NOTD - Nicole Paparazzi Plum

I love going to see my nail tech. She has this amazing wall of discontinued polish from Nicole, OPI and Creative. It's a total treasure trove. It's where I found my bottle of OPI Rainforest. There is this one Creative polish that I lust after. It's called Amazon and it's a stunning emerald green. Some day it will be mine. Oh yes, it will be mine.

I went to see her the other night and found this beauty on the wall. Nicole Paparazzi Plum is deep deep plum with subtle shimmer. I compared it to my swatch of OPI Lincoln Park At Midnight and they are very very close. So close that you don't need to hunt this one down or pay crazy eBay prices for it.

I really enjoy doing my own nails and taking the time to do them well but there's something so relaxing about getting a manicure. I'm not gonna lie, when I do my nails, it takes me a while. It has taken me quite some time to get over my clumsiness and improve my polish application. So, watching a pro is fun for me. Every time I see her, I pick up some new. Either how much polish she leaves on the brush or exactly where on the nail she starts applying. Every little bit helps make me better.

So kids, what's on your nails today?
