Sea-faring Nails

I'm kidding...I mean that I've tried navy nail polish and I love it. After seeing these photos on Cup of Jo, I had to. What was I supposed to do, really? I can't count how many nail polishes I have. Most are Essie or OPI, but I decided to try L'Oreal this time, and I definitely wasn't disappointed. The color,  After Hours, was vivid and easy to put on. Not too runny or too thick. I love the outcome! Mine are a bit darker than the color in these pics, but I love them no less. Now I just need to find an army green sweater...

Close, but No Cigar

I've had a little bit of a nail polish dilemma that has now taken over my free time. I'm looking for a good muddy brown color that isn't too dark brown, not too gray. Just the right combination. Problem? The color I want doesn't exist. If it does, it's hiding from me because it knows I will use it all up in like a week. I've already bought 4 colors that have each broken my heart a little bit when they turned out too light/dark/purple-y/gray. Why is it sooo hard to find the exact right color? I'm willing to pay- I have my debit card ready. Somebody help me!
