What Are You Wearing on Your Nails?

April 14th, 2011 by Karen 56 Comments

C is for cookie, Canada and also for Chanel. I’m feeling a little nostalgic tonight, so I’ve got 2009’s Chanel Vendetta on my fingers and Jade on my toes.

How about you? What are you wearing on your nails?

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

P.S. Hey, good lookin’. It’s (almost) Friday, at last. I was just thinking that we should start a petition to officially declare that every weekend be a three-day weekend. We could send it with Tabs to Washington. Maybe dress him in a sharp suit and tie. 🙂

Tonight’s my last night here in Canada, and I’m plum tuckered out. The mission, which I still have to be cryptic about for a little longer, was a success. It was like a James Bond movie, filled with intrigue, secret doors, unique technology, provocative personalities and catchy nicknames. Pretty soon…

What’s new in your neck of the woods? Anything new to report?

    I know what’s in Toronto! MAC! Hehe. Right now I’m wearing a shimmery sheer polish. So outside my normal glitters and bright, opaque colors. I just felt like wearing something soft and girly. It’s Sinful Colors Social Ladder in case anyone was wondering. It’s so pretty and would look good as a layering polish too.

    I always forget how pretty Vendetta is…

    Drugstore color on the tips – NYX Vamp, a glossy eggplant. Spent the money on a pedi – my fab nail pro did OPI Glitzerland plus copper on the tips with a glitter overlay combining both those colors and more. Bling-y but tasteful!

    Fingers are bare this week. Toes have Revlon’s Oh My Magenta with Kiss Me Coral on top. The pink was a bit too blue and the coral was too sheer to wear alone but together they make magic!

    On my nails I have Love & Beauty Grey (the polish from Forever 21). It’s funny because Grey is actually a deep olive green.

    On my toes I have one my all time faves, China Glaze For Audrey.

      Watch out for the London Butters (I’ve never been more disappointed in nail polishes) they start chipping hours after application.

    I’m wearing one of OPI’s metallic nail polishes. A mix between gold and silver? I’m not sure of the name. HOWEVER, I bought Sun Worshiper from China Glaze and have been wearing that lately. It’s a neon orange and it looks FAB on darker skin tones.

    My tips are nekkid as I’m giving them a break from polish for a couple of days, but I’m rocking Mimosa on my toes. I know, it’s not summer yet, but I picked this up @ Chanel on 57th St. a week ago and couldn’t wait to wear it! For those of you on the fence about this one, it does NOT disappoint. Just sayin’…:P

    Karen, hope you enjoyed your stay in my lovely city of Toronto 🙂 Fortunately the sun shone all week but it’s hella chilly today, isn’t it?? Can’t wait to hear about your secret mission!

    I need a mani/pedi tomorrow. The pedi must be quite dark, because my big toe nail is quite colored (blue-green-purple) because – no kidding – I fell over a yoga-mat last November (it is a really dangerous sport!!!) and it will take a year till it is grown out. So I think Vendetta or Chanel Maniac for pedi. My hands are usually Chanel Lily Beige or OPI I’ll take the cake but I might try a brighter color like Chanel Splendeur or OPI on Collins Avenue.

    This week I’m wearing OPI’s Diva of Geneva from their Swiss collection, although I think Revlon’s Pronto Purple is a really close match and is *dare I say* a nicer shade.

    On the feetskies I have Essie Boat House with a swipe of Essie Tennis Corset on top! Fun sparkly bright pink with gold sparkle on top.

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

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).
