Day 21 #31DC2014: A Color
This day was also pretty open to interpretation - there were so many ways to take this prompt. I wanted to pick out one of my most unique and favorite colors, but I worried that the color wouldn't translate over to pictures that well. Most nail art is better in person anyway! But I wanted to play with one of the most dynamic and eye-catching colors - cobalt blue! I can't resist buying those colors! Any blurple color I fall in love with almost immediately!
HOWEVER -start rant - The only thing I don't understand is WHY they smell so bad! Any blue/purple shade stinks - no matter the brand. My guess is the pigments are what gives it that skunk smell on top of the normal nail polish smell. I notice it in all these blue colors I use plus some other purple shades from drugstore to brands like OPI and Essie. So weird! -end rant-
Anyway, I showcased this color to also showcase Sally Hansen Pacific Blue - the original formula. The whole Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear line has taken a decidedly downward turn in the past few months - the formula for everything has turned goopy and impossible to dry. I bought a bunch of beautiful looking glitter polishes, but the glitter didn't come out of the bottle and the polish never dried on my nails. So sad! I really hope they do something to improve the formula, but the business side of me is thinking they might be wanting to phase that line out and replace it with the Triple Shine line. Who knows!?
So I layered my blue polishes and topped it off with Pacific Blue. It looks great with my skintone and it was a great simple look for the day.
P.S.This is my Cinderella hand! :) My pointer finger will forever be a nub!
