Bored with Bordeaux

Here's the deal...I've been wearing the same polish on my toes for the past 2-3 years, (yes, I'm a creature of habit). The color of choice has been Bordeaux by Essie.

I like this shade because I love how red looks on my toes (goes great with my skin color) and its just the right shade, not too bright. But lately I've been in search of a change (and not only my polish color, but that's another story...) and the matte polishes have been catching my eye! Especially the Zoya Matte Velvet Fall '09 collection. There are only three colors in the collection.

Dovima - matte black shimmer

Loredana - matte gunmetal gray with shimmer

Posh - matte wine shimmer

I absolutely love the look of Posh, so I'm gonna switch it up for Fall and replace my beloved Bordeaux with Posh and see if I can work with it. I don't usually wear polish on my fingernails but I'm thinking about rockin' Dovima on my hands. I used to wear a lot of different nail polish colors when I wore tips but not so much since I went natural because the polish chips too fast.

I've read mixed reviews about matte polishes but I'm willing to try them out. I really like the matte look so I might be willing to bother with the maintenance (we'll see). Click here to actually see the polish on someone's hands.
