While perusing decorating blogs (my other obsession), I came across a color palette that I really liked. The room used khaki and a purple-leaning taupe, coupled with bright and dark berry pieces. It had a wintery feel to it which is appropriate since it’s been frosty here in the midwest the last few days. Of course, we polish addicts equate color to polishes. And so, this gradient mani was born; composed of Essie Jazz (khaki), OPI You Don’t Know Jacques (taupe), Barry M Bright Purple (bright berry) and Sally Hansen Salon Manicure Pat on the Black (dark berry).
