How to open nail polish bottles that are stuck closed

Super easy way to open nail polish bottles that are stuck! In a cup (narrow cups work best to make sure bottom labels stay dry) add luke warm water, place nail polish cap side down so entire cap plus top of bottle are emersed.

Let sit for 3-5 minutes. 

Finished! It's that easy. Cap should come off easily. 

Sally's Beauty Supply - Finger Paints Kaleidoscope Collection - 5 flakie top coats

I spotted this display at my local Sally's Beauty Suppy over a week ago and didn't think much of it, then I saw a swatch of them and knew I had to go back and give them a second look. Surprisingly the display was still full, I guess flakies aren't as coveted as they once were. I picked up one of the five different shades, I picked up Abstract Attraction it was the only one that looked appealing to me since I do have a lot of flakie polishes already. I'll have a swatch of Abstact Attraction soon!

Hiatus Over!

So after a two year break I could not stay away any longer! My love of nail polish is just too strong. 

When I was a few months pregnant I had a complete aversion to nail polish, it was the craziest thing. For two years I did not look at a single blog, look at a nail display in stores, or even wear polish! Crazy right, for some so involved and was so in love with polish. I was so overwhelmed by all the polish I had around me it kinda turned me off, it was so excessive how much polish I had. My "collection" (I kinda hate using that word) or stash of polish has been dramatically paired down to polishes I really really really love now. 

So I've been back stalking my favourite blogs and my old hang outs (aka Sally's/drug stores/nail supply stores/eBay) for over a month now. After seeing the OPI Gwen Stefani polishes I got the itch again. I really had time to think about if I wanted to be back or not, and didn't want to come back unless I was whole heartedly in it. 

My son who is going to be two (Where does time go?!) this Spring is so much more I independent now and I have so much time to myself again. It was a crazy start, he was born 2.5 months early and spent 6 weeks in the hospital. He's the cutest thing ever in my very biased opinion ;)

I've missed a lot! And a lot of which I'm a little glad I missed! Ummm fuzzy nails? That was a thing? When I stepped out shattered (ugh) nails were popular and there were only a few really neat indie brands worth noting. I have some catching up to do! 

I'm so happy to be back! Be patient with me as I figure some things out, I know when you click on an old link they don't work, so I have some work to do, figuring out how to get this thing out of hibernation might take a bit!
