Come Monday...weekly newsletter

Here it is already the last week of July! I wanted to remind everyone that my OPI Swiss Contest ends on July 31, so if you'd like to enter, you can find all of the details in the upper right corner. I still don't see the Color Club mini Halloween and Holiday sets up on the VNS site, so if you're dying to get these, go ahead and eMail Yen to order them, because she said she had them in.

I'm still working on moving my polishes to Melmers and I'm assembling Melmer #4 today. They go together much quicker after the first one, thankfully! In taking a good look at all of my polishes as I move them, I realize that I'm not having the urge to buy any more after starting this reorganization project. I've been looking at some of the new collections in drug stores, and I have no desire for any of them. The Revlon sparkles (4 sparkles, 4 cremes) are showing up in several stores, as well as the Wet n' Wild Craze shades--I don't recall the collection name, but they have to do with TV shows. I've looked at both of those collections several times, trying to will myself to want them, to no avail. I may be emotionally dead with nail polish desire, although I hope that's not the case!

Above is a little feature from a recent edition of Life and Style Magazine focusing on the names of some summer shades. I have 3 of these and although there are so many more shades with great names, I'll admit I thought Turquoise & Caicos was one of the more clever ones. One of my favorite polishes that I bought just for the name and also happen to love the shade, is Sephora by OPI's Absinthe Makes the Heart. Do you have any favorite polishes that you bought because of the name?
