OPI Purple Palazzo Pants is the kind of purple-toned pink that I admire in the bottle. But it’s probably too cool-toned for my skin. Nevertheless, like peace, I give polish a chance! (You never know if you’ll land on one that flatters.)
It reminded me a bit of OPI Lucky Lucky Lavender, a polish that I know I have somewhere around here. (Back in the day, I wore that, and it sadly didn’t work out for me. It would look incredible on someone whose skin tone is either richer or fairer than mine.)
When I first laid eyes on OPI Purple Palazzo Pants, which is from the OPI Venice Collection for Fall/Winter 2015 that I did a Quick Look post on, it reminded me right away of MAC Dodgy Girl, the cool-toned purplish-pink lipstick that I lusted after, even though I can’t quite pull it off!
Life is too short to put extra restrictions on yourself when it comes to having fun with colour, and nail polish is an easy way to infuse the rainbow into your day.
I try to practice what I preach, so even though this colour may not be the most flattering on me, I wore it for a couple of days because I like it. And, so far, nobody has made a distasteful comment to my face or from behind a screen about it.
(Maybe that sounds like an invitation to trolls. It’s not! However, I’ve had my fair share of trolls over the years who leave mean-spirited comments on social media or via e-mail. No worries – after all, I’ve got my ‘big girl palazzo pants’ on now, right? 😉 Hehe!)
