I love to paint my nails. I find it oddly relaxing since I do it while I’m watching television. My nails don’t gain weight, so I like to show them off. 
I also like to take pictures of them and share them on Twitter for some odd reason. Partly because I think they look pretty, and partly because I want to show other people what different colors look like on the nail.
Here’s some of my recent pictures:

Do you like to do your nails? What is your favorite nail polish brand? Color?
Next week I’ll be writing a post about my nail favs: bottom coat, top coat, colors, brands, etc. as well as coming trends in nails. Do you have any nail questions? Leave them in the comments and I’ll answer next week!

Girl, you know I love me some nail polish...my 10 year old daughter, too. Seriously, nail polish is the only thing I let her indulge in. No make up, no trashy clothes, no crazy hair dos....but we agree on nail polish. ;)
I love OPI & Zoya, but my new love is Orly. In fact, I'm going to be giving away my two new fall favorites from Orly on the blog next week. Hint, hint!! ;)
I can't wait to see more nail pictures, hear about your faves & learn about trends!!
I wish that I could keep my nails painted. My nail beds are oily and no matter what tricks I try or polish I use, it never stays more than a couple of days. Guess I will have to just settle for pedicures!
You are good! Looove the pink omnbre... looks awesome :)

I too LOVE to paint my nails! Thanks for posting.. now I know which polish to get ;)
I think I need that OPI Teenage Dream! That's the shade I've been looking for!
You know I love nail polish.. I'm showing some of the Orly Birds of a Feather collection on my blog Friday.
My only question...When can you come up here and do zebra print nails on me? I could never do that myself!
I love all of these. I am so impressed with your nails! Mine need some major manicuring after looking at yours. I'd love some good tips on how you keep yours so nice and neat! I love that teenage dream - it's gorgeous!
I hate doing my nails! (and I used to do it for a living, lol!) But I do polish them every week because I don't like when the polish gets worn looking.
Strictly french manicures in the summer time. To me, french manicures just scream SUMMER TIME!! Fall I switch to browns and deep, crimson reds. Winter is for my dark colors....deep dark purples, reds and browns, the darker they are, the better I likey!
I love your nails!
I'm addicted to nail polish. I'm really into pale pink right now - like a neutral pink. I have two bottles of pale pink. OPI and Sinful Colors.
I also have a black nail polish that has tiny gold sparkles in it. I love it! It's also OPI.
I don't really have a favorite brand, as long as the color is nice.
I am horrible at doing my own nails. I used to get weekly manicures, but when the little one came along I quit going. I really would like to learn how to do them myself. Can't wait for next week's post!!
I love seeing how different polishes look and have really gotten into polish over the past year. I think my collection has just about doubled.
Catch Me In Your Net is such a pretty foiled blue and I have that one too. Your zebra nails also look SO cute! Mod About You was my go-to pink over the summer. Love that one as well.
I am so very impatient that I always mess them up before they're dry. That's why I love the Gelish that Natalie gave me for my birthday!
I love that zebra mani!
I love having my nails painted, but I always seem to chip them right after I'm done. Or break a nail. The only polish I have that looks decent more than a couple of days is China Glaze. I'd love a Shellac manicure or whatever it's called.
I love the way my nails look when painted. I have the worst nails. They are so thin and yuck. When I have a free moment, I like to get the Gelish nailpolish. It stays on and never chips and it makes my nails feel thick!
Look at you getting all fancy with stripes! That's so cool!
My favorite color is an OPI called Lincoln Park After Dark. =)
I used to have fake nails and would paint them. I ripped them off my nails so now my real nails are brittle and weak. I don't paint them anymore, now I just paint my toenails in the summer time.
Oh wow! I just saw the first mini-collage in my reader and was impressed... and then I scrolled down! ha! You do a great job at keeping up with your nails!
I just got a new Essie color that I love. Merino Cool.
I am nail impaired. I can't paint my own nails. I get polish all over. I don't know what I'm suppose to do either. Oh and I bite my nails. Bad habit. I need some serious help!
I love nail polish too as you know! Great pics
I love having my nails done, I will certainly save my pennies for that since is my splurge and me time all in one. I love OPI but have recently discover Zoya and Julep which I love. I certainly like that Zoya has several coupons and giveaways all the time.
