Winter Lavender


Let me start with a few points: first, I know I keep talking about nail polish; second, I know it's not the most fascinating thing; and third, I know I said I was looking for a green. I bought a dark - nearly black - green and wore it for a day but it was a flop. Despite all of this, I want to show you my newest nail color. I bought it yesterday and love wearing it thus far. It's the most interesting crosses between brown and purple...in fact, I would even venture as far as saying it's BURPLE!! When it's beside brown it picks up the palette and everybody claims it's brown but when it's besides purple and green it looks like a dull lavender. When left to my own accord I stick with earth tones and natural hues in my wardrobe so these nails let me mix in the flowery, girly colors (which I have been searching through without feeling out of comfort range which is one the main reasons I change colors as often as I do). It's beautiful and dull. Actually, it's beautiful in its dullness and I would definitely name it "Winter Lavender". I'm going to look for more colors in the palette, too. Maybe the "Winter Tulip" or "Winter Daffodil" is waiting out there. Ya think?


Btw, the polish is OPI Over the Taupe.

Green please




I found the image above from a google search on "green nail polish" because I have been dying to find the perfect shade of green for my nails. I tried and failed once already, but still I vow to trudge on looking all over God's green Earth in pursuit of the perfect shade of green. I just painted my nails green yesterday morning actually (see photo). However, I wanted to switch after only a few hours FML. The perfect shimmer-less olive-dark green color is out there (kinda like "Polished Princess" by Barielle on the far right side) and I'm going to find that son-of-a-bitch.
