It's such a small thing but I love how a nail color can make such a difference in your appearance.<br /><br />Christine - Yay for you! Wicked is a bold step for someone that only wears light colors. It's a shame that the mani didn't last longer. What kind of base and top coat were you using?<br /><br />Anon - Thank you for chiming in. I'm so happy that you like my blog and the post I did about Helen Mirren. I completely understand wearing subdued tones when your profession requires it. That applies to women of any age.

I would *love* to participate in the 'dare,' BUT!..<br />(I know what you're thinking.. I'm a 'scaredy butt!') BUT...<br /><br />First, I am a 'woman of a certain age," (and loved your comments on Helen Mirren, who looks fantastic! And being in the 'arts,' she can wear anything, and still look appealling and classy.) <br /><br />We 'women of a certain age' have a more narrow corridor of expression with our appearance. Sweet young things can wear microminis, blue hair, outrageous make up and look adorable. However, once a woman hits 40, she must be very careful. Most women want to look attractive without seeming to 'cross a line.' <br />Women who work in creative professions have more lee-way (Look at Meryl STreep in "Devil WEars Prada"- she looked great! But in her real life, Meryl is more conservative and more subdued. She still has appeal, but tones it down.) <br /><br />I work in a very conservative profession (clergy), and although I love what I do, anything that draws undue attention, makes my appearance 'grist for the mill.' And I don't want undue attention! So I tend to go for more tradition manicures. I do wear pales, shimmers, sheers, and more subdued colors (rose, peach, champagne, shades of caramel, pinkish browns, etc). <br /><br />Back in my day, I wasn't afraid of anything: I was an early girl to green nail color coz that's what Liza MInelli wore in "Cabaret." <br /><br />These days I'll glam it up for dinner out, or wear greens and blues on vacation. However, I'm all business during the work week.But I love beauty blogs like yours coz they remind me that I'm still a girl! <br /> <br />I have a chestful of color, and my 25 year old daughter is always 'borrowing' my stuff coz she knows its the good stuff. Hi,

Love your blog…

I've been completely afraid of a dark color, particularly since I use my hands a lot at work, I'm sure that it won't last very long. <br />But, inspired by you, and Annie at Blogdorf Goodman, I decided to give dark a try! I'm the proud owner now of Essie Wicked, and gave it a try last week. I got a lot of compliments, and loved it! I'll give it a shot again soon, when I can find one that lasts longer than the 2 days that mani did. :D I’ve always been a boring pale pink/sheer color girl.

Then I read about this blog in glamour and thought I love nail stuff, I'll check it out. So I did and then got convinced that I should try new, not blue and silver colors. For the last month I have wore dark browns and purples. And this week. I used a bright corvette red my mom gave me ages ago. I never got more comments on my mani before! I was SHOCKED; I still am. So i guess trying that forbidden color in your collection my seem scary, but it might be worth a shot. Good Luck to you and your color test!!
