Mondays are usually drab, dull, boring, and people like me usually loathe them because there is so much to be done in the weekend I almost feel that Monday should be my re-coup day.
Last week I celebrated my 32nd birthday! Filled with so much love, energy and positivity it was a great way to bring my 32nd year in.
I adore manicured nails. I think it's so feminine and the classy thing to have your fingernails primped and primed looking fab! Personally even if I look a hot mess in the hair/face department having something pretty to look down at on my hands makes me feel like I'm not so much a hot mess after all.
In high school I was GUILTY of acrylic tips (Crystal if I had a little extra cash). It was the IN thing to do when I was between the ages of 15-23. Every two weeks I took my allowance and had some random colors with freakishly dramatic airbrushed designs (which came with the $25 set or $15 fill in). I specifically remember having pale yellow nails with white zebra stripes airbrushed. It was loud! Now looking back I wouldn't have my nails that long nor damage my nails with all of that acrylic (although it looked so pretty). It was a B to get my nails hammered at bi-weekly.
Then something changed! Manicures became the "in" thing, a heck of a lot cheaper too. Short nails are now on trend (don't know what "on trend" means..basically it's current, it's what fashion/beauty critics and advisors say WE (the consumer) should be doing)! And I LOVE IT !!!!
Fall manicures are my favorite. It's the time of year it's acceptable to be very daring in your lacquer choices. Currently I am wearing Zoya's Emerald Green which is called "Giovanna". I've been eyeing it for quite some time and being that none of the salons I frequent carry the Zoya collection I spent the $8 on this fab polish. It's definitely a polish that remind you of Christmas time. But the trend report for F13 states Emerald Green is on trend...so...I had to have it!
But that's not REALLY what I want to show you today! This morning I had to do an exchange at Macy's and ended up at the Dolce Gabbana cosmetics counter at the HSQ 34th St. location. Can we all just say "ahhhhhhhh"!!!! The sales lady tried to get me on this $37 lipstick....no way was I doing that even with a store credit! So..what did I buy...a $24 nail lacquer called "Wild Green 178"
All I heard was "made in France", and saw how nice and perfectly thin/thick the consistency was and I fell head over heels with it. Additionally I had been looking for a GREAT Hunter Green color.
There she is! And I can't wait to take this fab "Giovanna" off and put "Wild Green 178"on!
