I can only describe this nail polish as the equivalent of having a first born child. I don't have any children, so I feel like I'm allowed to make such shallow comparisons. You know how parents always say they didn't know what to expect before they had kids, but once they saw them, they didn't know they could love something so much? That was pretty much my same experience with this nail polish. I knew I liked it, and I knew I wanted it, but I didn't really know what to expect before I put it on my nails. Now that I've seen it, I didn't know I could love a nail polish so much, and I couldn't imagine my life without it now. And the fact that I just spent the last 5 minutes comparing a nail polish to a child just reaffirms the fact that I should never have children.

Let's take our focus off of how pissed off I look in the first picture, and talk about how adorable Toby is. The sun was just in my eyes, really. Or we can talk about how this is an extra large Queen shirt I made into a tunic. That's actually not that exciting. Let's go back to Toby. Adorable, right? Oh! and the crackle nail polish!

If I had enough patience I would look through my entire Twitter feed to find a tweet I sent out back in October asking if anyone knew where I could get crackle nail polish. I remember it from when I was a kid, and I wanted to do it for Halloween. Well, besides the fact that nobody responded to the tweet, I still couldn't find it anywhere. Fast forward a couple months, Katy Perry comes out with an OPI collection that includes a black "shatter" nail polish, and everyone's acting like this is a new concept. Everywhere I look, it's sold out. Then I see OPI has a Pirates of the Caribbean collection with silver shatter polish. Again, can't find it anywhere. Then the other day I was getting my nails done and the guy goes, "have you tried crackle nail polish?" and I told him my whole life story about it, and he goes, "oh we have it" and of course, I have to get it. At first I was going to get pink, but then I thought, why not go with the obnoxiously bright neon orange? That's appropriate. The rest is history. Alright, kiddies, story time's over.
