Hello! Long time no see, nail polish! I’ve been wearing it regularly but have been slacking off in taking pictures. I thought I would finally try out the light box David got me for our anniversary and document the pink polish that is on my nails because I don’t think this will be happening again any time soon, especially not within the next three months, anyway. I’ve had this on for a good 2 days now (excuse the tip wear) and it has been a struggle to fight off the urge to replace it with the darker, vampier shades I’ve been sporting as of late. OPI’s Windy City Pretty is a dusty kind of pink (but not as dusty as I was initially hoping) with a bit of secret shimmer. You can hardly see it but, ladies and gentleman, it is there upon closer inspection. I never considered myself a pink kind of gal but this shade is passable. It’s not diabetically pastel and has purpley/blue undertones that have allowed me to accept it over the last few days. I think it will make a lovely spring shade that is still somewhat bold – a more vibrant alternative to the washed out pastels that were released over the last spring. This, I believe was a part of the Chigaco Collection in 2005.
This is more or less what it looks like in real life… if you can picture it without the glare. Sorry, still experimenting with my new set-up!
Speaking of which, I thoguht I would post a few photos of what it looks like for anyone interseted. It’s totally self-contained and comes with two lights, a tripod and a back drop. Totally awesome!
Hehe, the display pic even shows the same camera that I use! This is me, guys, except I use the grey backdrop… and the toy car would be a bottle of nail polish!
And another shot for those lacking in imagination
