In the riveting conclusion to my earlier saga in Cheapskates and Glitter Don't Mix, I finally broke down and bought a knock-off version of OPI's Rainbow Connection—Milani's Gems.

I'm quite pleased with the results, even though I still can't believe that I went off the deep end for muppet inspired nail polish.

On the bright side, since I held out until one of my friends pointed out the knock-off brand to me (Thanks, M!), I managed to spend $10 as opposed to the $20 the original version was going for.

So… $10 for a single bottle of nail polish, y'all. It makes my frugal little heart cry. But at least now I can admire my sparkly nails through my tears [image error]
