My search for the perfect, nude polish is over. Thank you, @Deborah Lippmann. After experimenting with some high pigment colors over the past couple of years, I realized I needed a good solid break from blacks, blues and golds. Naked is the perfect nude shade because it is polished and opaque, while complimentary to so many skin tones. The Lippmann polishes have great staying power on me. My current manicure is five days old with not a single chip, honestly. Amazing, huh?
So, I was going to a show on Saturday. Like, live music and I wanted to be edgy and cool. I wore my biker jacket and slouchy boots and thought this would be the perfect excuse to use the Sally Hansen Salon Effects in Misbehaved. Think snakeskin or fishnet pattern (far right, third down). They were super easy to apply. Each appliqué has two ends and you can select which one fits your nail bed shape. They are made with real nail polish and you can tell with the scent when you open the package. Although they promised 10 days of wear, mine came off after three days. But it was worth it. Nail art can only be enjoyed for so long.
I needed some celebration in my life (in the form of metallic, opaque nail polish). This a true silver – think like the outside of a Mac Book but shinier. It is not my birthday for another four months, but this color looked like the right kind of party. It wears really well. However, it does not pass for a neutral. This could be fabulous on the beach this summer on sun-kissed tootsies.
While I am excited about the concept of this collection, I wasn’t really sure it would be my thing. But I am totally excited for this nail polish:
The navy blue Spirit of Truth is definitely on my shopping list!
