OPI Trial and Practicing What I Preach
Posted in The Life of the Historian and tagged with Beauty, entertainment, fashion, friends, movie on February 3, 2009Last night I was on my way to the pool when my roommate called me to see what I was up to. She and our ex-roommate were planning on hanging out at our place and ordering Chinese food. It took me about 30 seconds to realize I should break my plans and routine–good as they were–to hang out with my roommate who I’ve not spent time with in a week and a good friend who I’ve not spent much time with in several weeks. Plus, Chinese food is always a draw.
While we were eating dinner, I noticed a small package addressed to me and instanty knew what it was. When I interviewed Smoochiefrog last week, I asked her if OPI is really worth it, as she really enjoys it. She offered to send me a bottle to try, and so she sent me “Rosy Mistletoesies,” a sparkly pinkish-red. I decided to paint my nails while we watched Enchanted
(I seriously love that movie, even if it’s a sad reflection on the modern-day fairy tale…I could listen/watch to those songs, especially “That’s How You Know” and “So Close” everyday for the rest of my life and not get tired of them).
Here’s what they look like:

Cute! I didn’t put my usual top coat on over it, though, so it’s starting to rub off on the tips of a couple fingers, but I really like it! Smoochiefrog, I think I will invest in some different colors every once in a while.

You carry nail polish well! :-)
I love that movie. And the song “That’s How You Know” is just an amazing musical number.

Love your nails. They look great and the color is very nice.
I love the music in that movie too. The soundtrack would be fun to have.

Whenever I get my nails done, I get OPI. It’s good stuff. Unfortunately, my nails don’t grow, so I generally leave them bare.

Now to bring you further over to the OPI dark side. :O)

The nail polish looks terrific.

Very cute color! I cannot keep polish on my finger nails, it chips within hours.

Speaking of Enchanted…that is one of our favorites around here too. However, my oldest brother was appalled when the chipmunk pooped! He said Walt would roll over in his grave! I laughed so hard!

Well done you in choosing to go out with friends!
I totally agree with you about Enchanted. I love that film!

Oh, that’s a lovely manicure! Love the color – I’d wear a color like that, if I actually had fingernails. (Yep, I’m a chronic, lifelong nailbiter, *sigh* :( )
Haven’t seen Enchanted yet – wasn’t sure that it is appropriate viewing for Kiddo yet, so I’ve been waiting. I know, I know, I’m crazy strict about what I let her see… I’ve heard great things about it though!
And Chinese food…… YUM!!!! There’s actually a Chinese restaurant here in town called “Yummy House” – never eaten their food though, so don’t know if that is truth in advertising! :)

Wow! I love that color. I haven’t done my nails in so long, I keep telling myself I need to paint them, but it never happens.
