Nail Porn

Sure, it’s an overused phrase, but is there any more apt description for the sort of D3-induced craziness that goes on when a polish maker releases a new line and we all want it, want it now, now, NOW!!? Not that I don’t do it myself, but the sort of rhapsodizing that goes on over the latest hard-to-find holo or Aussie-imported glitter polish is *just* this side of lustful panting.

But sometimes you have a very good reason for staring in dumbfounded delight at your hands, a little polish-on-polish action dancing in your head, because the polish you’re wearing is just so damn pretty. Like this beauty I received last week, Enchanted Polish’s Octopus’s Garden.

So what’s next? Well, you take a picture of it, and then maybe 20 more after that, all while you stand in the sun or out of the sun or under a tree or with your hand shoved in a little box, and then, as you contort your hand and fingers into positions even the most flexible of yogis would shudder at, you snap the photo, thinking such absurdly rapturous thoughts as, “That linear holo is TO DIE FOR. Just gorgeous…wait, what’s a linear holo?” Then you put it on your blog so others can share in your pervy porniness, which you know they will because you do it, too!

Hey, I guess we all get our jollies where we can. Some jollies are just sparklier than others. 😉
