Tonight I went into a nail place for a pedicure for my upcoming rheumatology appointment in the morning (oh fun, not), and I really wanted a pretty pink to wear, so I chose China Glaze Strawberry Fields from the Summer Days collection. This is the famous glass fleck polish that I had heard so much about. Strawberry Fields is a medium pink with orange gold (goldish?) shimmer. I was still wearing my Free Love on my hands but the shop owner (who adores me for some reason) told me that she HAD to paint one coat of Strawberry Fields over my orange so that my hands and toes match (at no charge). She was also freaking out that these were my real nails, and not fake.
Again, I do NOT recommend doing this because the old color "bleeds" through every time, and it's super apparent in these pictures.
Look at how dark my hands are compared to the bottle! Oy! Here is a close up of the glass flecks.
And some older pictures to see a true color.
Excuse me, I'm going to go sing the Beatles song now...
