Maintain gmail contacts in Outlook without syncing?

Is there any way to setup outlook to directly maintain gmail contacts WITHOUT syncing?

I have two outlook profiles (one for work(exchange) and one for gmail (personal).

For my personal gmail outlook profile, it created a personal.pst, with my gmail account as a separate hive.  I can drill down through that to get to the folder of mail, but when I add a contact, it goes into my local personal.pst and NOT my gmail.

Because I switch between two outlook profiles (work and personal gmail),  I don't want to use the gmail contact syncing tool because I fear it might accidentally sync my personal gmail to work if my work profile is active when the sync fires.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Mike

Thanks for the reply. I did entertain having two separate windows profiles but dread having to switch between the two.
