Hola chicas! I hope everyone is having a great work week. I've been trying to keep up with my personal and professional stuff aka life, that I have not been able to update the blog :<. But in the midst of it being a busy work week for me, I wanted to share with you all an activity that I enjoy doing to keep me stress-free.
One of my favorite things to do on my down time is paint my nails. I love love love looking up nail designs or nail art on Pinterest and try to re-create my own patterns like flowers, zigzag lines, or even paint my nails a different color for a more far out look; un poquito de todo. What I love about painting my nails is that I can express myself through different colors and I love seeing people's reaction to them. I also have a bad habit of biting my nails, so it helps and prevents me from doing that.
When I was younger my nail biting habit was really bad. If I got stressed over a project or I got really nervous over something I would start biting them. I don't know what it was but it helped me to calm down for the most part even though it's disgusting. The funny thing is that I would turn away so my mom wouldn't see me. Then, at the corner of my eye I could see my mom watching me and she would soon spot me and tell me jokingly in Spanish, "porque no te pones chile en tus uñas para que no te las comes" ("why don't you put chile on your nails so you won't bite them"). Thinking about it now, I would rather have nail polish over chile on my nails any day. So I started collecting nail polish.
I remember back in high school I would always stop by Sally's Beauty Supply on my way home and buy their mini nail polishes because they were so cute and mini and only a buck! I would always walk out with three colors: black, bright pink, and a clear coat. Nowadays, I find myself having a zip-lock bag full of colorful nail polishes. So many colors to choose from you just gotta have them all!
My favorite nail polish brand at the moment is Sinful Colors.
What I like about Sinful Colors is their wide variety of colors and how affordable they are (no more than $2). Whenever I walk into a Walgreens my first pit stop is to the nail polish section to see what new colors they've come out with. They have colors for different holidays like Christmas or Halloween and limited edition colors for each season. Their colors are long-lasting and last for about a week or more without chipping.
They are a great travel item when you are on the go and goes well with any outfit!
Buy your own set of Sinful Colors at your local Walgreens, Target, and other beauty supply stores.
Create your own designs y diviertate!
From LA, With Luv
