Good morning!! It's C's and my eighth anniversary today, so to commemorate, I decided to wear a polish that remotely has something to do with our wedding, lol. Our main flowers were white orchids, Japhets and Dendrobiums, if you know your varietals. An orchid was one of the first flowers he ever gave to me (for one year together, if my memory serves me).
But enough nostalgia. Orchids are cool. They mean something to us. This polish is from Milani's spring line last year. It's called Orchidia, and it truly is the most perfect shade of orchid flower purple.
Orchidia is a medium-bright, warm toned purple with pink, blue, and silver shimmers that give it a cool amount of depth. It's super easy to apply, dries quickly, and is opaque in two coats.
Here's a shot with the perfume we chose for me to wear on the day in question, lol-- Dior Pure Poison. If you haven't sniffed it, it's a cold, clean musk and jasmine scent. Yes, it still smells as good today ;)
And a parting shot of us dancing. The photographer was a pain in the neck from start to finish, but our photos are fabulous. This is one of my favorites.
Thank you for reading, and have a beautiful day! ♥♥
Gorgeous GORGEOUS colour! I love that photo :)

ReplyDeleteThanks, Heather :) We were pretty excited when we first saw it. Total surprise.
DeleteHappy Anniversary! Your nail shots are beautiful and what an awesome picture from your wedding. Our photographer contacted us after our honeymoon to inform us that his camera's shutter wasn't shutting all the way so ALL of our wedding pictures were white.... we only have pics that other people took and none of them are frame worthy :( But I guess we have our memories. Wow...don't I sound like a Debbie Downer? Anyway, a beautiful polish for a beautiful girl inside and out!
ReplyDeleteOh no, how sad! :( I would have bawled. As it was, we had to threaten legal action to even get ours, but at least we got them. Did you do a video? And I know it's not the same, but something's better than nothing, and I know you look beautiful in all of them :) Thank you for your sweet words, as always. :)
DeleteNope, no video:(
