Nailed It!!

Okay, so estoy super obsesionada with Essie's nail polish, "Mint Candy Apple". I'm one of those girls that absolutely relishes in manicures and pedicures. I feel like a new woman all nice and groomed ready to take on the world! When this recession hit, and i was trying to be like the masses and "cut corners," I for a second considered only getting manis every other week. But when I snapped out of my delusional mind frame, I realized there was no way I would cut that out. I rather not eat lunch. That was a bright idea, Suarez! NOT. I love color! I love anything loud and bright and obnoxious. Its the Cuban in me. And I'm so addicted to finding that standout color, that I often go to the local beauty store when the collections hit (bc Ive been stalking them in magazines over the last weeks) so I can be the first to buy and wear.

Side note. You know what really bothers me?? Girls/Women in flip flops with gnarly toes that are asqueroso, black, and clearly have not been attended to since 1994. Yuck. Seriously, its eye abuse for me to have to see those disgusting dirty flip flops and toes. Get a pedicure for the baby Jesus' sake if you are going to walk around Manhattan with sandals. It's a $20 investment that might help you land a boyfriend. Any who, back to my Essie color. It is the perfect shade of aqua. A little lighter than Tiffany Blue. It also reminds me of tea at Fortnum and Mason. Tres chic! This color screams "I'm going on a Mediterranean cruise and I'm so vogue so please stare at my hands!" i lovesies!

I also thought it be nice to give my Chanel Black Satin a break. It's been working overtime and black will always be my go-to color for nails (see you in September!). Its chic, edgy, sexy and it gives me that extra dime size boost of confidence as i strut my stuff. But now in the summer i can just hear mima (introducing Isabel "two cents" alvarez) saying, "Kata, explicame porque una muchachita educada y sonriente, tiene que pintarse las unas de negro? Tu estas deprimida? Es que yo no entiendo la moda de hoy en dia.". And that's how that usually goes when she spots the black on my fingernails.

To all my ladies that love to get their nails did, check out Essie's new summer collection before you go to your chinos. You'll be sizzling in summer chicness!

Here's to you. Here's to me.
