A Few More Manis For You

As long as I'm posting, how about a few more pictures of manis in October?

NARS Swatches

I was looking at tomorrow's Day Of Truth item, and I can tell that is going to be a REALLY hard one for me to write. So instead of obsessing about it, I think I'll post some swatches for you. Here's what I bought from NARS when the colors were put back on the site:

Aren't they gorgeous?

Midnight Express has been on my wishlist FOREVER. Probably only second to Clarins 230 and  Chanel Holographic. And Zulu is the first time I've gotten a backup polish, although I haven't even gone through a third of my first bottle. Oh, and I did also buy a bottle of Zulu for my friend, which I'm sure I'll manage to get in the mail to her sometime next year. So, what do these polishes look like on my nails? Let's take a look.

Dark does not mean dismal.

By now, everybody has probably figured out that I pretty much like all the colors. Today I'm going to share some of the lovely dark colors I've painted my nails with.

Nail Polish; or My Pretty Nails

Anybody who gets to know me will find that I'm quite enamored of nail polish, and am willing to spend time nearly every day painting my nails, and making them look pretty. It's an indulgence that I wouldn't want to give up, as it's one thing that can look pretty, no matter how cruddy I look otherwise. My psoriasis is not attractive (yeah, duh), and affects everything. Because my skin is so sensitive, I have trouble with makeup. Because my scalp has so many spots, I have to try to cover bald patches, and my hair doesn't exactly style easily. Because it hurts to even move so often, I'm overweight, so fashion isn't really doable for the most part. But my nails, they can be pretty with just a little effort.
