Marsala is Pantone’s Colour of the Year, and I’ve fallen for its earthy richness. (There’s a wide range of interpretation for this colour that spans grandma chic to classy fashionista.)

So you can imagine my excitement when I received a telephone call from INGLOT O2M Breathable Nail Polish #682! (It’s a lighter take on the Marsala trend.)

We chatted on the phone for several hours about celebrity crushes, men who acted like boys, favourite poutine hot spots in Toronto, and how hard it was to resist the Ann Taylor flash sales.

Even though this INGLOT nail polish is the “It” shade for 2015, it still remained down-to-earth and relatable, which is proof that fame hasn’t gone to its head! 😉

We decided to meet in person for a fun snow day after grabbing caramel lattes with whipped cream from Starbucks!

This post features photos I took from our precious time together.

INGLOT O2M Breathable Nail Enamel in shade #682 is so photogenic, but I wouldn’t expect anything less from a Marsala shade. 🙂 It’s the Colour of the Year for a reason!

As you can see, even the rock below seemed to want to get in on some of the Marsala action.

We went on the swings and shared stories about our carefree childhood days. Oh to be young again! 😉

Psst! I’ll fill you in on a little known fact about this INGLOT O2M breathable nail polish: It never learned how to ride a bicycle!

Below is a photo of when I gave it some lessons. What a fast learner!

More than just a pretty face, this INGLOT O2M breathable nail polish was also extremely athletic. (I had trouble keeping up when we were monkeying around and climbing trees!)

Apparently the INGLOT O2M nail polish went rock climbing often, so climbing trees wasn’t a far departure. (It taught me some cool techniques of where to grab the tree and place your foot to make things easier.)

Climbing further up, the INGLOT O2M breathable nail enamel and I found a little spot to take a breather as we admired the view. (Mother Nature is the best artist. She knows how to paint a landscape!)

After walking and enjoying the mild-winter weather, we spotted a playground.

Bringing out our inner child, we raced to the slides. (Of course the INGLOT nail polish beat me to the top. I think it goes to the gym regularly because I’m pretty speedy, but I just couldn’t keep up!)

Hope you enjoyed these little snapshots!

Stay tuned because I’ll be wearing this nail polish as a full manicure and reviewing it in detail. As you can tell, I’m quite excited since this is my first INGLOT O2M Breathable nail polish. (I’ve been wanting to try one ever since attending an exclusive INGLOT blogger event!)
