Latest Obsession: Neon Orange Nails
Last Thursday I went to the nail salon to get a manicure for my event and for some reason a neon, bright-as-hell orange is what I chose that day. I don’t know, maybe I subconsciously remembered that some celeb had been spotted wearing it, nonetheless, I chose it.
Three coats later I was in love.
Of course, I had no time to dry because I had a ton of other shit to do for the event that night, so I ended up completely ruining 6 out of 10 nails. Fucking disaster!
In total panic-mode, I called my roommate to stop at a beauty store to find the color(China Glaze Japanese Koi, I somehow remembered).
They didn’t have it, so she brought me two other oranges(Essie Clam Bake and OPI Atomic Orange). Neither were as bright but I made do and repainted. I knew I couldn’t live with 6 mismatched, horribly painted nails until my next mani, so I went back to the salon the next day.
I bought the very same bottle used to paint my nails and lived happily ever after.
I’ve been playing with hot pink, but neon orange is high on my list now. Gots to get myself (and my dark blue nails) to a Sally Beauty supply…
Orange is pretty hot, but I’m afraid it’s not so hot for my conservative office. I’ve been wearing a light purple color by Chanel called Rodeo Drive (got it from a friend in LA). It’s one of the few “funky” colors I can wear to work that my boss doesn’t do a double take and then look at me like she’s Meryl Streep and I’m Anne Hathaway pre-makeover…
