salmon pink Blush looks better than it sounds, honest

intergalacticwalrus · 11/05/2006 13:41

Me too HC. In fact, I am considering a touch up.

It's the only bit of me that will get touched up today, however

Have just done a french pedicure on them this morning. Personally (and no offence to anyone elses' tastes) I am not keen on coloured toenails. (Not terribly keen on feet full stop tbh).

spidermama · 11/05/2006 13:43

Chipped wine colour. Horrible.

Marina · 11/05/2006 13:44

It is a restrained burnt orange from Boots no 7. Not dayglo! (or turquoise! must try and find my cornflower blue varnish from last year...)

my skin is far too pale for dark colours - this one is v translucent - part of the juicy range - supposed to smell like bubble gum too - er but who wants to sniff my feet?

Marina · 11/05/2006 13:50

Well I quite fancy turquoise too - is Jellybean its name?

Someone should launch an "Endangered Smartie" blue I think....
