I think I may have created a monster. A 5-year-old pink sparkly nailpolish wearing monster, that is. I finally succumbed and I had a fun time giving her a manicure and painting her nails a cute sparkly pink color. As a kid, I was never allowed to wear nailpolish....not sure why, but I think my parents made some sort of correlation between nailpolish and teenage pregnancy...who knows, really. So, I was hesitant to allow her to do this, but I have obviously eased up on those standards. Now, my standard is it has to be a cute glittery little girl color, not too dark, definitely light and almost sheer. So you will understand that when she asked me if we could paint her nails red for Christmas, I adamantly said no.....didn't really have an explanation when she asked why, but I have clearly justified this logic in my head. Now instead of my parents believing that nailpolish = pregnancy, I have set a new and improved methodology that only seems to make sense for me.

nailpolish = PREGNANCY....i haven't laughed like that in ages... i think lipgloss is right up there too...
i am dying...yes all makeup, lipgloss and nail polishes lead to pregnancy...we all know this to be true. So when Naomi wants her nails black, I should say no because she will then tear the heads off baby birds? Makes sense to me!
I wore red nail polish when I was a kid - once in awhile as a treat - and I've never been pregnant. So, I guess that is not how you get pregnant! Besides my mom said kissing led to prenancy - still no prenancies here - maybe it is different in different states??? I'm to old to worry about it now but if anyone figures out the real answer let me know! LOL!!!
What about Bagota Blackberry! I know you love OPI as much as I do!
