Hi, I'm Jenny! :) I am 26 years old, and I am a polishaholic.

Let me tell you how my journey with fingernails started - in between my teeth. I have been biting my nails since as long as I can remember. When I was little, if I could go a week without biting them I would get to pick out a new toy. I didn't get to pick out a new toy very often, haha. After oh so many years of ugly, painful, bleeding nubs I realized that the only time I was able to keep my nails out of my mouth was when they were painted. And they had to be nice and fresh, if they got too chipped I would pick at the polish and then bite them - crazy, I know. One day I was trying to decide whether I wanted to buy a certain polish. I googled it... and was introduced to the wonderful world of nail blogs! A little over a month later, I started my own... and here it is! :D
I am also a medical student, currently in my 3rd year (first clinical year). I am also finishing up my Master's degree in Pharmacology, and my thesis work is studying new natural drugs that could be used in the treatment of leukemias. Not sure exactly what I want to practice when I am all finished up, there are so many things I'm interested in! I am married to my best friend and high school sweetheart Dan - we have been married for over 4 years. I also have six pets (I know, we live in a zoo). Leo and Luna are my crazy 4-year-old bengal kitties, whom you may have noticed in the banner, and Nova is our almost 2 year old Schnoodle puppy.

We also have a blind, mentally challenged garter snake named Silv that we rescued from our backyard - he was dying and I just couldn't stand it, so now he is ours. He will not eat on his own so I have to tube feed him... but he is a really sweet snake and seems pretty happy, so I am glad to do it! Finally we have two gerbils, Niko and Nudge

So there you go, a brief synopsis of my crazy life. Hope you enjoy Polishology!
