Tiffany on My Fingertips


I've decided that I will not give into the Chanel Jade phenomenon but instead give you an "in" on my latest nail polish loves. My search for a gray brought me to the affordable yet professional quality China Glaze. My first purchase of this brand was made while browsing Ebay in which I pressed the BUY button for "Recycle".
The color is a creamy medium gray that is extremely versatile and can look both sophisticated and casual. Even though the hubby likes black and says gray is too generic, I completely disagree. Black polish is great for when I'm feeling nostalgic or in a goth mood, but the gray is perfect for those middle-of-the-road days when you just feel like matching your favorite gray outfits and lately, gray has been my color of choice.

But enough about gray. So while I was browsing Ebay to see what else it had in store for me, I noticed that the company had a beautiful, bright turquoise hue called "For Audrey". Think Tiffany blue. Well, it wasn't too hard to convince myself I had to get it since my favorite color is aqua. Luckily, on a trip to Sally's Beauty Supply, I found that they had a whole selection of China Glaze and the shade that I so wanted. I'm currently sporting this light turquoise blue shade and it's much more wearable than I thought it would be. It's more creamy than bright and is a really lovely shade of robin's egg blue. I've been wearing it non-stop although I did have to give my nails a rest for a couple of weeks. Very Easter but also perfect for the drab winter weather. It gives a great flash of color for more monotone looks but is subtle enough to blend well with other colors.



While doing the last Out-of-the-Closet article, coincidentally Kim had my exact same nail polish color on except hers was matte. What can I say? Great minds think alike. ;)

This is Knock Out's matte version.
