The Lipstick League – week of 1.9.17
Question of the Week: What is your go-to shade of nail polish? Do you have a different go-to shade for your toes?
EauMG’s Answer: I’ve just recently started painting my nails again. My go-tos are the classics. I like a glossy red. Right now I’m so into FlossGloss Gangsta Boo, a perfect red in partnership with a perfect rapper. If it’s not red, then I go for another classic…black. I don’t paint my toes or get them painted. I’m a weirdo and you can laugh, put painted toes have always weirded me out. But, only on myself, not other people. Like I said, I’m weird.

I use OPI’s black or Russian Navy on my toes.I paint my own toes. I have a fear of pedicures. Lately I’ve been getting gel manicures because it doesn’t chip and I have to keep my nails very short. I wash my hands over twenty times a day for work. Gel manicures take the abuse very well. On my hands I’ve been loving OPI’s Hello Kitty Red. It’s a true red. On another note, in regards to your current cravings, I just purchased my first Malle travel spray of POAL and had a very difficult time finding it. Everyone was out of stock online. Another note, OPI came out with a Jade green nail color that I would love to try on my feet.
These colors sound so wonderful. I realized that when I moved, I gave away all my nail colors prior. I had nothing but a clear coat. I have bought a red, a pink and a black (which leans navy/blue). I feel like I could use 2 more to have a nice nail wardrobe and gosh, a jade sounds so perfect. I’m going to see if I can find it 🙂 It sounds exactly like what I want. I figure my other color should be a metallic like a rose gold or champagne.
My mom keeps telling me to a gel manicure. My nails are very weak because of medical reasons and FINALLY they are getting stronger after addressing the root problem. But, still my nails are so fragile and frequent hand washing ruins them and any manicure I try to give myself. She swears by them.
I noticed that they are sold out of PAOL on all the sites. There’s a Malle boutique in NYC and they have them (or at least they did a few weeks ago). I love the travel sizes for the ones that I like but don’t wear too frequently. I need to get it in Iris Poudree.
