Seeking Neutrality--Revlon Pure Pearl

First off, thank you for your patience with me as I continue to adjust to my new job.

Second, something happens with my body chemistry/seasonally in October that prevents nail polish from lasting on my nails.  I have no idea what it is but the same thing happened last year.  When the "October curse" hits my nail polish takes forever to dry and then if it doesn't dent or get smudged, it chips and peels within 2 days.  Usually my polish lasts 4-7 days before you notice anything.  I'm not sure what it is because I feel like I've been problem solving my brains out.  Does this happen to anyone else???

As a result of this odd phenomenon, I either wear the dark colors and throw caution to the wind, usually changin my polish up after a day OR I stick to neutrals as they are more forgiving.  This week I'll share some of the neutrals in the polish vault of unpublished pictures:)

Today's neutral is Revlon Pure Pearl.

2 coats on nicely shaped, but poorly cleaned-up nails.

This off white frosty sheer is beautiful, if you don't mind brush strokes or frosty finishes.  It actually isn't too bad compared to other pearlescent frosty finishes.  It is a very elegant neutral.  This polish has been prone to bubbling at times, so be careful and wait between coats.

When do you wear neutrals?

Irish/Gaelic Themed Nails

As many of you can see from my nail art, I have a LONG way to go:)  I have trouble coming up with new, classy nail art that I can wear.  My latest dilemma was seeing everyone's stunning St. Paddy's Day manicures & not having any great ideas of my own.  Worse yet, I don't own any true green polishes! I have a golden green (Barielle Green Opal), a teal (Diamond Cosmetics Don't Teal My Heart Away), a seafoam green (Sinful Colors Open Seas), and a blue-toned sage green (Zoya Bevin) (AND Zoya Edyta, which I forgot about, now that would have been a lovely green to use!!!!!).

I gave it my best effort with what I had & came up with 2 lovely designs that I wore at different times this week:)  Take a peek:

I hope you enjoyed another attempt of wearable nail art from me:)  I know it's not the best, but I did my best with what I had.  Enjoy your weekend & don't forget to smile!

Vintage Lace Manicure

Confession: I enjoy doing nail art, but because I look younger than I am I try to stay away from nail art that can seem "juvenile."  I am forever impressed by the nail art that I see from amazing nail artists.  It's such an amazing art form.  I'm not against wearing nail art, I just prefer to have elegant, classy nails that enhance my style.  You may think  I'm boring, and that's ok.  We're all entitled to our opinions:)

Here is my favorite "go-to" nail art.  My hand-painted lace manicure.  I've done a tutorial on this mani before and it is definitely one of my favorites.  Enjoy:)
