As if I even need to say it for the 100th time, I am an accessories maven. I simply can’t get enough rings, bracelets and necklaces, hence the organization issues I have, but I digress. Over the weekend, I visited Charming Charlie, which is by far one of the best places to shop for incredibly affordable pieces. I got hip to Charming Charlie about four years ago while visiting Houston – the company was founded there – and was over the moon once they started expanded and made their way to Alabama. The company is actually in 15 states now and still growing so be on the lookout if there’s not one in your area.
I purchased two rings and spent exactly $25. Talk about a deal. I purchased a black and yellow dome ring ($9.97)and a gold-toned rhinestone ring ($12.97) as well. They’re both great additions to my collection and I’ve already worn my dome ring. I love them both. If you were wondering about my current nail design, I opted for China Glaze Tie the Knot and have my usual funked out nails as well. Be sure to comment and let me know what you think. What’s your favorite place to shop for accessories?

When I get my nails done recently, I had no clue as to what color I’d choose. Some weeks I know exactly what I want, others, not so much. I was somewhat in a pink/peach mood and after a conversation with one of my favorite nail technicians in the salon, I opted for a China Glaze pink – forgive me because I can’t recall the name of the hue. She suggested I use black for my “accent nails” so this is what we came up with.
I used to be one of those people who would never get designs because I thought it was ghetto but I’m over that now. I’ve decided that it’s all about the nail length. If I had “claws” then I think it would come across a lot differently than it does.
What’s your favorite nail hue right now? Be sure to comment and let me know what you think of this Perfectly Polished look.

As you all know, I’ve been getting bolder and bolder as the weather warms. I’m pretty much up for any hue on my nails, excluding the really obnoxious neon (non)options. Oh, and I’m also not a fan of long nails, if you haven’t noticed by now. I prefer to keep my nails short and well groomed. I opted for a pinkish purple China Glaze color (I forgot to write down the name of it) and coupled it with my own Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Xtreme Wear Mellow Yellow. My nail designer, Christine, has been dying to put “rhinestones” on my nails for some time and since there were some that matched the polish, I let her do her thing.

The Peep Show
Spring is in full swing – though you can’t quite tell with the less than stellar weather – and everyone seems to be getting in the spirit with brighter nail hues. I’ve been experimenting more and more with color and I must say that I’ve enjoying this “new attitude” I’ve taken on. Gone are the days of a french manicure or a light, pale pink for warmer months. I’ve also rounded up pictures from Sole Intuition readers who are wearing bursts of colors.

I am sitting on the edge of my seat in anticipation of Spring. Spring and Fall are by far my favorite seasons as the scenery is just so beautiful during these times. Plus you don’t have to deal with the weather extremities – it’s not too hot or too cold, weather is nearly perfect. As I mentioned when the Spring 2010 colors were revealed, nude is one of the colors of the season, much like gray was it for Winter 2009. I got a jump start on introducing the color in my palette by opting for a warm nude on both my nails and toes. My signature somehow along the way has become getting my left hand ring finger and right hand index finger in a different hue, so always expect something a little different from me there.
