AuburnChick's Nail Polish Collection

I don’t know why, but every time I go to the drug store, I tend to gravitate toward the nail polish.

I think it’s the colorful names:  Chapel of Love, Purple Crush, Violet Vision, Swizzle Stick, Moonlit Madness, Senorita Rose-Alita, Coney Island Cotton Candy, and my newest, purchased today – Iced Spice.
