Sula Paint and Peel Nail Polish - one of my new favorite things!

Being a mom of 5-month-old twins means no time for beautifying, but I came across this product at Anthropologie last weekend when my mom was visiting us from Oregon, and we took her to the Grove. Sidenote: Our family grew up going to the Farmer's Market on 3rd and Fairfax (my dad had his first job there when he was 15), and when she saw the Grove, all she could remember was that it used to be a big dirt lot. Quite a change from the old place, for sure.

Sula Paint and Peel nail polish is free from the icky stuff in most nail polishes, which is important since I'm always with my precious babes.

I was looking for a nice matte gray polish (for the last year or so) ever since I saw Angie wearing it, and found the nail color "Dove" at Anthro. It dries darker than I was hoping for - definitely more black than gray. But I found another supplier in Ulta, the beauty supply store and picked up "Tango" (a lovely summery orange), "Berry"  (dries crimson-ish), and "Blush" (a gorgeous and sheer shell pink), all on clearance. Now I'm hooked and want more, more, more!

And all because - you don't need nail polish remover to take off the color!

It really does just peel off, and I don't have to spend more than 20 seconds on applying or removing my nail color. Important when I only have 20 seconds to myself, while I'm standing at the kitchen counter waiting for water to heat up. This could be considered a drawback to some, because if you keep your hands in hot water for a few minutes, i.e. to wash dishes or take a shower, the nail polish will just slide off your nails (unless you use the Sula Permanent Top Coat). But for me, it's the easiest way to feel a little more fancy in my busy day.
