I confess, I am a nailpolish addict.
I have ALOT of it and I am always looking for new shades to try. Although back in my tween days, I used only black or red and on top of that, I would never remove it… just letting it chip away and apply a new coat. (tisk tisk) I remember back then wearing black nailpolish was a big no-no. People would just look at you weird, and then out of nowhere all these celebrities started wearing it and then it became OK because Allure and Vogue said so. What’s up with that? But anyhoo, nowadays I like to wear colors that are a contrast but also complimentary (if that makes any sense) to what I’m wearing. So here is my long wordy post on some shades I have tried and what you may want to try yourself:
Yellow, White, Gray, Navy Blue, Fuschia & Bright Pink
