If we can find time on the weekend, we like to give ourself a mani/pedi.

Over the years, we’ve realized that we prefer our home mani/pedis to any we’ve had at a salon—it’s just so much better to decompress on the couch with our favorite polish while catching up on episodes of The Girls Next Door .

These home treatments also guarantee that our nails are shaped the way we like them (short and square with rounded corners) and our polish covers our entire nail (all the way to the edges).

Of course we still like to be pampered at the salon but more likely than not, we walk away disappointed in one way or another.

To enhance our at-home ritual we try to make it as salon-like and relaxing as possible with scrubs and massage lotions. One of our favorites, OPI Manicure/Pedicure, is now available in two new flavors: Tropical Citrus and Cucumber.

Cucumber has a twist of pineapple and is our absolute favorite—so refreshing!

OPI Manicure/Pedicure scrubs and lotions are available online at OPI.com .

A few days ago, Janey spotted an ad for Nic’s Sticks Paint & Go Nail Lacquer by OPI in US Weekly and has been carrying it around with her since, begging to get the entire collection.

We finally headed over to Target last night where they had the DBP, Toluene and Formaldehyde free polish pens on display.

After selecting Feeling Girly , a soft pink, and Com-pewter-ized, a pale metallic blue, she carefully painted her fingernails, alternating colors. The quick-drying formula is simple and mess-free in the Paint & Go format.

We wanted to paint our own nails with the Nic’s Sticks this morning but Janey hid them after she painted her nails last night. Living in a house full of girls, she’s learning fast.

OPI at Target?

What rock have we been hiding under?

OH… To Be 25 Again! is a lustrous shade of dark chocolatey brown in the new OPI 25th Anniversary Collection.

As we placed this bottle next to our other dark, Vamp-ish shades, several friends commented that they couldn’t tell the difference between Estee Lauder’s Dark Chocolate, Essie’s Wicked, China Glaze’s Vintage, Chanel’s Rouge Noir and this here shade by OPI.

Our only response was, ARE YOU BLIND PEOPLE?

Here you can clearly see why each and every one of these delicious shades of brown are unique in their own ways, and why each shade is a Makeup Bag necessity.

You do see this, right?

Right?

(If you even think of telling us that these colors all look the same to you, we just might have to put polish remover on your paper cut.)
