I Like My Nails Matte and Scented.

Hey thanks to everyone who listened to me whining yesterday. I appreciated all of the advice and messages that you guys sent, and I promise I'm taking it to heart as best I can. I need to stop listening to sad music and start holding my chin up... but sometimes it's really, really easy for the sad music to win. (Thanks Sara Bareilles. Thanks a lot.) Sometimes it's really hard to not cry on the subway. Sometimes waking up alone feels like the worst way to start the day. Sometimes rainy days feel like a metaphor for my entire life.

But sometimes nail polish on a Friday is a reminder about the little things that can make me smile. So. There's your segue into nail polish today.

These nails were supposed to be autumnal but they came out more Christmas-y in the photos...

So I guess now would be a good time to mention that there are only 61 shopping days till Christmas.

I used a Revlon Parfumerie polish, in the color Balsam Fir. It's a beautifully dark hunter green - quite a bit darker than it's actually appearing in these photos. And since it's a "Parfumerie" polish, it does have a "balsam fir" scent to it, which lasts a couple of days and withstands several hand washings.

My accent nail is Raisin Rage from Revlon, which I also used recently for my Fierce Autumn Wedding nails.

I topped my nails with a matte top coat from Revlon, but it didn't have the dramatic mattifying result that I remember it having the last time I used it. Can you even tell there's a matte coat on these??

What are you rocking on your nails today?
