In-Which I Talk About Nail Polish As Though It Were Important
I had a long bath.
I watched PotC3.
I'm thinking of painting my nails turquoise.
I have a vanilla-chai latte (with maple syrup in it!) and Kushiel's Dart with-which to curl up.
I'm feeling pretty good right now. :-)
I took the polish ("Red Stallion" by China Glaze) off my toenails. What can I say, I wanted something that would actually go with my skin.
Which brings me to the following conundrum (or something like that):
I would like to find a super-dark-teal nail polish. With a shimmer. So that I would have something that would look good on my feet (as in next to my skin) while also looking good with my fancy red shoes (which are definitely orange-toned scarlet, not pink-toned scarlet).
Basically, if you took royal blue, or midnight blue - a really dark, but still obviously blue true-blue, and then shaded it just slightly into the green tones so that it would be opposite on the colour-wheel from an orange-toned red.
"Peacock Blue", but maybe a shade or so darker. (I've got a shirt in approximately the colour I'm thinking of... Perhaps I should wear it when I'm out hunting for nail polish...)
So that and a bottle of Red Stallion, and, like some sort of silver/pewter colour. Maybe.
Anyway.
That's the great and terrible question that's been on my mind for the last, like, hour or so. "What colour would work with me *and* my red shoes, at the same time???"
If I can find the answer in the next ten days, that'd be great. ;-)
