definitely my winter nail color.

so i'm pretty much one of the most indecisive people ever..duhhh. its just that i'm always afraid of making the wrong choice so it takes me forever to find something and stick with it.

such examples of my indecisiveness include --
  • ordering food. i'll change my choice like 4 times before ordering. and i usually ask to change it a bit still. ohhh and i eat off of other people's plates to try what they had. (orrr i'm just being a lazy fatty..)
  • shopping. uhh how many posts have been devoted to my search for my perfect bootie???
  • nail color. it took me until i was 19 to find a pink nail polish i was satisfied with....haha
soo what if i were to tell you i found my new favorite winter nail color on a last-minute polish decision??? hellooo russian navy in matte


basically...i was getting a pedi (with midnight in moscow, obvi) and saw the ad for jimmy choo for h&m. the ladies in it had bejeweled dark blue nails. i decided i wanted to try blue. i saw russian navy in matte on the wall and went with it! and now...LOOOOOOOOOVE. for ya'll who know me, this is bit shocking. even changing to a dark color this season was a struggle (i attempted to switch to MinM a week before i actually did but couldn't take its intensity after seeing it on two nails and went back to LTMER) so to switch from my go-to winter color for 3 years to a new one on a snap decision? huuuuuuuuuuuuuuge deal. haha

i actually don't like the matte look and had to put on two coats of top coat to make it shinier. but -- i'm glad i went with the matte because the original one has glitter (grossss). the matte version's also nice because it doesn't show uneven painting/imperfections as much. and i feel like i've seen a lot of bold nail this season (ie chanel's jade, bright reds, and the tzr's suggested white a few weeks back..). for me, russian navy's a nice pop without being too much. the cool, dark blue seems stand out from my colorful tops but still not be (too) clashy.

(i took a pic of my nails and i'll post it once i upload stuff from the cam cam!!)
