China Glaze in Turned Up Turquoise
This is absolutely my favorite color of nail lacquer! Seriously, I feel like shouting Nike! or Eureka! or something because, I have searched and searched tirelessly for TWO years to find this exact shade! I still remember the day when I saw this very color at MAC and the girls at the counter said that it was sold out- No problem, I'd thought, I'll just buy it online. That effort was futile as well, because NO one had it! Imagine my dismay, when I marched back into MAC and offered to buy the SAMPLE nail polish- well they were sympathetic, but not apologetic- sending me on my way. I do not doubt that to this day one of the counter girls had her beady eye on it- but oh well, life goes on...
So, I was all but content to live without it- There will be others, I said to myself
and that was when lo, & behold on a shopping trip (which fortuitously landed me at a grand opening of an ULTA store) and oh, it was definitely one of those moments where you could hear the heavenly choir singing, because I saw THE COLOR- the ONE I had been forced to give up! I suppose I had not given up hope entirely, but was almost resigned to the fact that I would never see it again, until the trend resurfaced, (and I was sure I would be in my late forties by that time), but no, it was here and it was now- and it matches my new FAB scarf I just found on sale, so life is great- and my faith in the beauty industry is restored!
