Last weekend I wanted to paint my nails, but couldn’t decide between gold (a favourite this summer), and a dark wine colour that is so appropriate for fall. I eventually decided to mix both and the final product was so unexpectedly fun that I just had to share! I used the gold sparingly—only on my ring fingers—to add a little sparkle, because while I love rings, sometimes the situation calls for simplicity and minimal adornment. And if you’re not a ring person, adding some contrasting sparkle to one or two of your fingers is a fun alternative!
Now, if you’re wondering why I’ve shown you a picture of my painted nails with an onion, well, take a closer look at the colours… I was cutting onions for dinner and realized that my nails matched the food. Is it too much to intentionally colour coordinate your mani and your dinner party? Probably, but next time you’re in the grocery store take a look around and you might just find some other great polish combos to try. Sometimes nature is the best designer…
I’ve taken to painting my ring finger gold all the time lately! It’ll be the sign of a blogger soon :)
