Jewel Tone Nails: Emerald, Sapphire, and Topaz

Holy crap, what a busy week this has been! I just added a new professional project to my plate (adult lingo) and I haven't yet mastered my new work-and-personal-life balancing act. The workdays have seemed quite long - I even had to put in a 12+ hour work day on Tuesday! #ShootMe. As a result, my blogging has been a lil' more sparse this week than I would have liked, especially with all the good things that still need to be posted about - like my camping/scrambling trip to the Tolkien Group from a few weeks ago, and the Vancouver blogger event I went to this past Saturday.

But today is finally Friday and that means it's nails day! If you follow me on Facebook you may have seen that yesterday I posted this photo and announced that it would be the inspiration for today's nails. It's another outfit-made-mani, inspired by an outfit from the blogger Simply Whit in a Sequined Life. (You can check out her original outfit post here.)

I love the jewel toned look of Whit's outfit and knew that there were colors in my nail polish stash that would be perfect to replicate the look on my nails - an emerald, a sapphire and a golden topaz (my birth stone!).

Disclaimer:  Just to reiterate - that is not a photo of me wearing that outfit. You'd be surprised how many times people comment on these "outfit-turned-mani" posts and say something like, "Ooh cute outfit, it looks so good on you!" And I'm all... Dude, you didn't even read it. #WompWomp 

Back to my nails!

I used essence's Little Miss Sunrise, Sinful Colors' Envy, Love & Beauty's Navy, and Sinful Color's Snow Me White (as usual!):

You can see I went with the double accent nail again, like last week. Perhaps the beginning of a new phase for me?!

Are you incorporating jewel tones into your wardrobe, jewelry, or nails this season?
