Time Out
Hi everyone! I’m sorry that I left you hanging but I’ve been dealing with a loss. It really took the wind out of my sails and left me emotionally paralyzed. But I’m doing better and getting back on track. I really appreciate those of you that checked in on me. Thank you for thinking of me and expressing your concern. It means a lot.
And a big Thank You goes out to all of you that continue to come back and check on the site. Our regularly scheduled programming will resume in a day or two.

Fanatic Feedback – Let’s Talk Pricing
We all want a bargain. Who doesn’t love a sale? But there are some things you’re just willing to pay more for. Is polish one of them?
Let’s hear your thoughts on nail polish prices. What is your limit? How high is too high? Are there some brands/colors that make a higher cost worthwhile? Other than free (obvious answer), what is your ideal price?
Do you think that high end lines have quality on their side to justify the $15+ per bottle? On the flip side do you think that inexpensive drugstore brands are overlooked or underestimated?
Sound off!
