When I was a kid, I used to love love love nail polish: the funkier and sparklier, the better. Then I entered puberty and was like every awkward girl in middle school. The less I drew attention to myself, the better. Don't worry, this isn't a sob story or anything! It wasn't until a year or two ago that I realized that nail polish doesn't put a sign on my back for ridicule. Plus, there are other options besides the juvenile highlight hues I grew up with. I realized nail polish can enhance or complement an outfit, lighten or create a mood.
Above is a photo of all the "grown up" ones I own. I realize I have a lot of dark colors: dark purple and THREE different dark blues (one inspired by this
Spring 2008 Chanel one, of course). With Spring, I needed to lighten up the colors. O.P.I.'S "Peas and Qs" stands in for
this Chanel one, different types of coral pinks are always on trend for spring, and some pastel purples from American Apparel. I haven't tried the AA ones yet, but the bottles are pretty enough for now.
It seems like I may have started another addiction...
