recently i've found myself craving to wear a nail color i've shied away from most of my life...red!
don't get me wrong, i love red polish on nails. they're classic. they're uber-feminine. they can even be edgy.
truth be told, the very first nail color i ever wore was red {thanks, mom}.
but...
i've never been a red-nail-polish-wearing gal. i admit it, the color has always been a bit intimidating to me. that, and i love all shades of neutrals, pinks and purples; those are my go-to, safe colors. for fall/winter seasons, i typically go with "deeper" versions of them.
so...
i'm adding the shade that adorned my nails first into my color rotation-- especially for fall. i've gathered my small stash of red lacquers, and plan to rock them like nobody's business {and yes, the number of reds in my collection will be expanding}. Chanel Lotus Rouge {pictured, above}, a gorgeous berry-red, started me on my not-afraid-to-wear-red-nails-anymore path this past week...
and i just changed my polish to nubar's Competition Red this morning. :)
btw, i tore this Piperlime.com ad for my fall ensemble inspiration journal, then noticed a few days later: the model's nails are red!
all pics taken my me :)
