New Day, Same Nails

Yesterday was busy -- filled with work, errands, cooking dinner, and eventually, crashing early on the couch.  I woke up on the couch...late...and was wide awake.  Hate it when that happens.  So...I did the only logical thing I could think of:  I painted my nails.

I've been stuck in a bit of a nail rut lately and have literally painted my nails the same color for the past 3 weeks.  It's hard this time of year, since we're in a seasonal transition.  It's still technically winter but getting closer and closer to spring.  I've been wanting to wear colors that aren't dreary but aren't exactly bright and bold, either.  My go-to color has been Blowing Raspberries -- a deep pinkish-red.

I have an addiction to Butter London polishes, but holy moly are they expensive!  I've only bought them during Ulta's buy 2 for 1 deal (2 for $14, I think).  I'd like to expand my collection but would prefer to find another great brand that doesn't wreck my budget.  That's where YOU come in!  Does anyone have any great brand suggestions?  Also, what colors are you wearing during this time of year?  I'm ready to switch out my polish, but I need some help!
