Feeling Blue Over You

A couple of blogs back, a picture captured Nugget taking out her displeasure on my toes by biting them because my nails were not painted blue.

Can't say I blame her since I had been sporting a fab shade of blue on my tootsies since February when I found  a particularly fetching OPI color called "Suzie Loves Feng Shui". I found it of all places, Lubbock at United Market. Both Andie and I have been wearing it almost religiously while garnering many compliments.

I have been spreading the gospel of blue since then to the point where after getting some admiring glances towards my blue toenails from my little friend, nine year old Amy, I promised to bring her back some from the States this month.

Amy lives here in Saudi and came into the compound salon with her mom while I was getting a pedicure and looked very sad when I told her I had the color with me from America so, of course, understanding her pain, I promised to bring her back some when I return.

Andie on the other hand has loved blue before she could say the word and rarely deviates from her beloved blue.

I think the pigment in OPIs blues are what differentiate them from others. Often, the color of the polish in a bottle is not what is delivered to your nails.

This Yves San Laurent blue is stunning - brings to mind the richness of peacock feathers. Would need to slick on a coat before I could be convinced it'd have the same vitality on my nails. Will get back to you on that one.  is Roadhouse Blues, a deep, dark  navy-bordering-black polish. 

OPI has two new blues coming out this month. One is called Swimsuit…Nailed it! which is a  bright, shimmery medium blue, and the other is blue bordering on black, reminscent of their Russian Navy color.



Here's a photo of our toes in May. Only one has on some blue and a pretty Tiffany blue it was on my sister's toes.
