Sparkle Fingers

Sep 2, 2010

 

Last month, I posted about my desire to swap out my NARS Purple Rain nail polish for a touch of gold shimmer

Sadly, the first three gold polishes that I tried could best be described as disastrous.  They were all way to dark and made me look like I had been holding hands with the Bond villain Goldfinger. But last week, I discovered the perfect polish while getting a manicure out West: OPI’s Glitzerland ($9).

While my dark purple nails sometimes earn strange looks in a conservative environment like Capitol Hill, Glitzerland is just neutral enough against my skin tone to be work appropriate.  And the gold tips are certainly more light and fun than the darker colors.

All in all, I think Glitzerland is the perfect shade of gold for the woman who’d like to change up her manicure routine with a little shimmer.  And what woman can say no to some sparkle?

    Because of this post, I went to check it out myself. It's now gracing my tootsies and I even bought it to bring home. I'm extremely fair myself and have been wanting gold polish for a while – this is perfect! So happy you posted about it.

    If you like a little gold shimmer but don't want to go all the way metallic, Nars' polish in Orgasm is my absolute favorite. It's a pink/coral polish with non-overbearing gold shimmer.

Happy Hour: Atlantic Beach Pie

There are two kinds of people in this world: People who eat cake on their birthdays and people who don’t.  And some of the weirdos in the latter category (I said what I said) eat pie as an alternative.  So if you’re a “birthday pie” eater with a late summer celebration coming up, may I […]

The Find: The Only Wire-Free Bra That Didn’t Fail Me

After Sloane was born, I developed a seething hatred for underwire bras.  The trouble was that I had also developed a larger, slightly droopier bust.  It was a cruel irony.

The 2010s Trends I’m Loving and Leaving Behind

Our tween and teen nieces spent the first half of 2023 reviving our high school fashions.  From peasant tops to low rises, I felt like I was back bopping to N’SYNC in my mint-green sedan for a minute.  Now, our 20-something direct reports are bringing back the 2010s in a big way, and I am […]
