Sally Hansen - Gray Area (12/16/2011)

Has it almost been a month since my last post?  Where did the time go?  Well, it's been a busy month betweem the job hunt, a wedding, a funeral and life in general - let's just say, "things have really been going on!" I have been, however, polishing my nails.  


So what have you missed?  OPI's Warm & Fozzie - I just couldn't take it off and wore it for two weeks straight! Also, really liked OPI's Designer De Better.  I will have posts of these soon.  Now on to what I'm wearing today.  Sally Hansen's Gray Area which is inspired from a handbag that I purchased recently from the Junior Drake Warehouse sale.

Junior Drake - Gia

Color Description: Is it gray? Is it purple? Is it taupe? It's a "Gray Area" is what it is.  It's very unique as far as creme lacquers go and it's very wearable.  Stays in the dark family but does not go black indoors - nice!

Similar To: This is the creme version of Chanel Paradoxal and Dare To Wear's Fortune.  A very rich looking color, indeed.

OTT Lite with Light Box

This Look: One coat of Starting Over After Artificials, two coats of Gray Area and one coat of Shine & Hold.


Price Point/Availability: I'm almost certain that this is in Sally Hansen's core line and can be found at most drugstore's for no more than $2.99.


Now if you can imagine this dark gray handbag that in certain light looks like the picture below which is some sort of grayish purple - this is what the Gia bag in Shadow looks like.  


More about Junior Drake coming soon!  One of my favorite handbag designers of 2010-2011...

So Psyched about Essie "Sew Psyched"! (09/21/2010)

Handbag: Junior Drake -  Gaga

Today's NOTD was inspired by a handbag I picked up this weeked!  If you've never heard of Junior Drake handbags, you should definitely google it!  Anyway, went to their "Warehouse Sample Sale" and picked up this olive green beauty!

Essie - Sew Psyched

Well, I was excited to put on Essie Sew Psyched only to be "psyched out" because of the secret shimmer.  I use a professional nail lamp when I apply my polish and I was able to see it right away, but in normal light it's very difficult to see.  This shimmer makes the polish extra shiny on the nail and it's gorgeous!   

Here's what they look like together: 

Thanks for stopping by and please, by all means, have a well-polished day!
