Throwback

After all the glitter swatching excitement, I chose a very subdued polish for my nails for the end of last week: Stila Nail Shimmer in Juno, a sheer-ish beige shimmer. I bought this years and years ago, on a trip with my mom. It was the first time I'd set foot in a Sephora and the first time I'd bought any nail polish outside of a drug store. I got two bottles and remember thinking they were really expensive, but since I was on vacation that didn't seem quite as important as it would back home. I want to say they were around $10, but it's been so long I'm not sure. They definitely have that old school chemical smell about them; it took a while for that to dissipate even after the polish was dry.





One more, in less direct light (and after another helping of cuticle oil):



I think the shimmer in here is so pretty, and I wish I'd bought more colors of these (and kept them) when I had the chance. Good thing I like this shade, as Mr. Karen and I went away for the weekend and I didn't get a chance to change my polish before we left, or after we got home, so it's still on my nails today (and holding up very well, too).
