Well, dang if that couldn't have been a great song title. Because sometimes it is a hard knock life and you need just a pinch of glitter. Which I have this week. My hard knock life is represented by my hangnails, which seem to sprout back as soon as I clip them. Obviously, my life's not
Hunger Games hard knocks or anything like that :-)
I received Deborah Lippman's Hard Knock Life in a Barney's gift bag, and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a bit disappointed at my luck of the draw in color. It's a very nice polish, but the color is not that original. However, I really like it with a matte topcoat (I used Julep's), as it gives an industrial/modern vibe.
The now discontinued Justa' Pinch of Glitter by Sephora by Opi is a great compliment glitter with it's clear base and black, grey, silver microglitter/medium round silver glitter. I'm glad I picked it up when all the Sephora by OPI polishes were on clearance.
Linking up with The Nail Files hosted by Jennie Shaw:
Those do look really good together. I miss the Sephora by OPI polishes. I had some that I really liked & they aren't looking to good now.

Sephora by OPI has several of my favorites, without a doubt. I haven't tried any of the polishes that replaced them yet.
DeleteI like the way you described it as having an "industrial" vibe - makes me want to throw some matte top coat on some grey polish myself!!
ReplyDeleteI like matte top coat to make something common a bit more different. Plus, it dries super fast :-)
DeleteLovely combination of colors!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I seem to gravitate towards grays in the winter.
DeleteLOVING this as a matte. Like, a loooooooot. And obviously, I'm all about a pinch of glitter (or a whole bucket, whatever, ha!).
ReplyDeleteAnd hangnails. Ugh. I have problems with them too. So annoying!
You are so expressive/articulate, I just love it :-)
