Brown and gold

I never thought I would ever see myself wearing brown nail polish.  I don't really know why... I like brown.  I guess it just seemed boring for nail color.  But it's not.  It's rich.



This is two coats of OPI You Don't Know Jacques!, stamped with Sally Hansen Insta Dri Go for Gold using the Mash-41 plate, and topped with one coat of China Glaze Fairy Dust.  Revlon base coat and Seche Vite top coat, as usual.

I like the color of You Don't Know Jacques!, even though I didn't expect to.  It's a rich taupe brown, and not too gray.  I'm still not sold on gray or gray-taupe polish.  Warm colors are better with my skin tone, and I think most grays are too cool for me.  This is a nice medium brown.



I think the Fairy Dust might have been the slightest bit of overkill, but I do like the sparkle.  Next time I'll probably do either the stamp or the sparkle, but not both.

Still, I like the way it came out.
