What Are You Wearing on Your Nails?

May 13th, 2010 by Karen 57 Comments

Not that it was hot here today, but I felt like something warm on my nails, so I went with Scorcher. It’s the orangey red from the MAC To The Beach collection (the other color in the collection is the avocado-like In the Buff). I wore Scorcher on my tips and Chanel Jade on my toes.

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

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

P.S. I think I’m calling it a night — rather, I think I’ll step away from the computer and go grab a bite to eat with El Hub. Whatever you do, have a great night. Treat yourself to something for desert! 🙂 Tabs says hi. I know he wants to go to dinner with us… Sorry, tabby.

    Have fun spending time with your hubby and tell Tabs I said “hi”!

    I am wearing Essie’s Anniversary Gala on my fingernails. I like sheer polishes best, because I stink at doing my own nails. This way, if I mess up, it’s less noticeable!

    My toes are naked right now – I think a pedicure is in my future this weekend!

    Since it’s 11:30 p.m. here on the East Coast, I’ll say “goodnight”! I am now off to get some sleep!

    I’m wearing a hot coral shade, an old L’Oreal called “Mango-Get-Em”! Amusingly enough, when I went to my MAC store today, the color looked identical to Scorcher in the bottle! I must’ve been subconsciously influenced or something…..

    BCBGeneration’s “No Diving”; it’s a light blue, I thought it would be a nice dupe for the new Chanel color. I found it at some dinky cosmetic outlet store–it’s pretty!

    Sephora by OPI’s Mermaid to Order on my fingernails, and Lippmann’s Purple Rain on my toes. I know, super BRIGHT colors that don’t match each other… or anything else, for that matter. It’s okay, it’s very summery (and it’s been humid here lately!).

    When I thought of Tabs having dinner with you guys, I thought of that Garfield comic where he stows away in the car when Jon and Liz have dinner at a fancy restaurant. Garfield ordered lasagna. 😀

      I love the entire OMG collection! About 4 weeks ago, I went on a China Glaze holo purchasing spree and so I have most of the OMG and Kaleidoscope collection. IDK was my last purchase. I haven’t received it yet (because the seller was sooooo slow to ship) but I’m excited about it. High five for holos!

    tonight is my daughter’s senior prom so we had a manicure party last night. some of the girls used the Sally Hansen HD polishes i won in your giveaway (thanks Karen!!!!!) and some of the others used Sally Hansen’s hard as nails extreme wear in gunmetal and red carpet. They are good, cheap, and last long enough. I’m wearing Black out. why not?

    MAC Originality nail polish (the gold one from Prêt-à-Papier). I thought of wearing Scorcher yesterday because I had just purchased yet (the collection was launched in France yesterday) but I was more in a gold-mood than a red mood. I’m quite liking Originality.

    I’ve got nothing on my toes since it’s freaking winter again in the middle of May so there’s no point wearing nail polish on my feet since nobody but me’s going to see it.

    I think the entire To the Beach collex is HOT! I’m wanting both nail colors- even the dirty avacado one!

    Right now I have China Glaze’s Grape Pop on my nails (from the Up In the Air collex). I totally love this purple. It’s just perfect…not too red, not too blue and the perfect cream.

    I’m dying for Sally Hansen’s Hidden Treasure right now but cannot find it here in San Diego to save my life! Ugh!

    Happy Friday, gals!

    I’ve got on some dark purple nail polish I picked up in the clearance section at Hot Topic. The color doesn’t even have a name, but I like it anyway. It’s turned out to be a lot more durable than some other, more famous nail polish brands.

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).
