‘Sand Castle’ ORLY Nail Lacquer on my Nails

I’m still working with the nude-ish tone when it comes to nail polishes. I had considered sporting a darker one but finally deciding on this soft brown-sorta-pink-ish hue from ORLY Nail Lacquer called Sand Castle (Shimmer).

The last nail polish I had on didn’t really last that long since I’ve been “roughing it” during the trip. Hey, I carried around 17kgs worth of luggage down a flight of narrow stairs and such. Ha. And I have to admit, I wasn’t particularly mindful of my nails then, didn’t care if they got chipped or snagged. I reckon the *tomboy* in me came out a bit. Just a bit, okay! Defensive much? Ack. LOL.

Anyway, I love shimmers in my nail polish. I like them shiny. I really can’t explain why but, for now, let’s just say that it’s personal preference.

I’m noticing that I’ve been opting for a lot of ORLY Nail Lacquers whenever I visit the salon to get my nails done. I reckon I can’t help it if they seem to have a very interesting and wide collection of colours I can choose from. And these nail lacquers seem to last longer than most of the previous nail polishes I’ve tried.
