Introductions!

After much big talk of starting a nail blog to friends and family, I have finally decided to go ahead and do it!  Hopefully I will be able to keep up with it, and find some people that are interested to see what I have to offer on nails and nail art.  So if you are reading this, hello and thanks so much for stopping by!

As a bit of an introduction, I will say that I am a big nail biter, and have been since as long as I can remember.  And I don't just chew on my nails a bit - I bite them all the way down to nubs.  When I was younger they used to bleed often because I would bite them down so far.  As I grew up, I realized one of the only ways I could keep myself from chomping on them was to keep them polished.  And the polish had to be nearly perfect, or I would pick off the rest of the polish and then chew the nail.  Sad, I know.  But this led me to because somewhat polish-crazy, and lately that necessity has turned into a true nail polish hobby.  I now find myself reading all of the latest blogs, knowing way more than I ever thought I would about the different brands and terms, and also being introduced to Konad about two weeks or so ago.  It has been a lot of fun!  And so far, so good - I have not bitten my nails in over a month and hope I can keep that streak going!

I am also an MD/PhD student, and have finished my first two years of medical school and just began my first year of graduate school.  My husband is also in the same program that I am in, and we both hope to be done with the program in five years to become full-time physician scientists!  The title for my blog was inspired by our love of science - it was actually my husband who first suggested the use of the ending "-ology" for the blog.

I have two Bengal cats, Leo and Luna, who are my babies and I absolutely adore, so don't be surprised if they make their way into this blog from time to time.  I also have two gerbils, Navi and Ciela.  I have two sisters, a younger one that lives practically down the street and an older one that lives too far away.   My parents, my in-laws, and several members of my extended family all live nearby as well.

I think that should just about do for initial introductions, I hope you enjoy my blog!  I will plan on getting my first actually polish post up tomorrow - I will be showing off the Orly Cosmic Fx Space Cadet that I am wearing now.  It is stunning!
