one day...weekly pedis...a girl can dream *sigh*

i think one area where i'm really a girly-girl is that i love wearing nail polish and i love trying new and different shades. now living in the jerz, i've come to realize that there are certain things that are cheaper in nyc than anywhere else in the world: 1) breakfast sandwiches and 2) pedicures. however, i still don't let myself go to the nail salon unless i REALLY REALLY crave it or need it. so i've taught myself how to do a pretty good job of painting my own. every few months i'll toil for a few days over which color i can't live without and head to my local ricky's to make the purchase. my current favorites are all by OPI (sometimes they even come with extra-wide brushes = awesome) and i'm in a constant struggle for which to put on my little piggies next.

1. curry up don't be late = a lower-key metallic that looks best with a fresh summer tan
2. russian navy in matte = i think this matte version of the dark blue is super-chic
3. OPI on collins ave = a serious pop of orangey-red color for those weekend jaunts to miami (ha)
   
4. feelin' hot hot hot = i love nothing more than a neony bubble gum pink on summer feet

at ten-ish dollars per bottle from ricky's, i really like building my own collection and giving myself a toe makeover pretty often. hmmm...which color should i use next???
