Moving

My friend Catherine and I have started our own beauty and modest fashion blog. I have decided to concentrate on that blog and I will include my work and life stories over there as well.  For anyone that reads this blog please follow me over to www.modernmodestbeauty.com

OPI Warm and Fozzie

Here is a swatch of OPI's "Warm and Fozzie" nail laquer from the muppets collection.
The color is a pretty sparkly bronze.  It doesn't look great with my skin tone, but on certain people it would be beautiful.

Something I am working on right now is trying to get my nails to grow out. I have always been a nail biter, so that has always had a negative impact on my manicure. Does anyone have any good tips or products for strengthening your nails?

I think I might have a new addiction

So my friend Catherine has great style.  I always find myself copying her without meaning too, but hopefully she finds it flattering...after all imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, right?  Well, first she got me obsessed with scarves.  My wardrobe is somewhat basic, without a lot of patterns.  I never understood how much pizazz a scarf can give a plain outfit!  But now she has me addicted to nail polish.  I have always had a love of makeup, but in the past I have never really made time for my nails.  I think that is going to change!  I just feel like anything you can do to make yourself feel pretty and boost your self-esteem is a good thing.   I'm not saying that someone needs makeup and a manicure to be beautiful.  However, taking care of yourself (including your outer appearance) is very healthy in my opinion.

The other day I bought three new nail polishes.  I have to say that I love OPI.  They make a quality product that lasts longer on your nails than the cheaper polishes.  These are a part of the Muppets collection.  The goldish bronze colored one is called "Warm and Fozzie", the pink one is "Excuse Moi", and the multicolored glitter one is named "Rainbow Connection".  The last one is definitely my favorite, because it is so fun and unique.  I am not sure how I feel about the golden bronze color yet, I haven't tried in on yet.  But I didn't have any gold-toned nail polish, so I figured I would give it a shot, especially since it was on a buy 2 get 1 free deal and I couldn't find anything else...plus I had a cranky toddler so I had to choose quickly.  I think I will take pictures of them to post on here so you can really see what they look like, but these pics will have to do for now.  I hope everyone had a fantastic holiday season like I did and I look forward to what this year has in store for me and my family!
