Winter Nails

Hello, hello.

A snippet of the colors I will be cycling through this winter. They are all fabulous. If I could send all of you a package with these four beauties, I would.  Here are the deets: 

Essie's No More Film: This dark blue sometimes looks violet. In my book, that's the best kind of blue there is. Also, cheers for a one-coat polish. A+ in opaqueness. 

Essie's Wicked: My husband picked this out and allowed me to jump on the vampy nails bandwagon. Unlike No More Film, it's a two-coater. But it lasts for days and you'll be right on trend.

Revlon's Copper Penny: The color is a happy, happy marriage of rose goldy-coppery beauty. But beware. As many metallic polishes go, the texture is a little rough without a topcoat. But Revlon also makes an awesome topcoat, so you can pick them up in the same aisle.

Sally Hansen's Insta-Dry in Expresso: This post could also be title "AN ODE TO SALLY HANSEN INSTA-DRY". The brush is enormous. It dries fast. It lasts for a long time. Usually they take one coat. And it's cheap. This color in particular hints at the 90's comeback that's been all the rage these days.

Now, my hunt for a winning base coat still continues. Throw suggestions at me.
