No, no, holly, you are fine - it's me being dense. Or perhaps I am refusing to accept that there may actually be a reason why the boots scenario shouldn't happen

Oh, how amusingly apposite! My OPI varnish of choice this even is a very dark blue and, obsessed as I am, I found myself thinking "this colour would really suit Lucas". Then I recalled that the name of the varnish is "Russian Navy" :)
