Like an old lady

...correction ... the coolest old lady ever!  Sometimes I get pleasantly surprised on the metro.  Usually there is some jerk clipping his nails or doing something else really disgusting.  Recently, however, I saw this old lady (sorry old lady your sun damage gave you away) with a bangin' mani, which inspired me to have something similar. 

She was wearing something dark, not black, but so darn shiny that it blinded me from a far.  She was totally fierce!

OPI - Midnight in Moscow

In this lighting it looks black, but oh so hot.











Direct sun shows the burgundy tones within.
















Simply delicious.


Crisp and classic.  Good job old lady, I strive to be like you one day ... minus the wrinkles.






Look at this crap no one wants in Ulta.  Fail Fiona, Fail.  You are not that fierce.

    Ugg...I love this mani, I am totally loving dark, vampy colors right now.

    And I hope this comment makes sence, since Im sorta tipsy at the moment! Love you!

  17. LOL I was hoping to see a picture of the old lady! And it looks like from the promos the unwanted Fiercely Fiona polish is going to be recycled into the Nicki Minaj collection... just sayin'...

  18. The second to last photo (no, NOT Fiona!) is suuuper sexy. Awesome polish! And rock on to the cool old lady on the metro for kickin' out a vampy polish. She's still got 'it'!

  19. @~*~Amber~*~ - they sure did put her in her place though :P

    @EverythingsDiamond - I felt compelled to buy it based on the name, but good thing I absolutely LOVED the color too!

    @♥neelai♥ - Thank you!

    @Annie - People tolerate it's ugliness, I'm sure of it :P

    @Angie - LOL, I absolutely love drunk comments, please do more of this, it was awesome!! <3 I would give Fiona a break, IF, she was 90% off the clearance price, just saying.

    @rebecca - omg, I am so glad you could witness this. My joke has gone full circle, WIN! And yes ULTA is magical! :D

    @Frankenstyna - Like I just told Angie, 90% off the clearance price and she can have a coveted spot in my helmer.

    @hermetic - I totally looked her up and down for a full 10 min, I'm such a creeper :P

    @Annie - because she's ugly? lol, okay, she's not pretty in a traditional sense, but she needs her own category.

    @Fingers - LOL, this lady was probably 55, but looked about 65 from all the sun damage on her face. But, she's got my respect ... based on the mani! Oh and Fiercely Fiona by OPI lol, it's your kind of color. You need her.

    @The Nail Buff - OMG and she stains, f her in the face!

    @Solveig - lol, okay maybe one day she will grow on me and be ugexy <---LOL ugly + sexy

    @maisenzasmalto - I tried two yellows in my life. I hated myself for it.

    @Deborah - haha, you got that Biggie song in my head now! *To all the ladies in the place with style and grace ...* NICE!

    @Olivia - lol, I love your usage of 'fark', it's quickly becoming a favorite word of mine.

    @KJ Callaway - Had I not been in such a trance with her mani, damn it, next time, next time!

    @GothamPolish - holy shiz, I saw that. Freaking hilarious!!!

    @beauty-obsessed.com - :D thank you, I love that pick too!! She totes does, I love being pleasantly surprised!

  23. I know it's an old post but I must comment! I work in a grocery store and one of our regular customers is this amazing old lady who always wears this excat mani! Just today she came in again and I was thinking how classy she is. She once complemented my nails - I was in heaven.
