About

I’m an ex studio art major, current med student, future surgeon (almost there!). On my blog, I post nail art, nail polish swatches and reviews, nail care tips and tricks, manicure tutorials and the occasional rambling on life as a medical student. The name comes from a little motivational trick that I would do while studying for medical school when things would get rough. I’d write “#1 or die” on my mirror in dry erase marker as a tongue-in-cheek reminder that I needed to stay on top of my game. If you’re interested in guest posting, want me to review something, or anything at all, you can contact me at kelli@polishordie.com
