Since we went on lockdown, I’ve been wearing mismatched nails, with one shade of nail polish on the fingers on one hand, and another shade on the other, and ya know what? I’m completely convinced now that the #MismachedMani trend (It’s totally a thing now.) will forever change nail hoarding habits as we know them.
Now maybe, just maybe, I’ll finally get around to wearing some of the nail polishes in my collection that I still haven’t worn?!
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
P.S. Happy hump day. Here’s an e-hug. 🤗❤️ How are you doing this morning?

April 29th, 2020 at 9:07 amOoooh good post! This is my favorite nail polish! I have most of these colors and love how long it lasts without chips! I’m doing okay today, hoping to go for a long walk after work to get rid of some anxiety and stress!
Karen says
April 29th, 2020 at 9:38 amHi Rachel,
This is one of my favorite formulas too. The top coat is really great!
I’m glad you’re doing OK today. I was struggling yesterday but am feeling much better now that I’ve worked out.
Where will go walking after work? Around your neighborhood?

April 29th, 2020 at 9:49 amMy neighborhood is an older neighborhood in my town, so there’s lots of old houses and full grown trees. It’s a great place for walks. I also live really close to the “Greenway” which is a big park next to the river with walking/biking trails.
Karen says
April 29th, 2020 at 9:53 amHow lovely! I think that any day you get to see water while you’re walking is a good day. 🙂 Is the river big enough to do water-related activities?

April 29th, 2020 at 9:55 amYes a lot of people take their boats out and go catfishing. Recently they’ve opened up a little kiosk where you can rent canoes, kayaks, and stand up paddle boards by the hour. I have rented a kayak once with a friend and it was a good time!

April 29th, 2020 at 10:11 amI did river kayaking once in Kauai and it was super fun. We paddled up the river to a remote spot, then parked the kayak in a designated spot, and then hiked up to a waterfall.
Are there a lot of mosquitos by the river? I remember that being one of the things that I wasn’t super thrilled about (thank goodness for bug spray).

April 29th, 2020 at 1:27 pmLove this and I think I’m going to have to try it! I’ve seen “skittles” manis and matching your lip color to your nail polish, but not this. You’re starting a new trend!

April 29th, 2020 at 1:38 pmOoooh, that “Labels Only”! *hearts for eyes emoji*
I can unmatch my socks but I haven’t donned nail polish in awhile, especially since multiple handwashings has been required and the OCD tendency in me would feel very unbalanced by the unmatching hands. But I can see how this would be very appealing and efficient for those with multiple colors in their stashes!
Love the length and shape of your nails, btw!

April 29th, 2020 at 2:08 pmE hug back! Spool n Barre are my faves, this is fun. Kat Von D used to do the mismatch too.

April 29th, 2020 at 11:54 pmThis Essie formula is my favorite drugstore nail polish. I even use the top coat on other polishes to help them last longer.
I saw YouTuber Alicia of Kinky Sweat wearing different colors on each hand and I tried it for my manis in January and February. But since I’ve been washing my hands like crazy for the pasty 7 weeks, my nails are beyond dried out and in the worst shape ever, so I’m trying not to put anything on them that I would need to remove with drying remover.

April 30th, 2020 at 5:41 pmMaybe I should give myself a pedi! (I say as I type this into my phone while I’m in the bathtub…) Despite the fact I never do anything to my fingernails, I do like watching nail YouTubers and they often have mismatched hands!
Nina says
May 1st, 2020 at 10:34 amI soo agree, this should be a thing!! Every time I decide it’s time for a manicure which is about once a week I stand in front of my OPI collection and can’t decide which shade to wear. Then I narrow it down to two shades. Then I stare at them like an idiot again pondering which to choose. Why not just keep them both?! 🙂

May 4th, 2020 at 8:44 amLove these colors! Keep on mismatching- it looks perfect! Doing that myself all the time if I have too many nail polishes to try out! Hahaha- you could also mismatch your toe-nails! 😉
