Darkness on the Edge

Dark nail polishes with hints of shimmer are like trenchcoats worn with high heels—mysterious, with a surprise bonus of sex appeal. That’s my analogy, anyway, and I’m sticking to it. Maybe it’s the stormy weather we've had this week, but I’m currently going through a trench/stiletto nail polish phase and these are some of the shades I’m playing with.
