nail color of the week: Rimmel London Steel Grey

i have become a bit obsessed with Rimmel London's Steel Grey* nail polish (part of their Lasting Finish Pro line, available at drugstores) after seeing it featured in one of my mags (don't ask me which one-- i subscribe to so many!). seriously, i've been wearing it a lot!

this taupe-grey-purple-putty color is the perfect non-boring neutral. as you can see in the pictures, sometimes it can appear to be more grey-purple or more of a putty-grey. in less light it takes on a darker appearance.

i also have to mention that Lasting Finish Pro has something i have come to appreciate-- a wide pro brush. it makes applying the already great formula so easy. love it! :)

nail color of the week: MAC Light Affair

up until today i was wearing MAC's fabulous nail color, Light Affair. it was featured in their Love Lace collection and quickly sold out on their site.

of course, now the collection is long gone, but thankfully i was lucky enough to find that my local Macy's had a few in stock back in january.

described as a creamy pale grey taupe, this definitely comes off more pale on me (haha!). all kidding aside, when compared to a white sheet of paper, the grey was more obvious. i really like this shade and plan to wear it a lot come spring.
