Last night
I attended a Paint Party, I wasn’t able to go to dayglow and this wasn’t 50
dollars, so it was a win in my books. It was extremely fun and worth the
casualties I suffered. These casualties include, a pair of old tennis shoes,
sequin spandex, a bruised knee, and, to my horror, my nails. While my 40 minute
shower and Foam party I crashed after cleaned off almost all of the paint from
my body and hair (I did find some paint in my ear this morning, but to be
expected) it did not help my nails. Paint tends to stay on nails, and
unfortunately it wasn’t a cool splatter effect but rather globs of yellow on my
pink nails (ewh). So this morning as I was leaving, I grabbed some nail polish
remover and a bottle out of my nail polish drawer.
I grabbed
Gargantuan Green Grape. It’s a light green color with yellow undertones, so not
super minty. It is perfect for this nice sunny weather, and I’ll admit I was
feeling a little colorless this morning. My only problem with this color is it
needs 4 coats, which is a little excessive. But other then that it really does
remind me of big, juicy, green grapes. Italy is the number one producer of grapes,
with the US coming in third behind China. Now, I was born in the beautiful Napa
Valley, California, which is wine country and covered in vineyards. So it might
just be me who loves grapes and everything to do with them. I grew up next to
vineyards, which is where grapes are grown, mainly for vine making. The Roman
Empire invented the techniques for grape growing that we use today, though
cultivation of grapes started much earlier then that.
So while I
was sad to see my nails destroyed, I love the new color on my nails, and its
connection to my birthplace. Whether or not you’ve been to Napa Valley or even
a vineyard hopefully you can still enjoy some grapes with this new nail polish
shade!
