For Girls Only

In the last few years, pink has become a more neutral color. When I was younger, only girls wore pink. No exceptions. Then around the time of high school (the 90's), boys started to wear polo shirts with pink in them somewhere. In the last ten years, men have just gone all out with it. Pink shirts, pink ties, and pink cars (well, maybe just Cam'ron, the rapper).

I think it's great. I don't think any gender should be restricted when it comes to color. That said, I can't help but feel all pretty and girly when I wear pink on my nails. It just does something to me. China Glaze Strawberry Fields and Finger Paints I'm a Survivor are two colors that get me every time.

You've seen Strawberry Fields (Summer Days collection). Vivid pink with gold glass-flecked shimmer. It's one of ChG's best. I'm a Survivor was part of the 2010 Breast Cancer Awareness collection. The name always makes me think of the Destiny's Child song, which means it gets stuck in my head all day. But that's ok, because the color makes up for it. I'm a Survivor is bright pink with silver shimmer. Two coats, no topcoat in both pictures.


Strawberry Fields. I posted pics of this one before, but they were all washed out and, well, awful. These pics are much more true to how the shade looks on me.






I'm a Survivor. This one reminds me of rock candy.






The formula was good on both.

Happy painting!
