So you know how a few weeks back I declared that winter 2012 was going to be the season of bright colours, and to hell with traditional winter shades of bleh, blah and boring?
Mecca Cosmetica Valeria nail polish
This is exactly what I’m talking about. Valeria nail polish by Mecca Cosmetica (or to give it its full name, Painted Beauty Glide On nail colour) is a loud and proud aqua cream. No shimmer and no sparkle to distract you, just pure colour that applies in two thin coats. It wears like a demon too; normally I find nail polishes chip and peel after only a day or two, but this looked flawless four days after application.
Imagine the look: black on black on black on black from collar to cuffs, offset by striking aqua nails popping against a coral clutch. Aqua holds its own against the watery winter sunlight too, reflecting back the cooler light of June/July without getting washed out and blah looking.
Seriously y’all. Get on board the winter brights bandwagon with Valeria and leave the dark shades in the dust!
