Essie Eternal Optimist

I am too tired to take pictures and upload so this is Eternal Optimist from last week or so. Gosh it's getting harder to type everyday. I am really bad at typing as some of you know already, nails make it impossible to not typo!


I like the color, but I don't think it suits my skintone. It's a pinkish nude that made me look sallow in person. Does that mean I'm warm tone?


I think this indoor shot came out too dark, but you can really see the pink! I am wearing 3 coats, sorry about the cut too.

    I too like it on you, it's subtle and classic, and every now and then we need a shade like that. I never could be clear on the whole warm/cool thing, but I'd say you're warm.

    The name makes me think of Charlotte's character in SATC, I think Carrie calls her that way during an episode. The color would suit her terribly well, it is classic and elegant.
    I think it looks good on you too.

    I actually like Eternal Optimist with your skin. I would say your complexion would fall into the warm category. I am not the best typist either, but I can't blame my nails. I've never been good at typing no matter the length. ;)

    I think this looks pretty with your skintone Kae.
    It's a pretty nude shade.

    I think we all are in agreeance on this Kae - because I too think it looks lovely on you! It's nice to switch up with neutrals every once in a while, hence my obsession with the khakis and browns lately. You have such lovely nails!

    Okay, here's the real story. You are a "winter". Whether it's nail polish or clothes, no earth tones, no yellow-based colors, only blue-based colors. Jewel tones are your friend. Jewelry....white gold or silver are best(although I love my yellow gold--great with a tan. I know this from personal experience. Enjoy your blog!!

    Aww thanks, but really I look zombie-like with this on lol.

    Mary:
    I feel like I've been wearing nothing but sutble! I need to get some more funky brights. Yeah I'm confused too, I guess I never really notice how a color looks on my skin. I either like the color or not lol.

    Chocaddict:
    Oh man, whats SATC?!

    Paintedladyfingers:
    Thank you, so you think warm too? Haha yah I'm bad before nails too!

    Lucy:

    Nicole:
    Man, maybe the pictures didn't do the clashing any justice. Well clearly khakis and browns own :) Thank you

    Linda:

    Skye:
