the fingernail look i went for today (technically this evening) was OPI 
you don't know jacques from the france collection.  when i first saw this shade in the bottle and even on the plastic nail example at trade secret i was like, eww who would ever wear that?!  but then, as i am an avid beauty blog reader, i saw many swatches of the color on multiple ladies' fingers and fell head over heels in lemming lust.  i got it at a taylor maid beauty supply for about $3 cheaper than at the mall so how could i resist?  it is a lovely creamy dark grey/taupe with kind of a mud appearance.  i love it!  two coats over 
double duty base, 
out the door top and 
drip dry.

my toes are painted with the N.Y.C. color 
camoflauge from Target although i think you can buy this brand anywhere, like walmart or whatev.  i am reluctant to show you my toes at all, even though i think i actually have cute feet compared to most of the modern world but putting them on the internet in close up detail is a different thing altogether.  so here is all you get (i'm sure you're devastated), two coats in a beautiful rich green called 
camoflauge, 
beauty secrets ridge filler from sally beauty, 
out the door top coat, opi 
drip dry oil.
