I am not much of a make-up person overall. I keep it simple - some eyeliner, mascara, maybe a dash of blush and lipgloss - and that's my going out look. I love the idea of eyeshadows and lipsticks but after years of experimenting, I have determined that neither are a good fit for my features.

However, I have found my real love to be nailpolish. I love a good nailpolish color. When I need a pick me up - I buy a seasonal nailpolish. Compared to most other nailpolish lovers - I'm very much a beginner - less than 15 bottles at the moment. For years, I relied on manicures and pedicures from the Nail Salon. Recently though due to economics, I have been spending more time trying to do my own nails and starting my own collection of good staple nailpolishes.

When I found out about the OPI Muppets (http://www.opi.com/) collection, I knew I had to buy at least a few bottles - I've loved the Muppets for as long as I could remember. But that plan became quite the challenge for they were sold out everywhere. Who knew they would be so popular? I finally had to drive 30 miles to JC Penney's and Ulta in order to find a few bottles. And I am so glad I did. The names alone are great. But as someone starting a collection - the various shades of red, purple and glitter is a perfect fit for all seasons.

I decided to start with Animalistic - a bright shimmery red - very cheerful. I love how it came out - brightened up my mood immediately. I think this would be perfect for the toenails.

I'm excited to try rest of the colors immediately. Maybe I'll do one a week.

(P.S. I never figured it would be so hard to take a photo of my right hand using my left hand to hold the DSLR)
