Hi everyone!! I've been under the weather since Sunday and have since become completely obsessed with the tv show "Scandal" and its lead character, Olivia Pope's (actress Kerry Washington), spot-on perfect light neutral wardrobe and classic and utterly tasteful style. My own style is a little flashier and leans dark rather than light, and I love any excuse to sport a nice, classic nail, usually in a crimson or wine shade. After watching this show in marathon sessions for three days in a row, though, I found myself eager to try on some of the light, soft shades Olivia Pope wears and that I also love but seldom use, in favor of my reds. One of the first colors that came to my mind was {LVX D'Orsay}, a pale blushed peachy pink creme.

I used three easy coats of D'Orsay and finished with one layer of topcoat (full polish and collection review {HERE}). I just adore the crispness, subtlety, and class of this color.
D'Orsay is available for sale at {shoplvx.com}. The Fall 2014 collection is available for presale now, as well, so please go take a look at what's in store and treat yourself.
Scandal kicked off its fourth season last night and I just started watching the third, so if you watch it and are all caught up, NO SPOILERS!!
Thank you for reading and have a beautiful day!! ♥♥

This color is a nice palette cleanser on the nails.
ReplyDeleteIt really is. I think I'll be palette cleansing for a while :) :)
DeleteThis is such a pretty and delicate colour. I like it :-) Lol never heard of the show though! :-|
ReplyDeleteHubby had a gig on Tuesday night. They played really well and enjoyed it! I managed to get the whole thing on video!! :-)
The show is so good! It's a little on the soapy side but it's totally intriguing and the second season just sucks you in... It's worth watching just for the lead character's outfits alone, lol :) Google Olivia Pope and you'll see what I mean.
DeleteAwesome that you got the show on video! If you care to share, I'd love to hear :)
Love this! I don't have enought off-whites in my collection!
ReplyDeleteAnd I don't use mine enough :) Thank you!!
DeleteA gorgeous shade - and it looks so good on you!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, doll ♥
DeleteSo soft and delicate... haven't tried and of the LVX polishes but they are definitely on the list :)
ReplyDeleteThey are wonderful. Spendy, but so worth treating yourself.
DeleteOh I just love this shade so much! It's a great palette cleanser! I have yet to watch scandal but so many people are talking about it that I'll have to give it a shot!
ReplyDeleteYou should :) I don't even remember what prompted me to start watching because I'm not really into buzzworty stuff until it's through being buzzed about, lol.
DeleteAnd thank you :) It really is a gorgeous color.
I love a good palate cleanser! LVX is a great brand :)
ReplyDeleteAlways, lol :) And yes, LVX is awesome.
DeleteSometimes I wish I could wear super pale polishes like this, but then I remember I'm the same color so it doesn't quite work. :P It looks lovely on you. :) Oh, and 2 things: 1) Great necklace and 2) This is my favorite nail shape on you.
ReplyDeleteSo you're saying this could be your mannequin hands shade? ;D I'm not sure how well I pull this one off but it is just. so. Pretty! The necklace... I love it, too, and I wish I felt like I had more places to wear lariat lengths. And thank you :) I just don't think I can deal with squares any more. lol.
DeleteThat color looks really classy on you! Those types tend to look chalky on me, but you totally rock it. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, sweets :) I feel like it's all in the formula and this one isn't the least bit chalky.
