What Are You Wearing on Your Nails?

December 5th, 2014 by Karen 26 Comments

MAC Red, Red, Red Collection Nail Lacquers
The new MAC Red, Red, Red collection Nail Lacquers ($10 each)

I’m undecided at the moment…but I think I’ve narrowed it down to one of the three shades in the new MAC Red, Red, Red collection (available now at Nordstrom for $10 each).

Down below on my nails that’s Rouge Combustion (#1 – the sparkly pinkish red); Red, Red, Red (#2 – the creamy orangey red); and Impassioned (#3 – the warm bright pink).

What do you think?

    I am just sitting down to paint mine, actually. UltraViolet Femme (sparkly royal purple from Ulta) with a pewter-y silver accent. (Winter is the only time my nails really get sparkly.. so I might as well go big.)

    Nothing on my nails right now. They are still water-logged.

    But this afternoon I am going to apply 3 coats of Chanel Orage. Orage is French for, um Storm.

    I love the sparkle in Rouge Combustion! I’m rocking the naked nails as usual but you’ve reminded me to rub in a little cuticle oil. My dry paws need constant moisture in the winter. 🙂

    I voted for Rouge Combustion but after second thoughts, maybe you should wait and use that one for Christmas.

    I am wearing Zoya Haven but I need to change it to something else for my birthday dinner tomorrow. It hasn’t chipped but there is some minor wear.

    Happy Friday Karen!

    Right now, I have a mani of a new Pixi nail polish that is in between pink and red on all fingers but my ring finger. On the ring finger, I used a sparkly black loose nail glitter.

    Unfortunately, I did this mani, like, a week ago. It does NOT look good anymore.

    Hi Karen,

    My nails are bare at the moment (eek), as I can’t quite figure out what I’d like to wear either! My go-to as of late has been Smith & Cult Doe My Dear, which is a soft pale neutral (which kind of looks like the skies here in Chicago). That said, I’ve been thinking of doing a bright orange red creme as well! It seems to fit the current season 🙂

    my teeth – it’s been a frustrating day. LOL I have an appointment on Sunday right after I get my hair done. YEA! Not sure what color I will go with but I have a beautiful red from YSL that I got last year and haven’t used it up yet.

    I voted for REd REd REd but would like to pick up the Impassioned for myself because I actually have that MAC lippie and LOVE it.

    I love all three reds, but Rouge Combustion gets my vote.

    I have clear gel acrylics, with red sparkly tips. The ring fingers have big white snowflakes painted on them, and the rest of the nails have a layer of Revlon’s Celestial FX on them.

    What better time to do sparkly red than this time of year? 😉 Now I wanna bust out my sparklies. I was also considering repeating China Glaze’s Tip Your Hat from the winter collection, which is lovely dusty red cream that applies perfectly. One of my portrait clients just recently left China Glaze and hooks me up with freebies. 🙂

    I currently have a wintery gray with a silver glitter reverse french. I’m thinking of doing red with gold glitter soon.

    YSL Gris Underground a soft periwinkle leaning dove grey. One pinky is accented with Chanel Delicatesse and tipped with SInful Colors Gilded- recommend you seek that one out it is LE and so soft and delicate for a glitter. and at $2, makes a perfect stocking stuffer.

    I like all of them but I had to vote for Impassioned. I love bright colors in the fall! It’s nice to take a break from the darker, vampier colors sometimes

    I have never worn anything other than MAC eyeshadows and foundations. These nail paints look gorgeous and the packaging is so pretty. I really liked Impassioned. I’m wearing Maybelline ColorShow Glittermania – Paparazzi Purple!
