When Mumma Bovary sees me holding a bottle of polish and
snapping away with my Nikon, she sighs and always mentions how she wishes her
nails were painted so she could do that, too. As we were having a Once Upon a
Time marathon the other afternoon, she yelped and realised her nails were
painted, and that the lighting was perfect for a Mumma Bovary nail of the day!
Mum had been wearing this Sally Hansen shade for almost a
week, and as you can see it holds up well to house cleaning and light
gardening. We picked up this shade when Priceline had their big sale on, and
because Mum is always drawn to metallic green shades like this, the choice was
easy for her. I love the Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear formula, and as it turns out
Mum does, too.
Ivy League is a
beautiful shade, and reminds me very much of the infamous nail family that
includes Chanel Peridot and OPI Just Spotted the Lizard. It is much brighter than those shades, and I
think that is very flattering on the nail. It works well with the tan my Mum is
sporting at the moment, but I have no doubts that it would suit my lily white
skin as well.
Are you a fan of shades like this, or do you think them too ‘out
there’ for you? What are your favourite Sally Hansen nail colours? I am very
excited about the new shade releases they have coming in 2013!
*This shade belongs to my Mum, who purchased it herself.
Hand is also her own! Honesty, always.
