It may not be popular but, I love me a good "mom color" every once in a while. For me it doesn't have to be dark/edgy/radical all the time. When I'm craving a delicate look on my nail, those traditional colors really fit the bill.
A couple week ago such a craving was fulfilled for me by L'Oreal Mauvelous, with an assist by Essie's A Cut Above:

My local grocery store dumped a lot of L'Oreal polishes into the clearance bin, and that's where I found Mauvelous. It was hanging out with a sweet, baby-ballerina pink (How Romantic) and a shimmery, happy yellow (Tweet me).
Mauvelous look rather pinker in real life, while A Cut Above looks less pink-- if that makes sense. Al in all, both colors work together beautifully to create a clean, lady-like look.

P.S. Yes, my Mom really likes Mauvelous. She's so totally going to borrow it for sure. ;-)

Yay, there you are! It's been ages.
ReplyDeleteThat looks nice - very elegant.
It has! Still doing manis though. I have 2 more posts in the works. ;-)
DeleteI have A Cut Above, too! I love the differents sizes glitters.
ReplyDeleteI do too! And that they're in a clear base, that shows off the size differences better. =)
