I’ve been ignoring my paws lately and think I’ll treat them to Deborah Lippmann’s creamy grayish Waking Up in Vegas ($16).
What are you wearing on your nails?

I’m wearing Really Rosy by Revlon.
this is my first comment but i’ve been following your blog for a while now,
just wanted to say keep up the good work, and thanks for all your hard work.
Hi Emma,
Thanks for popping by to say hi. It’s very nice to meet you!
I’ve been very lazy of late, and I have nothing either. I should put on some Orly’s Halley’s Comet, I haven’t worn it yet!
Absolutely! I love putting on polish 🙂 Currently wearing Hit me with your best shot by Lippmann on my toes and Bad Fairy on the paws

Chanel Paradoxal!!
House of Accessories recently posted … Pale Pink to Dark Raspberry Pink All Fringe Fashion Scarf
I haven’t gotten around to seeing that in person, but online it looks so cool! What does it look like on?
hot pink on my nails and gold glitter on my toes
Right now it’s Bronze Green by Mavala (it’s getting colder and colder up here, so I don’t feel for brights and pastels lately). I really wish we had Deborah Lipmann here though, I’ve been wanting to try their glitters for ages!

I’m wearing Layla Ceramic Effect Nail Polish in n.25, a beautiful and intense teal. But I’ve been wearing it for more than a week and it’s just starting to chip so I shall remove it soon and try something else instead.

I have nothing on my nails – well, actually, I have pink and white acrylic – Permanent French. On my toes, however, I have Chanel Rose Khaki – love it!
Hi Bisbee,
Rose Khaki’s so pretty. Love it for toes. 🙂
I’m wearing Waking up in Vegas. lol. I picked it because I’m on my second say at a new job and I wanted to look professional without feeling boring.
Hi Tekoa,
Congrats on the new gig! What are you doing these days?
Give the kitties chin/cheek scratches for me.
Sadly, I’m wearing the faintest specs of L’Oreal I Pink I’m in Love. And, yes, it’s the same super sheer shade that I originally put on in mid-October. I can see the faint glimmer if I turn my nails just right. It’s actually pretty embarrassing that I’ve been so lax!
At least those light pink shades don’t look so obvious when they chip off!
i started this week with orly’s galaxy girl … but bec were moving they got chipped so fast. i took the polish off and trimmed my nails short – at least for this week they will be bare! one less thing to worry about!
Moving will kill your mani in a hot second! Are your toes painted? Gotta have cute toes when you walk around the new place, LOL!
yep! i have opi’s lincoln park after dark on my toes … those are staying there !!!
Zoya Yasmeen
Nars Mash from the vintage collection. Chips easy but I love the colour!
Tracy recently posted … Hourglass Film Noir Mascara
For some reason the name of that polish makes me think of the Monster Mash (it was a graveyard smash!).
I’m wearing Smitten by Confetti, its a dark purple with blue glitter. It’s time to take it off so I think I am going to change it to Black Out by Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear. The color is exactly as the name depicts, a true black.
Hi Babyu21,
I love glitters but they can be such a pain to take off! Do you have a favorite nail polish remover that takes off your glitters quickly?
I’m wearing Viridian by Illamasqua. Just got it in my Sephora order yesterday and it. Is. GORGEOUS. It really does remind me of a beetle’s shell, but prettier. I hope they make it part of the permanent line!
Hi Mel,
Illamasqua makes some interesting, unique colors. Does Viridian flash to different colors in the light?
It flashes from green with bluer edges to teal. The color is fairly dark but lightened by the green microglitter. Application is great too 🙂
OPI DS in Classic. I can’t stop looking at my nails. I like this shade on me better than Butter London’s All Hail McQueen.
Hi Frances,
Bummer about All Hail McQueen. What happened? Was it an undertone thing?
I’ve got on Rimmel’s Finish Pro in Crushed Pearl. It’s a pretty good polish at a fair price, can’t complain!

Hi Karen,
I’m wearing OPI Lincoln Park After Dark…it’s my favorite.
Orly “Witch’s Blue”! It’s a dark shimmery cobalt blue. I wish it was a little bit more on the navy side, but it’s pretty regardless. It’s a little difficult to manage (a wee bit too thick) and for some totally weird reason when I put a top coat on (and I wait 30 minutes between layers!) the polish gets gooey again and I have to e-x-t-r-a careful not to gouge it!
Speaking of nail polish– I’m looking for a new pastel pink, probably with cool tones in it. I’ve got Essie “Need a Vacation”, but it’s streaky and chips really easily (even with a base coat and two top coats!). Anybody have a suggestion??
Currently nothing, but I’m planning on Chanel Khaki Vert later today! Maybe MAC Dry Martini on my toes!
Nothing on my toes, but OPI’s Cuckoo for this Color on my fingers!
i need to polish them today for a job interview so i think a Complete Salon Manicure by sally hansen shade called choco-latte (i think)

I just took off my polish this morning and I’m waiting for my RBL loot to come in. I was able to partake in the 50% off sale this time. I bought 3 shades and the two I really wanted were already sold out 20mns into the sale. Wow, I didn’t realize you had to log in right when the sale starts.
I can’t stop wearing Hunk of Burning Love by SpaRitual – it’s kind of the perfect red. 🙂 My salon has been carrying their line for a while now and I can’t stop buying them! They last a week, easy, especially when I top it with Orly’s quick dry topcoat. 🙂

I am wearing MAC Dry Martini on my hands and currently deciding what to put next on my toes.

I’m wearing OPI Bubblebath, I fancied a classic nude after a week of halloween mani’s last week!
e.l.f. polish from a jewel toned set. It’s DARK blue so dark it looks black. I love it!
Oh, I just got that set. Love all the colors in it, especially that blue!
Have you tried the champagne-y color yet? I put a matte top coat over it, then a regular top coat on just the tips of my nails. So pretty. 🙂
Oh that’s a pretty color… I’ve been trying to find a nice taupe, but I haven’t met one yet that I’ve fallen in love with =/
I’m wearing OPI’s Color So Hot It Berns! Bright red color that FINALLY doesn’t make my skin color look sallow =)

Waking Up in Vegas is one of the two polishes I recently ordered from Beauty.com with the TaDa offer of $30 of product for $15 🙂 The other polish I received is NARS Purple Rain and is the one I am wearing now 🙂
Christy recently posted … My First Blog Sale!
I want Purple Rain just for the name! lol!
I’m a Nailstylist so mine are with UV gel, they are dark red with different colours of rhinestones and glitter stripes in silver and purple…haha sounds so crazy;)

Essie Wicked, is dark and vampy and it makes my nails look like tamarindo (tamarind?) seeds 🙂
BTW this is my first comment 🙂 awesome blog
sephora by opi “mr right now” with sephora by opi “only gold for me” topcoat. it is very festive and reminds me of christmas!
I’ve got on Tapping Nails by Sinful Colors. It’s sort of a pink-tinted orange. I put it on over a week ago and it still looks decent. Nice!

I’m wearing OPI’s Siberian Nights. I NEVER wear dark polishes because of work. I got my first pro mani in 6 months as a reward for getting through a major meeting and this super dark eggplant color called my name. I love it. I wasn’t sure it would be work appropriate but it was fine.
Hahahaha I still have my Halloween nail polish on. I’ve been sick so I haven’t felt like taking it off. I have E-L-M-O on my four fingers and Elmo’s face on my thumbs. I was Katy Perry (from SNL) for Halloween.
I think I’ll take it off later today and put on OPI You Don’t Know Jacques. 🙂
I’m wearing Desert Suede by CND, which I love. It’s a really warm toned tan; almost like pale chocolate milk. One of my favorites!
Zoya Charla, I love it!! with a chevron french only on the left ring finger, in Sinful Colors’ Let’s Talk.
I love also the mushroomy colours, though.
Currently I’m wearing Wet n Wild’s Flirt polish in Lost Love, a transparent shimmer. I needed a break after the alternating black and orange nails I did for Halloween.
Fingers – Zoya Pasha (one of my all-time faves)
Toes – still the orange halloween pedi I put on Saturday. OPI Flit-a-Bit. Need to change this one, but haven’t found a way yet to remove toe polish without messing up the mani, so I’ll wait until I’m sick of the Pasha and then change both.
I’m wearing Vertical Rush by China Glaze on my toes. I’m trying to pick out a color for my tips. Hmmmmm decisions decisions.
It was my birthday last week and got given lots of nice make up goodies so I’m wearing my new OPI OVER THE TAUPE on my fingernails and OPI LINCOLN PARK AFTER DARK. I heart OPI nail polishes!!! xx
One of the Wet n’ Wild holiday colours (I’m assuming that’s what it is as the other options were things like red glitter). It’s a holographic silver glitter and it looks amazing in the sun.
I just threw on a coat of SH Rockstar Pink over the Nox Twilight Red Velvet I was wearing. LOVE it! (And super impressed by the coverage in one coat of the glitter!)
Wearing Zoya Kelly right now but by tomorrow it’ll be NARS Zulu when UPS finally delivers my Sephora haul. I can’t wait!!!
I’m not wearing anything — my nails are stubby, and the cold weather we’ve been having lately (plus the advent of indoor heating season) has turned my hands into dry paws, bad enough that the nails are peeling and breaking. Hopefully hand/cuticle cream will help because there are more than 10 untried polishes in my stash and I’m dying to use them.
Estee Lauder-Surreal Violet on hands and OPI Lincoln Park After Dark on toes! Oh, and your blog rocks Karen! I check it daily 🙂
Sally Hansen’s Hard As Nails in Red Carpet; it’s a great, glitter-shimmery, buildable perfect dark red, like Dorothy’s ruby slippers for your nails! I highly recommend it; it’s super-festive and perfect for the season!
I am wearing Barefoot in Barcelona (OPI) 🙂
My NOTD: turquoise flakies (Nfu Of 54) layered over army green (Jessica Victorian Crush). The flakies flash turquoise, aqua and periwinkle. This is seriously my favorite mermaid mani yet!
