This nail polish is like the first born, blonde, blue eyed male child of my nail polish collection right now. Don’t get all judgmental on me; this is something we used to joke about at my previous job: that my department was the red-headed stepchild of the company and that I would make them into the first born, blonde, blue eyed male child if it killed me…which it nearly did. But that’s another story…
I can’t remember the last time I was completely blown away by a nail polish so I am giddy right now. I don’t know what it is about it that just mesmerizes me. It’s purple and blue. It’s dark and shimmery. It’s just so gorgeous I can’t stand it. Of course there was basically no sunlight today so I had to make do with indoor lighting and flash. I really would have liked to photograph this baby in direct sunlight but I didn’t want to wait since it’s been cold and overcast here for the last 3 days.
Don’t tell me that you don’t love it as much as I do because I will have to hunt you down and destroy you.
In other news, I’m going to the gym tonight just as soon as I finish watching The Office. I need to get my ipod out and update it with a few new songs. I was listening to the Gotye song “Somebody That I Used To Know” and I thought: When did The Police record a new song? Just an FYI…I am the biggest The Police fan. I love them. Can you remember swooning over Sting in “Don’t Stand So Close To Me?” No? Well, you must either be way young or just insane.
Raaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwrrrr! I totally had a major thing for my college American Literature professor and I blame this video. Why does it seem that everything is more intense when you’re 17? I never missed his class even though it was at 8 am.
So what other songs should I download? Are there songs that you enjoy when you hit the gym? And, oh yeah…what do you think about Mysterious Curse?
Lol your description kills me! This really is gorgeous. I want to swatch it and see if i have any dupes first.
And hello?! The Police! Love. My husband makes fun of me endlessly.
He doesn't get it. The Police rocks. 😀
Do you think you have something similar? I was trying to think if I had anything similar, but I couldn't think of any.
I was thinking maybe deborah lippmann dancing in the sheets. I dont *think* it is similar enough to not buy the orly one too, but i want to swatch to be sure 🙂 i think the duochrome on this is better than the DL
Well apparently this is a re-promote of Orly Royal Velvet. Since I don't have many Orly polishes, I didn't even notice it.
So puuuuurdy! Drool… (I'm sorry, my brain is fried today lol)
It's ok. Mine is always fried. 🙂 Glad you like it!
This is so freaking gorgeous….I've been staring at my bottle wanting to wear it…but I'm making myself wait for the right moment lol.
Do it! Do it!
holy moly this color is gorgeous! I must have it!! Definitely will be out on the look for it.
It's not just me, right?! It's just so beautiful and complex. This is the kind of nail polish I wish came out more often. But on second thought, I might go bankrupt if they did.
Thanks for visiting my blog and for commenting. I always love feedback. 🙂
That is REALLY pretty! I see why you didn't wanna stamp it up or anything and just wear it out. When I go to Sally's tomorrow maybe they'll have them. (maybe)
I got the whole Gotye album and you'd probably like it ok but it's not necessarily gym music. I LOVE Somebody That I Used to Know and I definitely hear some police/hall and oates/etc kinda flavor throughout the album. I like the album but I like a little more catchy/upbeat stuff so it's kinda on the backburner for me. What other kind of music do you like? I recently bought a bunch of hiphopish music so if you like that I have recommendations for dayssssss.
Ahhhhhh…you mentioned Hall & Oates. I am a huge H&O nerd. I am actually open to all kinds of music….I must have music always and I love to sing even though I suck at it.
I think I did see this collection at Sally already. My nail guy sells Orly for $3.75 so I always try to get them there. Maybe once my nails get a little beat up I will put a stamp over it to cover up the wear and tear. I'm just really liking how awesome this polish is.
I loooove Hall and Oates. Man, when I was student teaching a couple years ago I listened to their album (I think it was like Rock and Soul or something) on the 45 minute drive there and back and never got sick of it. Now I feel like listening to it right now. 🙂
I didn't make it to Sally's today but hopefully I will tomorrow. Since you messed up your nails doing your toes, maybe you should just repaint and do a stamp over the top? I bet it'd look pretty with it's blue/purpley goodness 🙂

LMAO on Gotye! First time I heard it on the radio I was all like "Hey! Police have a new song!" I honestly thought I was the only one who felt this way! It's a lousy workout song though, lol. This polish is swoon worthy. I do not know this movie it is inspired by, but I don't care. It's so pretty.
The female voice on the song reminded me of Katy Perry. Katy Perry + The Police???? That's so funny that you heard it too!
I downloaded it yesterday and you are right…it's a lousy gym song. lol I used the genius thing on my Ipod and the mix was NOT genius at all. I just need some distraction. Since I am so blind and don't wear my glasses when I'm working out, I basically can't look around and stuff so I have to keep myself entertained with music.

I just bought a polish very similar to this last night – No7 Sing the Blues. Beautiful. I love this shade of blue!
Oooh! I had to look it up and it looks really pretty! From the swatches I can't tell if it has purple in it. Does it?
No…it's definitely blue. It's such a beautiful blue, really glows in the sun!

You might want to check your local Sally's. Mine has a few bottles of Mysterious Curse for half price. I got one today, and I just tried it quickly on one of my nails. I wasn't impressed, but seeing your pictures made me change my mind. It's beautiful!
I have been hearing about this clearance stuff! I am probably going to go this week to see if I find anything cool. Thank you for the comments about my pictures! 🙂 I really appreciate it because I have been working so hard to improve my picture quality…it's definitely hard!
The clearance sale is this weekend only, isn't it? Or does it last till Labor Day?
I have no idea! I'm not going to risk it. I'm hitting Sally tomorrow. lol
I need to, too! I'm feeling so behind on everything since I'm prepping for inlaws due in town Tuesday night!
