...for starters someone needs to tell him what it means to be a Sugar Daddy...Being married to Coach is a constant battle. A battle of the wits and a battle with keeping him full. I've tried very hard in 2012 (hey, it's been over 6 weeks!) to pay attention to what's important to him. So the meals have been pretty rocking and well, there's this one other thing.
I am a very consistent dresser. Modest and simple with some huge jewelry. Lip gloss and the same perfume. Done and done. But Coach, well, he's a Jersey boy. I think he would love it if I busted out some cheetah print and high heels. It's not ever happening, but we can let him hope.
In any case one thing he is really fired up about it colored nail polish. 100% out of my comfort zone. I have been alternating between clear/American mani/Essie Bubble Bath for as long as I can remember. All of which look like I have nothing on my nails. I keep them short-ish and simple.
But.
He asked. So I am trying. Every morning I wake up, get a glimpse of them and shudder. One morning last week I thought my hands were bleeding. That's how much of a chasm it was for me to cross. But the other morning he brought me a drink in bed when I woke up. So it appears that we are *attempting to* meet in the middle. Here's what I have managed to do this year. I have a bottle of Chanel Blue Satin that he's jonesing for. But he's going to have wait, that might make my heart stop.

I love the Finely Pruned!!
You have put that last line in there and you have NAILED it perfectly! Love my honey but he can be a test sometimea!!
beauitimus..the simple wants from a simple man!!
Pretty! That's too funny.... Mr. Sasha gets all in a tizzy if I wear anything other than plain old red. And you know I never wear plain old red, so he's always in a tizzy. "Did you know your nails are GREEN?" he asks. "Why, yes, of course!"
I am the exact opposite. I love to have color on my nails and last week my 12 year old girl asked me to have a french manicure.-Keep looking down and think what happened to my fingers- try OPI California Raspberry nice spring color
Love it! I'm the same way - I've never been a nail polish girl, except for my toes, but that's different. Recently I've stepped out of my box though and started putting polish on my nails and I must say - I love it!
I'm not a huge fan of having red nails either, so I totally relate. My husband doesn't like it when I do paint my nails, but I have to admit it makes them look more professional. Yours look great!
My husband is the opposite! He hates when I wear weird colors on my nails. I have OPI "Lincoln Park After Dark" on right now and he's not a fan. He also hates blues, greens, and glitter on my fingernails. He said I can do whatever I want on my toes haha. I do tend to stick to red, pink, or nude colors on my fingers, but it's fun to add some color sometimes
Funny!! We have the same style. : ) I like the Suzy loves Chocolate.
I love the chocolate one too. Dutch Tulips is one of my all time go-to colors for my toes in the Spring. I am a French manicure girl myself, but I am currently wearing dark purple on my toes...that was a stretch for me. Good for you for branching out!
I'm not a fan of polish on my nails either...but your nails look great!!
I love the Dutch Tulips choice!!
I feel the same way as you...I prefer nearly-nude pale pinks on my hands (OPI Passion is my first choice, then Bubble Bath, then Essie Mademoisele) and darker on my toes in the winter/brighter in the summer. I *love* Oh To Be 25 Again on my toes! I think that and I'm Not Really a Waitress are my two favorite "winter" toe colors! :) Good for you for trying something new!
Ugghh..Essie Mademoiselle. I swear I know how to spell! ;)
I typically keep it very simple also, or I choose a crazy dark color. Two weeks ago, my husband was out of town and when he came home, he came to my work to take me to lunch. I had painted my own nails red (red?!?!?!?) the night before and for the first time in over 6 years together HE commented. He loved the color. Who knew? LOL. I guess it's the little things.
I have always liked to wear fun and funky colors on my toes (blue, silver, bright green, etc), and a French manicure on my fingers. I have recently discovered that when I wear the brights on my fingernails it makes me feel younger (and at *gasp* 40, I am all about trying to feel younger).
