I confess: I am a total creature of habit when it comes to choosing nail polish colors. Although I do make an effort to change things up for the sake of 365 Days of Makeup, I find myself drifting towards my old favorites when pedi/mani time rolls arounds.
Light pale pink on the fingers, dark purple on the toes.
Light and dark. Clean, fresh fun vs. what could possibly be mistaken for a bruise. I am an enigma.
How about you? Do you stick to your favorite polish colors, or do you make an effort to change things up?
I am always changing it up, nail night is usually Thursday or Friday while I relax. But the last 2 months I’ve had Shellac nails and honestly, while it’s nice to have no worries about my mani for 14 days at a time, it got boring – until I found out i can paint over Shellac and remove with non-acetone polish and do it again w/o damaging the Shellac – best of both worlds – love to change it up!!
I have my favorites, but I love to change things up.
I am a creature of habit when it comes to my toes..Summer is usually always a bright pink,winter is usually bright red.I usually have different nail polish colors,though they are chipping away by the end of the week.
Ooops.. I meant I usually have different nail polish on my FINGERS ,though they are chipping away by the end of the week
I change with every manicure. For years I wore the same polish every week. Now I am like a butterfly and want to try every color there is. I’m in love with gorgeous nail colors.
I wish i could get away from Red, but I usually get bright red on my fingers and dark red on my toes.
Not with my nails, no. I like to change it every week, and I experiment with layering!
I am definitely not a creature of habit (although at times my feet can certainly look creature-ish) I’ll get a bug up my butt to put on a different color every couple of days. I’m really tough on manicures so polish only lasts 3 or 4 days tops.
I often stick with shimmery sheer nudes on my fingers, for (a) work appropriateness and (b) ability to hide wear for longer. But I almost always try a different shade. Toes really are a grab bag. I have some favorites, but I rarely get the same thing twice in a row, and I tend to go for things I couldn’t get away with on my hands, like navy, green, glitter, etc.
