I love the contrast of the dark fingernail polish against the pretty silhouettes that have been featured throughout this season. It makes me feel very chic, captivating, and even a little domineering. I love to wear pretty things, but I don’t ever want to come off as too sweet, so I love the polish because it allows you to wear something pretty, may be even flouncy, while still appearing a little contradictory. My great uncle, who lives in Tampa, always says that he would rather people think him eccentric than ordinary. I think the dark nail polish gives the look a bit of eccentricity. Nars has several dark polishes that I love. The polish called M. Butterfly is my favorite. If you are not up for dark polish, my mother for instance likes to seek out her eccentricity through wearing all hot pink and still looking marvelous, then I would suggest another color by Nars named Schiap. I even kinda like the polish called Pussy Galore but the eccentric name might have something to do with my interest. It is certainly not ordinary. Nars Nail Polish, $15 each, sephora.com.
