Colourful For Spring: Navy and Emerald

Considering  that it is Spring, even I wanted to incorporate some colour in my look. And by colour I mean navy and emerald, not pink and orange.

I did not buy a new nail polish in ages, somehow I couldn’t find the shade that would stand out to me.

I love my  blue nail polishes and somehow didn’t have such shade in my collection, so I am very happy to have it now.

Have been wearing it on my nails for the last week, so expect the nails of the day soon.
