Today's title seems ominous to me, like the nail polish equivalent of The Devil & Tom Walker. Don't be scared, I promise it's not!
Today I have Black Shatter over Color Club Cub Mrs. Robinson, a neon purple creme. I went to go get a neon purple, and for some reason I remembered Essie Perky Purple as the most neon purple, and also as kind of a PITA in that neon way. Since I'd been sorting, Perky Purple was with Color Club Mrs. Robinson, which I recall being low maintenance, and I was surprised to see they're really close. Not exactly the same, but close enough that I'll take the one that's less effort. I grabbed the Essie bottle when I went out to take pictures so you could see them together.

Enough about that! It's time to show you who matches today's manicure.

In including DLR today, I certainly don't mean to classify him with hair bands of the '80's. The fact is, he has a long track record of success that proves he's talented. When his first solo album came out, I saw his live show to promote it, and he's a heck of a showman, and his success makes sense to me. That being said, he really embraced the whole '80's over-the-top way of doing things wholeheartedly. I know there are quite a few younger readers who probably don't have memory of this time, so I thought I'd show you a poster that was on my sister's bedroom wall then. Here, you can see much of DLR's appeal was more in what he didn't wear.
Wow. |
I Don't Like Where This Is Going |
So that's today's manicure and a corresponding picture from the '80's. This work week's theme has evolved into an interpretation of the '80's through OPI Black Shatter, a far narrower and more specific theme than I ever would have consciously chosen, but it seems to be working out alright. I think it would be fun to do another theme for next Monday through Friday, but I don't have any ideas that seem this silly. If you have suggestions you think would be entertaining, please let me know! If I get a few good ones, I'll put them to a vote over the weekend and go with the winner.
That's what I have for you today, Dear Reader, until tomorrow, love and nail polish to you!
