvv  I know the feeling of holding on to something with the intent of using it again but never doing that. Both polishes are pretty! But if you really think you won't use 'em, it's best to rehome them. 

[haleyvvvv]

I know. I have historically re-homed every polish I've gotten in a subscription box, etc, but there was something about the red. The tealish one I should toss since it was used on me, and I feel weird about rehoming it. 

This is a good impetus to re-home the red one though, thank you @WinglessOne!! 

It's also a good reminder that I don't need any of the Clionadh nail polishes which make me pause every time I see them on social media. I will not use them, no matter how pretty.

@haleyvvvv Great holiday shades

[haleyvvvv]

Haha, I didn't even consider these were Xmas colors. Thank you, @Mellmars1185.!! 

[eshoe]

That green is so festive, @haleyvvvv!

[haleyvvvv]

Thank you, @eshoe!! I didn't even think that it was seasonally appropriate!! 

[Kim888]

Perfect for the holiday season @haleyvvvv !

[haleyvvvv]

I definitely prefer other holiday color patterns, but you're so right, @Kim888, it's very appropriate for this time of year!! 

[CynthieLu]

They are pretty shades of polish @haleyvvvv I can see why your hanging on to them 🙂

[haleyvvvv]

Thank you, @CynthieLu!! It might be time to consider letting them go though. I'm just not a polish gal at this point in my makeup journey.
