don't really lilac it...

One day, I randomly found OPI's Do You Lilac It? color in the usual bin of nail polishes.  Intrigued by the appearance of a new option, I quickly applied it, but unforunately it really didn't work with my skin tone.  It made my skin look dead and likewise the nails kind of dirty looking.

To salvage the situation, not to mention my laziness to remove them completely, I used Essie's Sexy Divide to give it some life.  I think it added a pretty decent contrast between matte and gloss, light and dark, boring and exciting...

Random mood resulted in throwing in a bright pink OPI color Charged Up Cherry with a base color You Don't Know Jacques.  The grey is one of my favorite -- it looks darker indoors but has a brownish tint in the light.  My pinky nail is black with pa nail color A112, which is a generic Japanese nail polish, nothing special.  It's like doing multiple swatches... efficient... Actually, I found an Express dress designed just like my nails, so I don't feel too bad about the randomness.  If you are curious, my right hand was black, black, grey, grey, grey, from thumb to pinky.  Don't do accent colors on both hands! I accidentally did it once when I wasn't paying attention.  It just looks stupid.  I usually pick my left ring finger nail to do something different.
