Purple With A Purpose

The other day I went to Dunkin' Donuts and saw a little poster at the cashier with a headline "Purple With A Purpose". September 21, which is today, is World Alzheimer's Day. Color for it? Purple. I was immediately ready to take off that sheer nail polish from my finger tips.

I didn't want to wear Lincoln Park After Dark because I've worn it recently and I wanted it to be a more obvious purple. I didn't want to wear Done Out In Deco & Parlez Vou OPI because I'm saving them for this weekend. Then I only had one option left.

 Loreal - Base Coat
Rimmel London Lasting Finish PRO - 350 Violet Metal (2 coats)
Revlon - Quick Dry Top Coat

Out of all the purples, this one is most vibrant and out there purple although it does have blue shimmers going on. It is a pretty color but not my favorite on myself. It makes my hands look red under certain lighting. Most of all, I don't have any outfit that looks good with it. I think yellow top would look super cute with this color... except I realized I don't have any last night.


Funny thing about nail polishes is that I can remember when, where, and why I got them. My sister and I were learning Chinese from this lady we knew. On the way back from our first lesson, I wanted to check out their CVS. It was about an hour away from our town and I was curious if there would be anything I haven't seen before. It was my first day seeing Rimmerl - Lasting Finshinsh PRO line and I was absolutely sold by their packaging.


The brush on this thing is wide as if not wider than O.P.I.'s. Their color selections are great too. Since this day, this remains as one of my favorite drugstore nail polish line.
