I want "OX-BLOOD" nail-polish and lipstick! :(
No, not WTF? It's that gorgeous reddy-browny-almost black colour that ALL the celebs (even B-grades) rock!
You see... bright red (which I adore, cos Marilyn wore it) is 'apparently' not my colour - it doesn't work well with my yellow complexion...
So I assumed the next best thing would have to be a darker red, right?
I pop in at Clicks and look through all the ranges available but it seems nobody has made the colour I want. Damn.
(I betcha OP-friggin-I has it. Something named along the lines of 'butchered roadkill' or 'berry ganache')
sad. so sad.
Right now I'm wearing this dreadful purple colour on my thumb-nail.
I thought (more like ass-u-me-d and wrongly so) that because it looked like 'ox-blood' in the bottle, it would indeed be 'ox-blood' on my nails...
Almost bought it I tell you! almost.
but I decided wait a minute didn't a mag say: 'If you are uncertain about a nail-colour you hope to purchase, paint one fingernail and give it a trial run for a few days with different potential outfits to see if you definitely want the colour and whether it will work with your complexion.'
Yes, I just made that up but it sounds plausible :)
So now I'm beyond thankful I did not buy this horrific colour. R34.99 saved!
yay-ness for me. NOT!
Still haven't found the blady colour! arrrgh -insert lotto-music now: ♪one day is one day♫-
