Hey
There!
So
you came back to see what my favorite nail polish of all time (or 2014) was.
Well...I'm gonna make you wait...but just for a few paragraphs.
Instead,
we are going to talk about what I wore on my toes for the past week. Tee hee. I
know, I'm such a tease. On my toes this past week I wore my Lancôme polish in
Very In Love. It's a pretty pinky red that compliments my complexion. I topped
it off with my Sinful Colors polish in Gilded. Gilded really brought out the
pink in the Lancôme polish. I spent a lot of time during the holidays, at folks
homes where taking off your shoes was mandatory (or strongly advised). You definitely
want your toes to look cute when you are visiting the fam.
The
Lancôme polish wears well but again, it was on my tootsies so it usually does.
The Sinful Colors polish sealed the deal. I know that I can get another 2 weeks
or so of wear from this combo. It seems like it would be a weird combination
but I like it. My feet will see this dynamic duo again.
And,
for my favorite polishes of the year....
L'Oreal
Collection Privée in doutzen's nude and China Glaze Nail Lacquer in Travel in
Colour. The China Glaze top coat is NO surprise to anyone. I wore this sucker
as a top coat, party nail, whatever I could get it on. I only have the mini
size, but I have three of those bad boys. Running out is NOT an option.
The
L'Oreal polish might be a surprise. The color is certainly not. I told you that
warm light chocolate with a hint of strawberry is so delicious on my hands.
I've worn this color many times and then I get ticked off about the chipping
and take it off. Yes, the formula sucks moose balls but when the color is this
pretty, you deal with it.
I
did say that I wouldn't purchase another L'Oreal polish until the formula
changes and I haven't. I just can't get with chipping after 24 hours. My plan
this year is to find another polish formula with a similar color so that I can
retire this one but still have that beautiful color.
And
do you see what happens when you add the China Glaze as a tip color? Geeze La-weeze
that's pretty! I stared at my own darned hands all day. I didn't need any
compliments...I made my own!
So
there you have it. My 2 favorite colors of 2014. So pretty and fun. AND, I did
decide to do a monthly nail polish round up this year instead of each week. I
tried the weekly thing and the pressure was too much! There were so many times
when I wanted to wear a polish 2 or 3 times in a row but I didn't feel that I
could. Now I can comment on what I wore and if I purchase any during the month,
I can save them up for the one time mention. Hopefully that will work.
What
I can tell you is that while I have my eye on some new polishes, I want to go
back and re-wear some oldies but goodies. I have some Wet n Wild and Sinful Colors that I'd like to wear again and I might
have to pull out a spring color on my toes, just to make me feel good. You know
how I feel about winter!
Are
there any colors that you'd like to try this year? Maybe some new brands that
you will look at? I think I may give Zoya another try. They are bringing out
some colors that are right up my alley. And, I'd like to try an Indie brand. I
kept looking for cute colors last year but nothing made me jump.
Stay
tuned. It is a new year!
