L'Oreal Sparkling Soirée Holiday 2014-- Almost Midnight

  As much as I love to wear purple clothes, sweaters, coats, shoes, bathrobe, lol, purple nail polishes have never been my forte.  Maybe it's because of the superfluity of the color in my wardrobe-- I'd rather something more complementary and less matchy-matchy.  Maybe it's those elegant bottles and brushed gold caps, or maybe it's the fact that this purple leans warm and dusky and not cool and royal.  L'Oreal Almost Midnight, from the holiday 2014 Sparkling Soirée collection, spoke volumes to me.

My Niece's Nails

Well, I've had a good three month stretch with no breakage, but it finally happened a couple nights ago.  It wouldn't be such a big deal to file them all down, but my nubbins aren't even cute.  So I didn't think I'd be doing any polishing for a good week, but then the opportunity presented itself last night while I was hanging out with my 8 year old niece, Ali.  We got into my stash and she chose three colors for her manicure-- Nicole Respect the World, Zoya Trixie, and Zoya Edyta.

Yes, this girl chose an olive/hunter green for her mani, all on her own, with no prompting. lol.  And does she have an eye for color, or what?  I never would have paired the aqua NOPI with Edyta, but they look kind of awesome together.  Here's the finished product.

Ali let out the most excited "Ohhhh!"  when I first painted Edyta on her little fingers.  Haven't we all done that when we're experiencing a mind-blowingly gorgeous new color for the first time, even just in our minds? ;)

Anyway, here's a parting shot of my pretty little nailista, so proud of her awesome nails. 

I told her I was going to put her on my blog, as long as it was okay with her mom, and she was stoked about that, too.  I sure do love this girl. <3

Have a most awesome weekend, and thank you for reading! :)
