Nails: Stars Stripes & Glamour (Giveaway)

As a teenager, I bit my nails. I couldn’t use nail polish. I had no nails. Thankfully, I outgrew the habit and I’ve discovered the colorful world of nail polish!

I see nail polish as racy lingerie for nails. Except way better because I can show it off to everyone I meet!

I can re-invent my nails and add a touch of sparkle and glamour whenever I want. Whether I’m wearing a suit, a flirty dress or my everyday jeans, I know I can embellish my nails with shades that will make me shine and sparkle.

    I remember my grandmother painting my nails when I was in Kindergarten. She sold Avon and has many fun colors.

    can’t remember for sure – somewhere around middleschool/early highschool

  • Avatar Dash July 9, 2013, 1:54 pm

    My grandmother also sold Avon so I can remember her painting them at a very young age.

  • Avatar Michele Behlen July 9, 2013, 8:13 pm

    I can’t remember, I’ve always loved my nails. And having an open bite, I couldn’t bite them and have always had them long. I do remember having a birthday party where my then teenage cousin painted our nails. We were a group of ecstatic grade 4s!

  • Avatar Jennifer Dysart July 12, 2013, 8:19 am

    I think I was probably 7 or maybe younger. my mom gave me that peel-off barbie or tinkerbell polish!

    I Would Say I Was Around 9 When I First Painted My Nails

  • Avatar Bcteagirl July 15, 2013, 12:09 am

    I must have done when I was little, but I don’t remember being very interested in nail polish until adulthood.

  • Avatar Taylor Russell July 15, 2013, 3:57 pm

    My mom would always do them better than me, and then I finally started attempting to do my own when I was probably about 10.

  • Avatar Sonya Parks July 15, 2013, 6:05 pm

    I didn’t really get into doing my nails until my mom passed away last year. I needed a distraction and came across a nail art tutorial and I was hooked. It helped me deal with my grief.

  • Avatar Jessica July 15, 2013, 6:28 pm

    ever since i can remember!

  • Avatar liz l July 15, 2013, 6:36 pm

    prob around 10- I am 35 now!

  • Avatar Erin-Paint Those Piggies! July 15, 2013, 7:51 pm

    I was in elementary school when I got to get my first manicure. I remember choosing a really pretty purple color.

  • Avatar Mariana July 16, 2013, 12:26 pm

    I was probably 4 or 5 when I started painting my nails! I would do it myself with that peel-off kids’ nail polish.

  • Avatar Rachel Rodrigues July 16, 2013, 12:57 pm

    I Was 9 when I started painting my nails

  • Avatar Denise F July 16, 2013, 2:21 pm

    I don’t remember. All I remember was my mom bought me a set of China Glaze polishes and thats when I fell in love and got addicted.

  • Avatar jennifer wexler July 16, 2013, 3:45 pm

  • Avatar Alba Garza July 16, 2013, 4:04 pm

    I was probably around 10. My mom didn’t let us do it when we were little girls. Like my little one, she has been getting color on her nails since she was three!

    35 🙁 I was a serious nail-biter until last September. I finally got tired of the icky look and the pain and stopped biting. They were very short (pretty much just cuticles left) so it took about a two months before I was able to paint the little nubbins.

  • Eileen Campos Eileen Carter-Campos July 16, 2013, 8:13 pm

    My mother was a SUPER STRICT Boriqua so it had to be when I was in junior high school. Painting your nails meant that you were grown…and anything before that was definitely a “NO-NO”…it could have been later–lol

    The nail polish is beautiful!!! 😉

    I was in grade school. My sister and I did each others nails.

  • Avatar Mandy M July 18, 2013, 4:31 am

    I was probably around 4 years old when my mom bought Tinkerbell nail polish for me. It would peel off so you didn’t need to use polish remover.

  • Avatar elisa July 19, 2013, 12:20 am

    I remember having disney scented peel off nail polish when I was around 4, do you guys remember that stuff?

  • Avatar Laura Jacobson July 21, 2013, 9:36 pm

    Oh my grandma used to do mine when I was little…probably around 3 or 4 years old. I loved when she would sit and do them! Such beautiful memories!

  • Avatar Rachel H July 22, 2013, 10:11 am

    My mom always did my nails when I was little. So probably around 11 was when I first did them by myslef
