Take a dive with Russian Navy

I was never a black nail polish kind of girl. In fact, I always went for sheer colors. But after seeing an entire Nordstrom catalog of models with nail hues of dark and metallic blues, I couldn't resist.

I went bold and tried OPI's Russian Navy. It's a deep indigo, which I thought was purple, but it's actually between a blue and purple on the color spectrum. Which explains why in some lights the polish looks navy blue, and other times it looks dark purple. I love it either way. I have noticed though that my outfits tend to be darker now, to match with the darker polish. I'm sure it would look great with brighter colored clothes though.

The only disadvantage with dark polish is that I have to make sure I apply carefully. Those little mistakes really show.

Get your own bottle at Amazon for $5.45. (Much cheaper than me. I paid $8 at a local beauty supply store.)
