You Know You're Addicted to Nail Polish When...

Today's post is short and sweet. There's always those lists of you know you're ____ when ... So I wanted to do one for all the lacquer heads out there. I know there are probably other lists like this out there, but this is my own. I kept it to ten, because I love a nice even number.  
  1. You can't go into your local drug store(s) without at least looking in the cosmetic aisle.
  2. The word swatch doesn't apply to just fabric anymore.  
  3. You're more worried about visible nail line than visible panty line.
  4. No matter how many times you've tried to explain, your boyfriend/husband/significant other just doesn't understand your love of polish.
  5. Nail polish and nail art tools have found their way onto your Christmas list.
  6. One word: Lynnderella. 
  7. You need a spreadsheet to keep track of all the polish you own (and your wish list).
  8. Your Helmer/Melmer/other storage unit, just isn't enough. There's never enough storage.
  9. You change your manicure more than once a week and sometimes more than once a day. 
  10. You have a blog dedicated to nail polish!
I hope you enjoyed my list! What are some of your "You Know You're Addicted to Nail Polish when..." sayings?

New Year's Resolution

I don't normally do New Year's resolutions, but for the sake of my bank account, I needed at least one this year. Don't worry, it's not a "I will go to the gym", "I will quit smoking" (mostly because I don't smoke), kind of resolution. It's nail polish related and that's why I'm posting it here.

My New Year's resolution for 2012 is to not buy a new nail polish until I have tried all my "untrieds" at least once. I know, I know, I can hear the gasps from all the terrified Polish Addicts out there. How could I?! Why would I torture myself like that? But as I said, my wallet needs a break and I'm also running out of room for all of my nail related supplies. I've purchased and received a lot of polish over the last 3 months (by my standards) and the majority of them have been sitting neglected around my house.

Now this isn't to say that I can't buy other fun supplies such as micas and bases, but already made nail polish will be a no-no.

Hopefully I can resist picking up anything new for a while. Although resisting the OPI Nicki Minaj and China Glaze Hunger Games 2012 collections will be difficult if it comes to that. Let's hope it doesn't! I have a lot of nail polish to wear before then! (I counted and put all my untrieds in one place and I only have 16. That's not bad, right?)

Do you have any nail polish related resolutions for 2012? Or any other resolutions for that matter? Let me know in the comments section!
