I was thinking the other day about just how much I hate red nail polish. I can't tell you why, and I don't think there is any rhyme or reason to why this is, but I just absolutely don't understand the idea of wearing bright red nail polish on your fingers. I have plenty of friends who love the shade, and more power to them, but I can't remember a single time when I've walked into the nail salon and thought, "Huh, I think I'll get red nail polish today."
This got me thinking about how I choose to embrace boldness as part of my beauty routine, and I realized that I would much prefer to rock a bold lip than a bedazzled manicure. While I still shy away from dark lips sometimes because I feel as though they are so attention-drawing in a school setting, I do love putting a dark berry or wine, bright reds, and all shades of hot pink on my lips.
Yet when it comes to my nails, I almost always opt for a neutral shade. Even in the summer time, I tend to reach for Mod About You by OPI instead of a hot pink or coral (The bright, almost white-ish pink looks amazing with a tan!!). Beiges, grays, and neutral darks are my go-to nail polish shades most of the time. Just ask my mom, who literally hunted down Essie's Spin the Bottle after I realized it was the perfect nude.
Whether you choose to deck out your lips or your nails, the fall is a great time to experiment and try something new. Who knows, maybe I'll even opt for a red mani?!
Which do you prefer - fun lipsticks or unique nail polish?
