goodbye yellow brick road

 

 Sooooo I've been wanting to try yellow nail polish.  

Keep in mind, this is coming from a girl who used to ONLY wear light pink polish (Essie "ballet slippers.")

I tried Deborah Lippman's, "yellow brick road."

 Wonderland review:  

It's a fun color, but I wish it was a bit brighter.  I have about 5 or 6 coats on and unfortunately the color reminds me of mustard.

(I hate mustard!)

 

 

Mood – not so Mellow Yellow

personality in a paste – essie’s “playa del platinum”

I'm always in the market for a new nail polish.  Nude colors happen to be my favorite — they're classic and go with everything.  My friend let me borrow her Essie "Playa del Platinum."

It's a great beigey-silver.

LOVE IT!

Looks great with the cover of the new W as well.

I love how it just blends with my skin tone. 

And it works with my Tucker shirt, Banana Republic chunky necklace, skinny jeans.


But what shoes to wear…

Decisions, decisions!!!!

If you're in the OKC, stop into Gretta Sloane and check out their great selection of Tucker!


Jade is the new black and other spring flings

I have Spring-on-the-brain…

…which is easy to believe considering that we're expecting it to snow AGAIN at least twice this week.  But back to my Spring Fever.  I'm loving green nails for spring.  I know, it's a bit different. Usually I'm a perfect baby-pink-nails kind of girl, but this this green is minty fresh! 

Chanel was the first to show green nails during their Fall 2009 Paris show:

I think this shade it will be perfect for Spring 2010!  Since it came out last season it's been a bit difficult to track down.  If you're a die-hard Chanel addict, then check out Ebay where a bottle of Chanel Jade #407 is going for up to $188 a bottle — craziness!!!

So I've been trying out all the latest shades of green.  OPI's "Jade is the new black" is already developing a cult-like following, but it was just a bit too dark for my taste.

Sooo then I tracked down Essie's "Mint Candy Apple," and I found perfection!

Just like the Chanel's "Jade," but for a fraction of the price.

Mood – pining away for Spring
