#MismatchedMani Should Totally Be a Thing

April 29th, 2020 by Karen 15 Comments

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?!

P.S. Happy hump day. Here’s an e-hug. 🤗❤️ How are you doing this morning?

    Ooooh 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!

      Hi 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?

        My 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.

          How 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?

            Yes 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!

            I 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).

    Love the pinkish with the rose gold! And thank you for the morning lol over on Instagram, with Connor Claire’s ‘big pink truck’ post. Ballerina/zoo keeper/Disney Imagineer? Totally doable. 🩰 🦓🦒🐘 🎨

    Love 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!

    Ooooh, 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!

    E hug back! Spool n Barre are my faves, this is fun. Kat Von D used to do the mismatch too.

    This 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.

    Maybe 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!

    I 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?! 🙂

    Love 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! 😉

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
