The Inaugural Post!

Wednesday, April 25th 2012

Welcome to the Madhouse!

 **maniacal laugh, maniacal laugh**


So wow, if you are reading this, and you aren't just me editing it, you made it here! Who-rah! Someone made it here! Come closer so that I may hug you!

Anywho, this blog has been something I've wanted to do for quite sometime, but quite frankly just haven't been able to work up the guts to hit POST for the first time. So here I am, just another gal in a very crowded blogosphere, full of many, many talented nail polish bloggers. Where I fit into that, I'm not quite sure. But if I keep coming over here and staring at this thing for hours at a time I'm going to go cross-eyed. So lets do it :) I can't promise you something new and never before seen, nor will I be someone posting everyday...and sometimes perhaps it won't even be about polish, perhaps I'll just throw in a YOTD (yorkie of the day)! But, we'll have some fun, make fun of me a little, or a lot and just hang out.

Sound like a plan...

Ok.
you there.

WAKE UP!!!!

I'm going to start my actual post now :)

So this is why I wanted to start a blog. I work at a very large physician practice, the space we occupy used to be a supermarket (I'm not kidding). And everyone in this office has to wear khaki shirts and black pants. Yes, Boring to the MAX! And we're all little boring khaki clones of one another. So polish quickly became my ONLY way to personalize my outfit:) It started with a couple OPI, as I suspect many people started their collections. And then right around New Years, I discovered llarowe. Game over. Resistance is futile. And now my stash is somewhere around 500...in 4 months. ECK!!
Thats him. Thats the damn shirt.


So theres my background story, I guess I should stand up and state my name. Hello Friends, My Name is Emily and I am a polish-aholic.
I'm not in denial...but I've got no plans of stopping ;)

Till Tomorrow
<3 Em

  4. Ha, ha, ha! Welcome to the madness. Many of us started out just like you. I was a closet hoarder for many years, only my stash was in a couple of shoe boxes. Me & my shoe boxes finally came out of the closet last summer, but I didn't jump on the blogwagon until recently. Decided I just didn't want to sit on the sidelines anymore! Look forward to seeing your pretty nails, oh! And your YOTD too! :)

    Hi Emily! My name is Andrea and I'm a polish-aholic too! Look forward to some collaborative enabling! :)

  7. Ha I know what you mean! I really started to get into polish when I had to wear black pants and a white shirt everyday...I was dying to break out of the box! I look forward to your posts whenever you find time for them. My blog is the same way :)

  8. Hello! I came here via the Llarowe facebook page :)
    I recently moved house & while packing up my precious polishes I counted over 200 - so you've already passed my total! Look forward to seeing your nails :)

  10. Thanks for giving me some good justification... "but, honey, I got into nail polish right about when Emily did, and she has over 500 bottles of polish, and I've only got about 200... I'm not out of control... I'm not spending too much... if anything, I'm spending too little!"

    And yeah, I think I can trace the tipping point to discovering Llarowe, too.
