The other day, Kristin and I were admiring our latest nail polish masterpieces, when we got to thinking about our different personal polish preferences. She changes her toenail polish once every other week or so, and I do my nails religiously at least twice a week (I find it very Zen to plop in front of the tube and reinvent my look one finger – or toe – at a time).
My other tenet? I never match my toes to my fingers. I’m not exactly sure why, but I think it’s the same reason I don’t wear matching sets of jewelry at once.
Don’t get me wrong – I keep the colors in the same general family (I’d never do purple on my toenails and red on my fingers), but I just don’t feel “right” about matching them.
This ritual causes my poor husband loads of grief and confusion, because he doesn’t understand why I always need to buy new polish colors that are one to two shades away from those I already have. Or for that matter, change a polish I’m wearing to one that’s only one to two shades away. If you peeked at my polish collection, you’d be staring at a virtual color wheel.
That said, I know I’m not normal (and this is the least of the examples supporting that). I really don’t think that people put as much time or thought into their own polishing process.
But hey, I could be wrong. So tell me in the comments below – do you practice your own nail polish religion, or are you agnostic?
To me, it’s all just a matter of faith.
