Nails for fall!

I'm not really sure what it says about me that I have a tag in my blog for "nail polish," and that I have more posts tagged with it than I do with "culture"? Just something to ponder.

In any event, I am currently coveting this plush mauve-y shade, Angora Cardi (on essie.com, it actually looks a bit more mauvey-gray, and you know my thing for grayish things), but I can't find it in stores yet. Also, does anyone have any thoughts on the matte-finish nail polish trend, which I saw at Sephora today? Is anyone jumping on this?

Yikes.

My toenails are about to be this color! (It's Flirty Fuschia, if you want to know.)

Also, my writing has been interrupted by my lack of a functioning computer who is actually able to connect to the internet, and will be until I sock away enough money for one of these:

No shrinking violet

After some trials, I finally found the perfect shade of dark nail polish. It's Sally Hansen Salon Nail Lacquer in Deepest Violet, and it's a beautiful deep purplish black color (unfortunately I couldn't find an online shot of the color). My first nail polish attempt was pretty much disastrous. I decided to be brave and go for a dark color, OPI in Russian Navy from the new Russian Collection. It looked pretty and sparkly in the bottle but horrific on my nails.


I'm excited I found such a pretty fall color and to make another acquisition in my obsession with all things The Hills.

Lauren, I heart your nails, even though they're Chanel and mine are CVS
