Mustard and Navy Nails (with Polka Dots... Obvi)

Having just recently been away from my Vancouver home for a few weeks, I was seriously missing all of my nail care tools. Without my cuticle softener, cuticle pusher-backer and cuticle cream, my cuticles looked... shitty. I'd also left my favorite hand cream at home and was lacking an appropriate nail filer, which was really messing with me - my nails were breaking and flaking and snagging on things left and right.  I couldn't wait to get back to my nail tools so I could give my fingernails some much-needed love and affection.

Now that I've hit "refresh" on my nails, it's time for me to get back to painting fun color combos onto them!

This week I came upon a new-to-me blogger - Chelsea over at Organized Mess - and one of the first things I noticed about her blog was the adorable outfit she was wearing in the header banner on her page. It's a darling little navy blue dress with white polka dots on it, all tied together with a slim mustard-colored belt around her waist. The lettering over her blog banner is also a mustard yellow. I fell in luuurrrve with the color combo of the navy/white polka dots with mustard yellow. So what did I do? Well, I did what I always do when I stumble upon a cool outfit... I turned it into a manicure idea!

I bought this essence nail polish this past fall because I'd been on the hunt for a mustard for months and kept finding yellows that were too sunshiney, too lemony, too elementary school/primary color, or too neon. This is the closest I could find to the color I wanted - an autumnal, golden leaf type of yellow:

The color is called Little Miss Sunrise, which I didn't find to be terribly suitable as far as names go. I don't know why but this color doesn't make me want to describe it using the word "sun." Is it just me?
