Passive Purple

This color, named Eiffel for this Color by OPI was a bit of a let down.  In the bottle it looks purple with shimmery flecks.  However on my nails I think it looked more like a dark maroon.  Again almost black.  Also I could barely detect the sparkles which was my favorite part about the color I saw in the bottle.  Oh well.

When I removed it I found my nails to be dry and peeling.  I'm giving them a break for a little whiles.  Trying to douse them in cuticle cream.

New thoughts:  I've been really liking the look of neutrals.  I want to continue with documenting my current collection but I might be looking into a new neutrally color as well.  Also I've been thinking about branching out brand wise.  OPI's great, but having a true favorite only counts if you know you don't prefer the other options. So adventuring we go!

New Year's snow

Here is the polish I wore to bring in the New Year.  I know that the glitter polish was very fitting for a New Year's celebration but I got this one from my sister for xmas and I wanted to wear it.  Actually I wore this on my middle fingers for Christmas day as well because the glitter came off and I didn't have the bottle with me.  Lucky it was balanced hand to hand to I decided to do an accent nail.  This is Havana Nights with It  Looks Like Rain Dear layered on top.  Both are from OPI's Sephora line.  My sister got them for me since we don't have a Sephora here and you can only by those colors there.  She is so sweet! I really like this combination.  It got better the longer I wore it too.  It reminds me of mermaids and the sea and also of a new layer of large crystal snowflakes freshly fallen over ice packed snow.
