Miracle of Miracles

If you are a long-time reader here, you may have remember me mentioning my fingernail struggle before.  Struggle, as in, I have never, ever been able to grow out my fingernails.  A combo of biting and breaking has always brought me down...
But not now!  I'm sure it is somehow attributable to those lovely pre-natal vitamins I take daily, but regardless, I have real bonafide nails (but in fairness, I never managed to grow nails my first pregnancy or for the first 5+ months of this one, so maybe it's some other factor).  Longish, prettyish nails that really begged to be painted.  So, I hit up Target yesterday looking for some fun, neutral, fall shade that would compliment my newest accessory.
First off, if I haven't said it enough already...I love Target!  If you've had nails for awhile now, you probably already know that they carry tons of great nail polish brands, including OPI and Essie...yay!  I debated several colors in their collections for as long as Colton would tolerate it (we're having sit in the cart issues lately...super!).  I eventually decided, though, on a Sally Hansen Hard as Nails color: Grey Area.  I was sold because 1. I had kind of had gray in my head all along and 2. It was a fully $5 cheaper, and the budget-conscious side of me (see Josh, I do pay attention) figured it was a good place to start to see how well this whole polished nail thing goes.
While I can not attest to the durability of the polish (it has only been on a day!), I do L.O.V.E. the color.  Pardon my terrible painting job (and the horrid camera...oh, how I miss my Sony), and check it out:

Are you all loving that color too?  I am so excited at this whole new world opening up to me.  I'm really hoping I can maintain this because some of those Essie colors are totally calling my name.  Do you all have any recommendations for me?  Favorite colors?  Do share!
