Today I have another shade from the Skyfall Collection – OPI The Spy Who Loved Me!
I’ve had a long-time fascination with spies. Their dramatic and dangerous lives are poetic romance realized.
If I ever tie the knot, it’ll probably be to an artist, a graphic designer, a writer, or a spy. They make my heart race.
What did you want to be when you were little? When I was a kid, I wanted to be an international spy. Why international? I wanted to travel the world and lead a dangerous, exciting, and unpredictable life.
I made coding and deciphering devices for my friends to use when we wrote notes to each other in class (which was all the time, by the way).
While my female friends always wanted to pretend to be princesses, I always asked to play a spy. They didn’t like that, so I pitched the idea of being a princess who was also a spy. That worked!
Although I wasn’t a tomboy, I did enjoying playing with the guys who were in a grade higher than me. In particular, there were two guys who were my ‘adventure mates’. They loved pretending to be spies with me (on equal terms, too! No sexism! YAY!), and we’d run all around the playground, making notes on everyone’s decidedly suspicious behaviour in our books. And we’d make up adventure stories in which we were the heroes, naturally, and our classmates were masterminding some malicious scheme that we were going to get to the bottom of. đ It was exciting, and our imaginations were often so vivid that we ended up scaring ourselves or becoming paranoid…haha!
So…I kind of, sort of like the name of this nail polish. đ
Gold nail polishes usually aren’t my thing because a lot of times, they make my hands look washed out.
In my very first Topbox (November 2011), one of the items included was Deborah Lippmann Some Enchanted Evening.
Maybelline Downtown Brown is part of the Color Show line, and this is a highly unique nail polish. In my stash of 600+ bottles, I don’t have anything like this brown-green duochrome.
How’s the weather where you are? In the last little while, the temperature has taken quite a dip.
China Glaze Dorothy Who? is from the Wizard of Ooh Ahz Returns Collection that was released in 2009. It was a re-release of the collection from 2001. (The re-release commemorated The Wizard of Oz movie’s 70th anniversary.)
You’re used to seeing me review various nail-polish shades and dabble into the fun world of nail art, but it’s always important to remember that what you use to prime your nails is what can make or break your manicure.
