A little while ago my friend Jess mentioned that she wanted matte grey nail polish. I thought that sounded intriguing, but in my haste to find flourescent pink nail polish, I forgot about it. When I got the
Stylish Dress book in the mail, however, I noticed matte grey nail polish on the models. At first I thought it looked strange, but I also thought it looked AMAZING.
I looked around online and realized that this was definitely a trend in the making, but that I wasn't going to find matte grey (i.e. non-metallic) nail polish at the drug store. I decided to make my own, using $4 bottles. If Rimmel is good enough for Kate Moss, it's good enough for me.
I added a little bit of the black to the white, a little at a time, and shook it as best as I could for as long as I could manage. It is surprisingly difficult to mix two colours of nail polish.
I didn't paint my nails very well, but this is the result. I like it! It looks vaguely like the pastel blue nail polish I wore for a few years in high school, but I can get past that.
Last night Geoff and I had oh-so-rare Friday night plans. I wore a dress from H&M that I bought before Christmas and have never worn, and I wore eye makeup, which I rarely do. We went to the art gallery where he works for an opening, and stood around for about ten minutes. Then we left without even cashing in our free beer tickets. We went across the street to another opening, looked at the paintings, and left. Then we went to a bar for a friends' birthday party, stood around for about fifteen minutes, then snuck out. I felt awful about it, mostly because I don't like being the type of person who goes to a party only to leave after a few minutes. I should have had some of that free beer; it might have made me a little less uptight!
