What Are You Wearing on Your Nails Today?

March 13th, 2010 by Karen 55 Comments

The sun finally came out (we’ll see how long it lasts, hmm), and the blue skies inspired me to paint my paws with MAC’s Blue India ($12; on counters now).

I like the color, but from certain angles it kinda reminds me of my friend’s hoopty Buick back in high school.

Still deciding on what to do with my toes…

What nail polish are you rocking today?

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    I’m still wearing my favorite Essie Peach Daquiri nail polish. I love all nail colors, but when you find one you really love(and looks fabulous), you’ve gotta stick with it!

    Love that nail color, maybe I’ll try it soon!

    I’m wearing a chipped up version of the NOTD I posted Monday (linked below). It’s Borghese Flora Peony, China Glaze Jetstream, Sinful Opal Glitter, bow stickers every other nail and a bed of rhinestones on the others. Very girly, but I don’t think it’s necessarily over the top, especially if I don’t wear pink clothes with it lol.

    OPIs Clubbing Til Sunrise. It’s a burnt orange color – not my favorite, but last night my high school had a dance we call MORP, or prom backwards. Everyone dresses up insanely weird and crazy, and it’s a lot of fun. The color got the job done lol. 😀

    I’m wearing my first frankenpolish! I mixed a teal glitter and a tiny bit of silver glitter in clear polish. Then, I layered it over Man Glaze Fuggen Ugly (a matte gunmetal gray). It’s my ode to Tim Burton’s Cheshire Cat in Alice in Wonderland. Sadly, it’s chipping really badly, and it’s been less than 24 hours. Darn matte polish for not having any staying power! Blue India looks stunning on you. 🙂

    My nails are Color Club Best Dressed List – it’s like a mauvey nude. My toes are Sephora OPI’s Iris I Was Thinner, which sucks as a name, but it’s a super pretty purple – I have the mini from the spring set, but I might have to get a full bottle of this one.

    I’m wearing Claire’s mood nail polish in Earthy/Happy. It’s neon yellow when warm and medium kelly green when cold. The color change is nifty because it’s not a binary flip from one color to the other, but rather a subtle spectrum of color shifts. I get to enjoy the look of a gradient mani or funky french without the effort! There are 5 Claire’s mood polishes in total and they’ve been a hit on the makeupalley.com nail discussion board. I believe these mood polishes debuted at Claire’s in the past 2-3 weeks, so get them before they’re gone! I’m not affiliated with Claire’s in any way; I’m simply geeking out about the color changes!

    I like these much better than Del Sol nail polishes, which change color with exposure to UV rays. I rarely expose my hands to the sun so I wouldn’t be able to enjoy the Del Sol color changes anyway.

    I bought 2 days ago a similar color, mine is just a bit towards green but it’s also nice. 🙂
    Currently I’m wearing a taupe nail polish, Carlo di Roma is the name of the brand. I noticed it for the 1st time so I purchased this color because it reminded me of OPI You don’t know Jacques 😀

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).
