Beauty-Nails/Update

Good Morning Everyone! Happy Sunday!
 So I have kind of been a really bad blogger lately. I'm SO SORRY!!! I have been so busy with getting ready for school to start, having family in town, ect, but hey I shouldn't have any excuses! I have been wanting to blog I just haven't really know what I wanted to blog about, so I decided to do nails. Since the new school year is starting soon I will be doing more blogging and I will have lots more to talk about and share with all of you, my lovely readers! So let's get started! I want to talk to you guys all about Growing your nails, and why biting them is a TERRIBLE habit! I will also tell you about a great nail polish I purchased! So Nails are an accessory to any girl, aren't they? I have always have had little nubs as nails, and they looked terrible. I really wanted long nails to paint on, with billions of fancy nail polishes, but I have always had trouble. I have been a nail bitter since I was little, it is a habit that has been very hard to break. Biting my nails has always been my habit to let my stress out. I used my nails as something to "Calm me" or "Keep me distracted" if I was scared or freaking out about different things. I have tried several times over the last few years to grow them and it has worked for the first couple of weeks, but then they would break. My nails are quite thin so it doesn't really help me in that department. After they would break I would HATE that the nails were so uneven, I then would bit them and give up. I know is sounds terrible, but this went on and off till this year. About a month and half ago my mom took my aunt, little sister and myself to get pedicures and manicures. In reality this was quite a treat, we don't go to often cause it can cost quite a bit for 4 people. So I myself was just going to get a pedicure done, cause there was no purpose of getting my nails done if they were just little nubs, right? After my toes were done, my mom said "Would you want to get your nails done to?", I thought I guess it wouldn't hurt and I could try to grow them again, so I said sure. Now I did not want to get a colorful rainbow nails, because I really didn't want to show off my little nub fingers, so the young lady who did my nails just trimmed them and filed them, then painted them with a clear coat of nail polish. It looked fine and after it was done. A week went by after getting them done, and not once did I bit them, I was quite proud! Then on the third week the clear coat was gone and my nails then started to grow and even out. I think growing my nails during the summer is much easier, because I then don't have the stress of school and friends on my mind. It's now been almost two months, and my nails are quite long! I haven't wanted to bit them, and they are actually looking great! I finally have long nails! I hope I really can keep this up, because so far this is all going great! :) Now, as they have grown, I filed them and painted them with clear nail polish. They are now to the point where I can start painting them, and making my nails fancy! Haha Now, I had gone to Walgreen's during the beginning of the month, and I wanted a new summer color for my nails so they would pop! I didn't want nail polishes that I had already tried or I have used tons of times. I never had used the Essie nail polishes till this month, and let me tell you I'm in love with their nail polishes!! They are fantastic! There was one particular nail polish that I had wanted to purchase. I had seen it in my new issue of Teen Vogue and I had heard tons of You tuber's that I subscribe to talk about it in their videos. The nail polish is called, "Mint candy Apple". 
Essie-Mint Candy Apple


Now, I am literally obsessed with the color mint. It is the perfect color and I can't get enough of it! I love every single thing about this nail polish, but the price. Most nail polishes you find at local drug stores range from 99 cents to $3.00 at the most. Now this nail polish is around $7.00. I really hate that they are so much, but this is the only flaw in the nail polishes by Essie. The quality is quite spot on, the nail polish last for quite some time without chipping, and the range of colors and collections..Perfection! I really love this color and I have gotten a few others during this month. I would recommend the Essie nail polishes, but only if you have long nails or are willing to grow then out. This nail polish not everyone can afford, and it can sound silly to purchase a $7.00 nail polish, but they are WORTH IT. For their quality and range of colors, I feel that they are worth it and I will be buying more. Now, if any of you guys want to recommend any nail polishes to me or you want me to recommend to you guys...let me know in the comment section below! I hope everyone has enjoyed, and new blog post will be up very soon. I can't promise that it will be right away, but I haven't stopped blogging I have really enjoyed having a blog so far to share my thoughts, and there is so much more that I want to share with you guys! I Love you all! Xoxo
