Colours of the season: 2 new nail varnishes



A tiiiiny shopping detour today (or rather yesterday for those who would insist upon counting days by the hour on the clock) led me to the acquisition of 2 new nail varnishes for my growing polish family. 


They are from the Sally Hansen "Xtreme wear" collection.







The first one is Ivy League (4860-17). It matches a bag of mine so perfectly, it's remarkable. But, apart from that, I think its golden tones make it very versatile. It behooves (just about typed beehives!) me to point out that I doctored the next photo to create this green colour as no adequate facsimile was to be found in my extensive perusals of images online. 











And Marine Scene (4860-19) could not be resisted. Perhaps it speaks of a subconscious longing for summer. Although, I think the hue works just as well as an accent to an icy, chilling wintry day. 




Ack, apologies for that somewhat supercilious sounding language, but those were the words that came to me. In the same way that sometimes "press" comes to mind instead of "iron"; or, how once when I was unable to think of an appropriately courteous way of asking someone what they wanted without blurting out bluntly "What do you want?" the only alternative I could find had me querying, in Dickensian fashion, "What is the manner of your business?"; or, at the other end of the spectrum, common diction fails me altogether and I use "snip-snip" in place of "haircut", which, I add, must be used with care for it may be misconstrued as "circumcision". 


This was meant to be a short post. Just 2 pics... and a tedious amount of blah-blah. ;)
