Resolutions 2009

Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a wonderful celebration, with gorgeous sparkle-y nails.

Last year, I made a New Year's resolution to do a manicure every week. I wanted to keep my nails in better shape, polished, filed, and chip-free (which is nearly impossible if I don't actually pay attention to them for weeks on end). Out of that resolution, this blog was eventually born, and my nails have looked good all year long.

So this year, I made just a few more resolutions regarding my nails, to continue moving forward with better nail/skin care:

  • Make a habit of daily cuticle care.
  • Pedicure 2x month
  • Research and try out water-based polishes/removers
And I'll add to that to take better care of my dogs' nails as well - they both need weekly manicures just as much as I do, and I just bought a Pedi-Paws file that works wonderfully on their doggie toenails.

I haven't managed to fit in many pedicures this past year, so even if I accomplish nothing else, I want that to be a priority. My toenails grow as fast as my fingernails, and need more attention than they get.

So those are my nail goals for 2009 - anyone else making nail-related resolutions this year?

Next week's manicure: sparkle-y party nails!
