Normally I never wear nudes/neutrals, but when I recently won a bunch of lovely Priti Nyc polishes from the sweet Elena on
Pictured Tinsel, these two were among them, and guess what, I'm almost convinced I can wear these but I will let you be the judge:
Can I wear these neutral shades - be honest...?
Priti Nyc Fairys Petticoat is a true nude with a light rose hue and a shy silver shimmer. As a test I layered it over white on my ring finger (with very pronounced ridges) - but the difference is very subtle, and I liked it best on the other nails.
The formula is perfect and so is the dry time - I really love Priti Nyc polishes!
Priti Nyc Silver Torch contains all the colors I do not like on my own nails, but find very elegant on others - yet, I liked them in this combo: grey, sand and beige - and what really lifts this color is the subtle silver shimmer.
Again a flawless formula and super dry time - here shown without a top coat.
So closing rapidly in on 60 years of age, should I act my age and start wearing nudes and granny colors???
- nah, I don't really see that happen, but I might consider wearing neutrals from time to time, if I feel like it - but what is your final verdict:
Can I wear these two neutrals do you think...?
And a final question (that I am going to ask more times, because I really would like to know): Do you know any nail bloggers that are 60+???
I know a handful in their early/mid fifties, but am I the oldest...?
Love the colors!
SvarSletI'm happy to hear it!
SletI love this kind of shades. So i think age is not important.
SvarSletYou should wear what colour you want. I don't know anyone who 60+. Also I'm so glad that know you :)
Thanks a lot Irmak, what a sweet thing to say <3
Sletbeautiful colour :)
SvarSletI'm glad you like them!
SletMaria, these colors do NOT look granny-like at all. Especially Fairy's Petticoat looks gorgeous on you.
SvarSletKind regards,
Elena
I know, it's all in my head hahaha - and yes, it is a very pretty polish!!
SletMaria, you wear these colours perfectly and they compliment your skin tone. They don't make you look older. The important thing is that they don't make you *feel* older.
SvarSletI am curious about 60+ nail bloggers, too. Maybe some people who are actually 60+ do not want to publish their age. Your age does *not* show on your hands or on your nail art anyway.
Yours truly is 49 - this is not hard to guess from my blog, because I published some not-nail-related miscellaneous articles (music from when I was young and the like) for a couple of challenges. I must be (one of) the oldest French-speaking nail bloggers. And I wish nail stuff were not related to any form of ageism.
Love :-*
Thank you so much Julie, and I know, it is how we feel inside :) But sometimes when the body aches so badly, it is not always easy to accept..
SletAs for your last thoughts, well I will keep painting my nails as long as I still feel like it and can do it, so I thinks as long as we love blogging we should - at least I will :)
I don't wear nudes either, I like kapow on my nails, as you know.
SvarSletThese don't look too bad on you, really - I do prefer the first one though. The other one is ... not as good :)
I sure know LOL
SletBut I agree, I think I can wear both of them - one better than the other :)
I think both look good on you. I like Silver Torch better as a colour, but I think Fairy's Petticoat suits you better.
SvarSletThanks a lot - and I agree, but personally I'm going through a phase right know where I fall for colors like Silver Torch, it's a bit strange :)
SletI personally don't wear a lot of nudes, just cause they are too boring lol. I just love bright, cheerful colors. I'm that way with clothes too. As for these two nudes, there's nothing wrong with them (they look really lovely on you), but I don't think you should wear them unless you really want to. ;)
SvarSlet~ Yun
That's why I wear them either - and you are so right, fortunately there isn't a law saying: When you are 60 you cannot wear bold colors any more hahaha
SletI think that Fairys Petticoat looks good on you; about Silver Torch I'm not so sure, but it's not the matter of age, but of the skin type and colour. No, I don't know any blogger +60, but don't worry, I have the feeling that there will be many many +50 +60 bloggers nail-polish-holics in the future... And they will wear all colours of the world! :-)
SvarSletLOL you are so right, it's a skin color thing to me too.
SletI hope so too, but it could be fun to know if I maybe am the oldest at the moment LOL
I think silver torch looks great... I actually prefer that one but like them both
SvarSletI'm glad you like them - they both are very elegant :)
SletWhen i first saw Fairy's Pettycoat, I thought this must be it, I don't think that Silver Torch can compete. But then I scrolled down and it looked just as pretty! While I totally share your love for vibrant colours, awearing a nude from time to time can be refreshing, so go for it!
SvarSletAs for those numbers: you're the best, no matter the age!
That sounds like a very sound piece of advice - and thank you so much for the kind words :)
SletThese look so good against your skin tone!! Lucky lady!
SvarSletI'm so happy that you think so :)
SletI think there's no color you can't wear (or any other person). It's all up to you, you should like the color and feel comfortable "in" it :)
SvarSletThat is wise words, Irina, I think you are right, if we do not feel comfortable in it, it doesn't truly matter if others think so, only a little bit LOL
SletFairys Petticoat is sooo cute and I really love how it looks on your nails!
SvarSletTo be honest, IMHO, I don't like the colour of Silver Torch (I would hate it on my nails, I guess) and it is a bit... boring on yours! :)
I don't know the ages of bloggers I follow XD
I am "young" (I am 24) but I think the age is just a number, isn't it?
OHMG I thought you were older - you seem to be so wise and mature LOL
SletI agree with you and the cat Garfield, quote: Age is just a state of mind with a healthy dose of denial...
ROFL XD
SletI love both of these! They are gorgeous neutrals!
SvarSletThey are pretty, even I think so LOL
SletAge is just a number! (and nail polish is just nail polish after all!) While I personally love a great neutral (and yes I think you can pull them off), I don't think anyone should feel obligated to wear something bc of age. I know of a few of bloggers that are older 50-60 yrs) but they are not np/make-up, more lifestyle & family bloggers. I find you to be one of the kindest and devoted bloggers out there and I don't care if you're 16, 60, or 100! :)
SvarSletI'm pleased that you think I can wear them - but of course we should wear certain colors if we do not feel like it - I agree!
SletI know there are older bloggers than me in other types, but I really would love to know other my age, and just for the fun of it - if I am the oldest nail polish blogger around...
I pressed send to soon - thank you for those fantastic sweet words, they warm my heart so much Karen :)
SletThey look beautiful on you!
SvarSletThanks a lot :)
SletThese are lovely! They look fantastic on you, Maria!
SvarSletI'm happy you think so :)
