Lita Loves... Nail Polish!

In high school, I took chorus as an elective. While I can't carry a tune, I love to sing/admire those with the talent I so clearly lack (especially if there is a guitar involved...I know, how cliche, but I can't help it).

You might be wondering, what does my high school choir have to do with nail polish? Well, back in my low-maintenance days, I remember two of my friends discussing how they could never not be wearing polish on their tips as they stared with disgust at my bleak, half bitten fingernails. At the time, I thought they were crazy; but now I can't stand the site of an empty nail bed and have become a bit of a fiend when it comes to painting my nails. 

While I may not be quite as polished (excuse the terrible pun) as some other nail addicts on the web (I prefer to keep my nails short and I don't go crazy about my cuticles), I have developed a bit of a hoarding habit. See below: 

I have even tested out some nail art designs like using the reinforcement trick via Lauren Conrad's thebeautydepartment.com. 

I have dabbled with a bit of glitter, typically just on the ring finger or if I'm using Deborah Lippmann's Across the Universe. For the most part, though, I stick to solids. Every girl needs a few staples, that perfect red, a moody green/brown/gray, an almost black, a pretty pastel, and a nude. Below are a few of my favorites.
