Feeling Blue
My new favorite color for my nails when I’m feeling something dark, is this glamorous midnight blue, named Midnight Cami, from Essie’s Cuddle with Color Fall 2009 Collection, for its subtle sparkly shine and rich color. I’ve recently been finding the typical black nail polish passe and boring. I like to paint my nails with a spot of color so that I have something pretty to look at while I type away at my keyboard all day.
I equate the deepness of the color to a blue ink pen spill or a sapphire stone, one of my favorite exotic jewels. The color has a lushness that is pure jet, but injected with a high shine finish. A cousin to this color from the OPI nail family would be their Russion Navy color, but this color is more vibrant and less flat. Midnight Cami is a great color to try out when you have short nails, because it is so dramatic that it draws the eye in and makes your nails look longer than they really are. Short nails also keep the effect of the color looking dramatic, chic and polished, rather than Smurf or Martian-like.

I’m not one of those people that believes that nail color needs to match wardrobes, since I like to use my nail polish color to be a little more experimental! I can tell you though that the blue actually worked really well with black outfits because it’s dark enough to almost be mistaken for black, but has that blue sheen that was really attention getting. I got a lot of “Ooh, fun color” comments at work!
I love the color! Sometimes I only use dark colors on my toes though….especially if they are very dramatic.
really like this color! but does it go with all sorts of wardrobes? does nail polish color follow the rules of “you can’t mix navy blue and black”?
