Blue.

So it seems that except for Mama Cara (who I think we've concluded is my Italian twin--we have too many random things in common, including the masochistic interest in baking from scratch), nobody really cares (or has time to care?) about how to bake a cake from scratch. And honestly, I don't blame you. That's why God invented the corner bakery, anyway.

So, let's move on to more important issues: nail color. The Budget Fashionista recently reported that blue is the hot new trend in nail color. I love me some funky nail color, and while it is winter down here, we do not pack up our sandals when the first cold front blows in. Inevitably, we will enjoy at least warm and sunny reprieve every couple of weeks or so. In other words, we can't let our toes go to pot.

On my weekly visit to Target, I picked up a couple of shades of blue to try--"Skin Tight Denim" and "Turquoise Seas" by N. Y. C. I don't spend a lot of cash on nail color, and I've found that the N. Y. C. brand provides long wear and good coverage.

I tried the darker shade first. It reminds me of my stand-by black polish, but with a little extra whimsy. What do you think?

I like the blue. I can't pull off blue polish. I think there's definitely enough blue here to differentiate it from standard black polish.

You're so "in!"

Did I not comment on the cake? Because I? Care! But more than that I just want to eat that yummy cake. Pleaseandthankyouverymuch.

When I got married, I painted my toes blue--almost that very same color. It was my "something blue." Ahead of the trend? By 8 years? I doubt it. But I sure thought I was clever! (I still love the polish, btw.)

And since I'm in desperate--DESPERATE!--need of a pedi, maybe I'll get blue!

As freaky as it is, I too love funky nail colors and I believe I have almost the exact same shade of blue! Which I love on you, by the way.
