This post was inspired a fantastic manicure that I got today (and how much better it was than a 10-minute glittered nail job I slapped on yesterday while watching SYTYCD). My co-worker and I had to wait a bit so we spent some time poring over colors - I love all the darker hues that come with fall on the East Coast and can't wait for those but thought I'd indulge in a little bit of summer before August completely passed me by, which is why I settled on what I thought was a nice, cheerful pink (tested with one coat on my nails) called 'That's Hot! Pink'.
New manicure from the Ivy Nail and Spa in Arlington, VA.
I really should have tested two coats since it turned out much brighter than I had expected (although given the name, it's really no one's fault but my own). It turned out to be this incredibly, well, hot pink shade. I'll basically be 'Professional Barbie' at work tomorrow. Luckily, there are only a few women at work and we're pretty casual for a biz-cas office so these bad boys can still stay around for awhile.
Anyway, the idea of this blog has been drifting in and out of my head for a few months with a frenzy of shopping, evaluating and trying to re-do just about everything in my life but work has really been getting in the way. My busy times at work come in a monthly cycle, usually culminating in crazy times during the middle of the month. But maybe this blog will inspire me to work a little harder at putting my own life together instead of just analyzing numbers for a company!
