Wedding Nails and Vintage Things

Vintage green and gold ring

Ulta Professional polish in Green with Envy

A hard topped, vintage clutch

Hope everyone had a great weekend! I had a wedding to go to on Saturday, and needed to paint my nails desperately. I already had this Ulta polish and was wearing a black strapless dress, so I thought the green would go nicely. I've been going a bit crazy with my nail looks lately - chucks of glitter, hearts, nail stickers, etc so this color looked...tame.

I love mixing new and old items with my wardrobe. I'm a sucker for jewelry, especially vintage jewelry. This ring and unique clutch were given to me by my great aunt before she passed away. I always admired her accessories - classic, timeless, beautiful items that would pull her look together. Even in her later years, she would come to our family parties with exquisite pearl necklaces, broaches and rings. I was fortunate enough to be given this ring and clutch, and always smile when I wear them. I like thinking about how each item traveled through the world before it got to me. In addition - they are great conversation starters!

Polish Fusion

Sparkly and dark!

Glitter flecks

I used the green one as a base, and put the silver on top

New Ulta and Nicole by OPI colors! =)

I decided that I wanted to go with a dramatic nail look last night, and here are the results! I feel in love with the silver one and the huge glitter flecks when I saw it at Ulta. But since it's mostly sheer, I wanted to put a bold color underneath to offset the silver. Enter: Green With Envy. This green is almost black with a green/gold sheen. It looked really pretty alone, but I was hellbent on trying the silver, so I tried them both =)

You guys like it? Hope everyone had an awesome weekend!
