I've always found painting my nails to be a fun way to de-stress and wind down after a long week. As a child, I remember watching my mother paint her nails and begging her to paint mine the same vivid shade of red. If you know me personally, you'll know that I've always tended to favor bolder polish colors. Vibrant hues? Interesting textures? GLITTER?! Yes, yes, and YAAAS! 

As much as I love my bold and vibrant hues, I've been all about the neutrals and solids this year. For this week's color, I decided to try out OPI's "Samoan Sand," which was gifted to me by a dear friend for Christmas! I started off my mani with Butter London's "Horse Power Nail Fertilizer." This product was a deluxe sample that I received as a gift-with-purchase from Nordstrom. I like to use this product as a base coat, as it also helps to keep my nails from chipping and breaking. After drying, I applied three coats of the OPI Nail Lacquer directly on top and finished up with OPI's Top Coat.
