Shade 323

I LOVE pedicures.

My penchant is for deep red polish
with names like "Wisdom" or "Courageous".

Yesterday I was distracted by
a raspberry sorbet colour
called "Goody Two Shoes".
I accept that it was a mistake.

MissM does not make style mistakes.
She says kind things about my dubious choice
while sporting iridescent "Blue Energy".

Her weekday polish is a shimmering turquoise
with peacock depths
appropriately called "Green with Envy".

Yesterday she bought a deep viridian-green
so that her fingers and toes could glow
like the heart of the Caspian sea.
It is so stylish that it does not have a name
Shade 323.


This post is for bb
who has had to delay her pedicure.

Haven't painted my toenails since last summer - I think it's time.

Oh dear I think I must be a style guru's worst nightmare - I just love the goody two shoes shade (mind you I do love all the others too)

Just got one too! Perfect timing as my toes were on display in the sun yesterday!
My shade of choice is a dark, dark red - rouge noir-esque...
Oh, and they are gels so won't chip! Yippee!

Despite being a keen fan of sandals in the summer, I've never painted my nails. Perhaps this is the summer to change all that! And perhaps I should enlist help from Miss M to avoid mistakes? K x

I love pedicures too! Have not had one in a while. I always go for bright pinks! Miss H goes for blues and greens too. She says she likes unique colors on her toes. :)
