Matte Love

I've been dying to try a matte top coat, and tonight over delicious Margaritas, lo and behold, a friend had Essie "Matte About You" in her purse. I see why we are friends, Katie.

Why not paint your nails at the Mexican restaurant?

I already had on my coveted (read:only) Deborah Lippmann polish. Some googling tells me the color is "Wicked Game" (more on that below). A fun purple/grey/green from the Vinyl collection sold at Bath & Body Works a few years back. I don't use it often, but when I do... it's awesome. I was feeling it with the dreary, cold weather we've had in Georgia lately.

The results? Pure awesome.
What is UP with my extra short pinky? But check out that duochrome delicousness!
Matte <3!

The matte purple. Dying.


Verdict: Nailed it!

Hard to go wrong with this one. I'll be purchasing my own bottle as soon as I get a paycheck...oh, wait.

Also? I had NO clue the Vinyl line was a nod to Deborah Lippmann's foray into the world of music. I know what me and my Spotify will be doing tomorrow afternoon to fill the time...since I won't be repainting these nails until I'm done admiring the matte beauty!

Great Minds and Margaritas

Don't you wish you could recreate all the awesome nail art you see online? Pinterest (or as I call it, Crack) has been my savior during my recent bout of unemployment, and I just have so many projects...so many...twitch

Anyway. My awesome friends who appreciate and share my affinity for awesome nail polish helped me (along with our dear friend, Margarita) decide to start this blog. We'll see how long it takes for my ADHD to kick in, but for now I feel like this will help justify frequent polish purchases and daily manicures. Just what I need, right?
