What's on my nails today?

Hi everyone!


As I already said yesterday, when I showed off the gorgeous Lacquer Lust Garnet, if I managed to keep my manicure sort of intact I would try to stamp on it... so here's the stamped version!

A swatch this time just to show off one of the polishes I received in 2014 as an anniversary present. This is Lacquer Lust Garnet, the January polish of the Birthstone collection.

Hi everyone!


Today I'm wearing a black and silver skittle manicure that is almost completely copied from a french blog called Vernis en folie (about 2/3 down the page).

Hi everyone,


a plain classic red manicure today with a bit of a background story.

Tomorrow is my fathers birthday. He passed away in 2011 so I can't go for a visit with cake and presents, but I can honor his memory by wearing his favorite kind of manicure: classic red without any form of nail art.

He never commented on my manicures although I did see the occasional raised eyebrow. One day, completely out of the blue, he said he didn't mind the crazy colors and patterns I usually put on my nails but to him the most perfect manicure was a plain red one, not bright screaming in-your-face red but sophisticated and feminine. Ever since he told me that, I've been wearing a red manicure on his birthday and, later, also on the anniversary of his passing.

I'm pretty sure he would have loved this color: OPI Romantically Involved.

Hi everyone!


Another simple manicure but with a very luxurious feel to it: white and gold leaf!

Hi everyone,


a quick post during my lunch break... but I just had to show you this beauty!

Hi everyone!


I had to pick up some cotton pads from the local drugstore this morning and I couldn't help myself, I had to take a peek at the Catrice display. Imagine my surprise when I saw a brand new limited edition display, VISIONary. Of course the four polishes ended up in my basket :)

Hi everyone!


Pantone has chosen Marsala as the color of the year 2015. From their website:
A naturally robust and earthy wine red, Marsala enriches our minds, bodies and souls.

I didn't have a clue what polishes were marsala, so I googled and I found Zoya Marney and Nicole by OPI Cinna-Man Of My Dreams are supposed to be perfect examples. And as it happens, those two have found a home with me so now they appear in my manicure :)
