Today's pink is brought to you by the letter Zzzzzz....

Hiya, boys and girls!  Didja miss me? 

Remember how I said last week that I was going to be CRAZY busy for the next few weeks?  I wasn't kidding...I have been rocking the same OPI for the last THREE WHOLE DAYS!  Gasp!  I honestly don't think I've done that since I started this blog.  I'll take some pics tomorrow so you can see how well it's wearing, but today I want to show you what I dug up from my treasure trove o' nail pics:

This here's Rose Patina from Finger Paints.  I picked this up on clearance at Sally a couple of months ago, slapped it on, photographed it, and promptly forgot about it.  I guess that tells you something about the lack of uniqueness about this polish.  It's just...pink.  In an effort to add a bit of pizzaz to an otherwise boring polish, I topped it with SpaRitual Shower the People and then mattified with Essie Matte About You.  And still promptly forgot about it.

The time was bound to come in this lacquer adventure of mine wherein life would take over my polish-changing routine and I would be forced to dip into the archives to bring you all something fresh.  That's why a smart blogger photographs EVERYTHING, even if the time isn't right to post it.  Please forgive my candid admission that I am not wearing pink this Wednesday.  I hope you're all able to wear yours with pride!

When next you hear from me, you'll be reading a scheduled post, as I'll be busy being a part of it in New York, New York.  What do you all think I should rock on my fingertips for the Big Apple Adventure?  Try something new, or a pick a tried and true?  Go neutral to avoid obvious wear and tear whilst on vacation, or go bold and pack for a polish change?

Pink Wednesday: Shocking!

In my first week of making a concerted effort to wear pink on Wednesday, I came to a swift realization:  I don't own much pink polish.  This is not surprising; I am not a girly girl.  I have often been described as "one of the guys."  Nevertheless, I have this polish obsession.  However, given my lack of feminine inclination, most of my collection consists of colors from the non-pink spectrum.  I'm gonna have to remedy this, not only because I'm finding that pink really does look good on me (I'm not conceited; just pale) but so that I'll actually have something to show on Wednesdays!

Today (yesterday actually, but anyway) I chose from my thin collection of rosy tones Maybelline's Pink Shock.  That bored me just a bit, so I topped it with a recent purchase from the blogsale of Lacquer Ware for Tips and Toes - Spa Ritual's Shower the People.  Shower the People is a very, very faint opalescent sheer ivory with a smattering of pixie-like purple glitter.  If you look reeeeeally closely at the pictures below (you may have to enlarge it), you'll catch a glimpse of that purple shimmer.  Other than that, the addition of Shower the People did not much alter the truly shocking pink of Pink Shock.  Enjoy!
