It MAY be the end of summer and we MAY be heading into fall, but that doesn’t mean the party has to be over for our toes yet.
I am completely into O.P.I’s “Pink Flamenco”, so much so that I am actually going to show you my toes….
{And as a side note, this was the 1 photo of about 20 that didn’t show the dirt, dry skin, age spots and overall ugliness of my feet, and seriously don’t look too close, there might even be a couple toe hairs (OMG!) Just focus on the nail color (focus people, focus!!), which is a little more magenta in real life and not neon like this photo makes the color out to be.}
I promise, GREAT color! I get loads of compliments! (When I actually shower, get dressed and leave my house). But Hay and Addie tell me all the time “Pwetty toes mama, pwetty!”
LOADS, I tell ya! LOADS!
It shows a little better in the pics below. It was a quick impulse buy at the beauty shop after letting Addie spend about 20 minutes picking out a brush that was “just like mama’s”. Found it was the only way to be able to brush her hair and keep the peace….
Another story. Another day.
The nail polish was my reward for lasting through the selection process. I think I actually earned a case of polish…
Give it a try.
And have you seen this search widget from Beauty.com? I typed “OPI” and tons of colors came up. I typed “OPI Pink Flamenco” and that exact color came up (And I needed one to send the winner of this post). And then I typed “Phytocane Revitilizing Shampoo” (because I’ve run out and am totally addicted to this shampoo since it’s still managing to help me keep my hair.) Such a cinch to use! And shipping was free!
{go ahead and try it, this widget is live!}
I’ll come right out and tell ya, I’m an affiliate of Beauty.com, so I might make all of $.03 if you buy something from them. But I was a customer, long before I was an affiliate. I love that I can type almost ANY beauty product into their search box, find it, and order it in minutes. And it’s super easy to qualify for “Everyday Free Shipping“. You also earn a percentage back on your purchases from each quarter. You then have 1 month to use the credit. (Did that go over your head like it did mine the first time I read it??)
Here’s what that means:
“For example, if you purchase $200 in eligible products between October 1 and December 31, you’ll earn $10 in credit to spend on your first order in January.” Comprende? Bueno!
I tell you all of this because I’m a BIG ONLINE SHOPPER. When you have 3 little kids like I do and you’re trying to make the most of each and every spare minute you have, running errands with them is not so fun for me or for them, and usually takes a lot longer than it should. I also hate to waste sitter hours running all over town. I would much rather run 5 errands in 30 minutes on my computer. AND I hate to pay for shipping and love to find a deal. So if I recommend an online spot, you’ll most likely find both.
Beauty.com has been good to me.
AND you can buy this lovely color from them.
And get 1 from me!!!
Yep, I would love to send someone this fab little polish (totally on me, not them). Leave a comment below telling me what your current favorite polish is for your toes or fingers. I’ll select a random person on Tuesday and send one to you next week.
Have a great Labor Day everyone!
Hug your Littles, your friend Littles, your Gran Littles!
My old favorite is OPI Nantucket Mist…..still working on a new favorite

OPI Nice Color, Eh? is my go-to year-round polish but not usually in summer. I mean it looks great all year but I tend to go brighter and crazier (like an orange opi i bought this spring). loving the pink flamenco!

I love OPI’s Over the Taupe, and Essie’s “Mink Muffs” for toes.

I just went to look at the name of my OPI color and like heather, it’s Nice Color, Eh. I use it all year round, even in the summer when I’m feeling lazy. Not too bright for winter, not too dark for summer.

I really like Bullish on OPI…it’s a nice shade of red without being too “red” and always perks up my toes. :)

I ran into my bathroom to find out which OPI color I have for my toes and low and behold…there was none. No nail polish in my polish bag…I then remembered that I had to throw whatever I had out since it literally expired. Is this what happens after 2 kids, ages 1 & 3? I’m lucky if I get a 30 minute visit to a salon to pick any color!!!

A girlfriend passed this link on and I am glad she did! I really enjoy the clean look and feel of the site and the contents are fantastic! I am still very new here and have so much to check out, but as a busy mother of a 3 year old boy, a 1 year old boy and expecting my third child in March, I have to say that I find myself making time to stop by here which tells me that it is a fantastic site!! Happy birthday MFE!!!

Hi Shanna,
Cute toes!! This summer I was addicted to OPI Over the Taupe, I too got a lot of compliments. It’s a good neutral color. Love reading you every day!! Your girlies are growing so fast, they are so cute.
Happy Labor Day!!
Love,
Jen
*Note change of email address, there were so many problems with the last one!!
Hope to see you at book club one of these days!!

The best red ever…..OPI, I’m not really a waitress!

Hey Shanna-
My summer color this year has been OPI Hoodoo Voodoo on my toes. I usually get my pedi and buy the bottle so I can clean it up during the summer.

I’m actually lovin the darker OPI colors -Eiffel for the Color looks like a great one!
I’ve always thought it would be fun to name their new nail polish colors!
[Reply]
I’m in denial that summer is over, as well! We have plenty of warm weather and sunshine left, so let those pink toes show :)
My favorite color is OPI Dim Sum Plum – also a cute summery pink. But my 6-year old just had her toes done up in OPI Funky Dunky, from their Shrek collection (yes, they have a Shrek collection!), and I must say, they look pretty darned cute!
Keep up the good work – I really enjoy your blog!

OPI A Good Mandarin is Hard To Find …. because it IS! I spent half of the summer looking for the right orange polish that was not too neon, too red or just too orange!

My current color is an OPI shade of light pink! I hurt my toe the other day so it has been covered in a band aid! I think the Pink Flamenco would make it feel much better!

My fav is “It’s all greek to me” – I think it’s opi but I could be wrong. I’m thinking of trying the phyto stuff too because my hair is coming out like crazy. I even had it thinned hoping that would help but it didn’t. So, I’m going to think, through the night, about Phyto and see if I can justify the price. ;-) But, I would have never known about it if it weren’t for you – so thank you!
