When I was a child, my mom took me to a child psychologist to see why I was acting strangely when I came home from my father’s house during the summers. The thing I remember most clearly about that interaction is that he was wearing argyle socks, and that’s the day I learned what argyle was, and the word of it. After our session, he told my mother that I “sparkled like a diamond.” She repeated that story to me many times over the years before she passed in July of 2022, and it was a common theme in gifts she would give for Christmas and birthdays. But I’ve always been obsessed with all things glittery and sparkly, so when I discovered Cristine on Simply Nailogical and her gorgeous Holo Taco nail polish sets, I was immediately addicted. About once a month, I completely reset my nails with a different style, and it’s something my husband tolerates because it makes me happy. I love him extra for allowing me to have this habit, and while it’s a bit expensive, for me it’s completely worth it.
