Hi girls! Sorry it took me so long to get this up; yesterday was a long and tiring day! Purina came over yesterday to film me and Tumnus. It was totally fun, but a little hectic! I was going to post this up last night, but then Ben and I went to run some errands, and when we got home, all I wanted to do is go to bed!
Anyway, this is the polish I finally decided on for the Purina shoot. They recommended jewel tones for shirts, so I decided to take the same cue for my nails, and went with Contrary Polish "River Market".
I tried to get pictures in a bunch of different lighting, but no matter what I did, this came out way more blue (and more sheer) than it is in real life.
"River Market" is a purple jelly with red shimmer. I used two coats, which looks fine in real life, but you can totally see some VNL here.
I have friends who live in the River Market district of Kansas City (which this polish was based on!). It's a really cool area. There's the river (obviously) and there's a farmers' market with a bunch of good produce and really good local restaurants. Going through these polishes in the No Place Like Home collection makes me want to visit again; it's been awhile since I've been to KC! Maybe this spring or summer I'll get a chance...
Lastly, here's a photo of me and my nails from the Purina shoot! Doesn't my house look nice when it's professionally lit?
Thanks for reading!
