suede nails.

yes, i know i may be a little late with the whole suede or matte nail polish but i'm jumping on the wagon now so it's all good! my first bottle of opi suede nail polish is you don't know jacques because i wanted to be safe and i've already got the original one before, and i was getting bored of it so why not try the suede version?

all i can say is that, it's my go-to nail polish when i'm in a rush but still want colors on my nails. they dry super fast and so easy to apply! you don't even need to put a topcoat on (but it does look pretty, if you do. then again, it defeats the whole concept of "suede" nails) i'm so keen on it that i think i'll go and get other colors. i just wish they would come out with less glitter, i'm not saying that it's not pretty with the glitter but i am getting bored of glitter nail polish.

and just as a warning, it does chip pretty easily compared to the regular nail polish. but no worries, here's what i do. i have suede nails for a couple of days and then i'll put on a topcoat and make it normal looking and that will last me a whole week or more. okay, enough ramblings on nail polish. i am quite obsessed with them, if you haven't already realized!

i bought a new ring from urban outfitters the other day. yes, rings are my other obsession but i love it. it's a gold knuckle ring. there's all the rage about double finger rings but i like the simplicity of a knuckle ring because it gives statement too, when you wear it.

you can see how the suede nail polish look on my nails but really, the photo doesn't give it justice. because with photos, you can't actually feel the texture of my nails.. it's super smooth. i couldn't stop touching it for a few days, to be honest. no wonder they call it suede.

ps. isn't it cool that pablo picasso makes it sound okay to be a loner :)

I deeeeefinitely want some suede/matte nail polish. I've been meaning to try it, but I haven't been able to find any... (Hooray suburbs in Canada...)
Just thought I should mention that I love reading your blog because you love everything I love / vice versa. Rings/nail polish/pictures of food&drinks! And fonts/writing doodles. <3

i adore OPI and although i usually steer clear of any polish which is sparkly this one is really beautiful and with fall right around the corner ((*fingers crossed*)) this would be a lovely addition to my nail polish collection!

I really love the prompt on an everyday picture. I think it fits well. It's such a lovely and true prompt.
Oh, and took me a while to notice that the golden thing was in fact the ring you were talking about! Which is lovely too :)

I think I just left a message with such a lovely "prompt." I'm tired from work, I meant quote. LOL.

There's a bandwagon!? I never even knew you could get suede polish!! A definite must try!! I recently tried gray (http://scarletscorpion.blogspot.com/2010/08/sunday-date-day.html) but it was only matte. I hope I could get the suede one in a magenta or deep purple :) I'm curious to its texture :)
