"October 21,2009, I went to Denver for vacation.  On October 23,2009, I was taken to emergency and ended up staying in the hospital for a month.  When I was unconcious laying in the bed, the first thing the nurses noticed were my pretty nails.  My polish stayed on for the entire month!  Although the nails grew, the polish had great staying power.  I was given a bath every day and some days I was given a shower, but the polish stayed the entire time.  After the fifth week I was transfered to a rehabilitation center and, again, the nurses noticed  my nails because the polish was still staying the course.  My nails were so pretty one of the nurses told me she was going to get some artifical nails, too.  I told her the nails were my natural nails.  She had a hardtime believing that. So Mary Foley, you have a customer for life!"

Doris, I'm so glad my Live Like Your Nail Color polish that you used stayed with you while you were in the hospital and rehab.  No matter what color you were wearing at the time, it's name was Doris Has Staying Power because your toes were clearly a reflection of YOU!

A touching story from Darlene B. about a much needed break and her love for her husband Barney.  Seems that she's living like the nail color "Barney Love." 

"Recently my husband of 39 years, was diagnosed with cancer.  I have beening running back and forth between doctors visits, procedures and now the hospital.  My sister-in-law called me and asked, "What can I do for you?"  I told her I really needed to get my nail and toes done.  I just never had enough time or engery to go sit for an hour to get them done.  She traveled five hours to visit her brother, my husband, and made me to take a few hours for myself.  I relaxed and felt so much better about myself.  I felt pretty again.  Live like your nail color is awesome.  My nails are painted bright red for the love I have for my husband, Barney."

"Okay, Mary, you have worn me down!" That's how an e-mail began that I received from Joanne. At first I was concerned. I didn't mean to wear her down. Really, I didn't! I kept reading.

"I didn't know if I was living my nail color. But then I went and looked at the name of every bottle I could find. And there it was: A True Ab-Original. I think that describes me so well, because I am different - my accent is different and my cultural background is different, but I am true to who I am! I am living like A True Ab-Original!"

Joanne really is a true original. She hails from South Africa and now lives in the southern United States. Her British-infused accent definitely stands out and her cultural background gives her a wonderful, fresh perspective as an image consultant.

But, before Joanne could be inspired by the nail color A True Ab-Original, she had to do two simple things. First, she had to take time out of her Wonder Woman busy schedule to consider which nail color really spoke to her. It only took a few minutes to find the perfect color that playfully reminded her of her true, authentic self. Second, she put aside any negative feelings about being different. In fact, thank goodness Joanne is different! What fun would it be if we were all the same? Clearly, no fun at all.
