chanel nails on a budget

hey nancy,

you wanted some nail color suggestions so here they are.  i REALLY wanted to get the chanel peridot color, but since i'm on a budget, i used OPI at your quebec & call instead.  i got a lot of compliments on it so i thought i would share it with you.



you will be happy to know that the next new chanel limited edition release of colors are blue!  they are really cool & inspired by denim so they are called "les jeans de chanel."



but since we are both on a budget, i found some more affordable options for us.  the sephora by opi line has a glee collection & they have a nice blue called slushied that's pretty.


essie has a color called turquoise & caicos that i love right now.  even though it's a light color, i feel like because it's such an unexpected color, it doesn't look too sweet.

another one that i own is opi's ski teal we drop.  it's a beautiful teal color that i've also gotten compliments on.


there are many nail trends that i love, but i won't overwhelm you & just leave you with these.  if you are afraid of these unconventional colors, try them on your toes first.  i think you'll find the blues really fun & pretty though.

don't worry about matching your toes & fingers.  that's kind of an outdated notion.  i think unless you are going to a really serious function, it looks a little too formal.  don't worry about it matching your clothes.  i think it might look too matchy-matchy if you match your clothes.  but, of course, you can't help if your black polish matches your black clothes.  that's kind of a given that that's going to happen!  don't worry so much!  fashion should be fun! 

the polish seems cheaper on amazon.  i recommend buying a couple colors at a time (of course, from the same seller) because shipping can cost more than the polish!  i wish you lived close by so we can split the shipping or even share polish!  

alright, talk to you later!
