kick it into neutral

i'm not one to throw splashy nails colors around. i generally stay in the sheer white, really dark, or really deep red categories. you won't see a coral or pink or green or some other rainbow shade on these hands or toes. so i'm always intrigued when i can find a new color to add to my very short list of permissible shades. enter OPI (of course). on a recent trip to the mani/pedi place, i came across two neutrals, but ones that sill have some color. i have been loving them ever since. the one featured left is "over the taupe" and is on my hands as we speak (well, we're not really speaking are we, but just go with it). it's dark enough to have some impact (but not as dark as the black or deep earthy browns i usually go with) and neutral enough to not clash with whatever you're wearing. it's darker and yet still neutral brother is "you don't know jacques" and is gracing my toes. i think it would also work really well on hands, too. so branch out this new years and try something right in the middle. you'll be amazed how comfortable it is here.
