What Are You Wearing on Your Nails?

August 25th, 2010 by Karen 55 Comments


MAC Nail Trend F/W ’10 Nail Lacquers in Ming Blue (left) and Concubine (right), each $13

Today I’m wearing colors — yes, more than one 🙂 — from the counter-bound MAC Nail Trend F/W ’10 collection (arrives tomorrow!). I went with Concubine on my fingers and Ming Blue on my toes.

Speaking of that, the collection includes…

  • Nail Lacquer: a clear frost
  • Concubine: a shimmery blackened red
  • Earthly Harmony: a muted taupe with copper shimmer
  • Ming Blue: a cobalt blue with teal and red shimmer
  • Rain of Flowers: a frosty blackened violet
  • Imperial Flower: a reddish orange with gold and red shimmer
  • Jade Dragon: an emerald green with teal shimmer


Top row: Jade Dragon, Concubine, Rain of Flowers; Bottom row: Nail Lacquer, Earthly Harmony, Imperial Flower, Ming Blue

How about you? What’s gracing your nails on this fine, fabulous hump day?

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    I don’t recall the brand but I’m wearing cappuccino (dark brown with slight brown/gold shimmer) on my toes and pure gold (um, gold) on my fingers. I really really really want it to be fall already. I was so over summer about 3 months ago.

    She should have waited until her nails were dry before fondling that dude.

    Right now I’m not wearing polish. I’m trying to get my nails in better shape! 🙂

    Nothing! Apparently the unseasonal chill here is related to the cold day in hell this caused.

    Yesterday I was wearing a color that´s similar to Chanel´s Khaki Rose. I did the blending my self:) Today I´m wearing a kind of dirty pink color, also my own blend. I lovlovlovlovlov nail polish!!! When I see a color that I like I try to blend it myself with those little bottles of nail polish you can by at any drugstore. Much much cheaper and way more fun;)

    I just took off my CHANEL Satin Blue and OMG! I did not use a base coat, so my fingers are still kinda blue. They look awful. Still have that on my toes, but there it can stay now. I will “paint” it rosewood again with the new Confidentiel polish.
    I never used that often nail-polish, and I want to buy more and more, I am infected! Lucky me 😉 I have to have CHANEL because I get allergic reactions from most others.

    The dark raspberry color from Lancome’s trio with a layer of Some Enchanted Evening on my fingers. Lady Sings the Blues is on my toes. It makes me smile whenever I see them.

    Nothing on the fingers, sadly. Just cannot find time to sit down and do it. The toes are about two weeks old but look good (OPI Senorita Rose-alita).

    Mostly I’m just commenting to tell you that I ordered Drive Me Wild and Lap of Luxury this morning! Woohoo!

    OPI Koala Berry on nails and toes, but thinking of switching to the new Diva in Geneva I just bought this past weekend. Not quite ready for fall yet, though, so may wait a bit on that…

    I don’t have any polish on right now, which is unlike me. It’s just that my nails were splitting like crazy. I needed to give them a break.

    Sephora OPI’s Under My Trenchcoat, which looks a LOT like that Earthly Harmony in this post. At first I think it made the ‘red’ in my fingers too noticible…but it is growing on me!

    Nothing on my fingers, but I have OPI/Sephora’s I’m with Brad on my toes (left foot) and Go My Own Way on my right foot. I got them on vay-cay and wasn’t sure which I’d like better so I thought I’d give them both a try. I think I’ve settled on Brad but have been too lazy to remove/re-paint my right foot. Plus, I figure if some hot fireman comes to my door, I can just slip on some socks. 😉

    I am wearing Orly’s Space Cadet on my fingers…which I love so much staring at my fingers is starting to impact my workday and Opi’s Comet Loved Cupid on my toes with Butter London’s Chuffed over it.

    My fingernails really want it to be fall but despite the fact that it’s 100 degrees in the South Bay today I still want summer to stay around!

    OPI “Yodel me on my cell” from the fall swiss collection. It’s a very fall/winter color, but its a really pretty teal/blue, I just couldn’t resist! It’s been on for 2 weeks!! I’m really surprised! But off it comes this weekend- and I will be going au-natural for the next two weeks to let my nails breathe.

    Nothing on my fingers, but I have Flower to Flower from OPI on my toes. I picked it and Lucerne-tainly Look Marvelous up the other day.

    The Flower to Flower is from the “Summer Flutter” Collection and the Lucerne is from the “Swiss” collection.

    I do have to say that the Flower to Flower is the only OPI polish I’ve been disappointed by, even with 3 coats it is a bit streaky. But it is a pretty pink! Also, you have to see the Lucerne in person (not on the website) its much better and richer looking in person.

    In the pic up top I’m kinda drooling over Rain of Flowers…….
