I love red nail varnish.  Why not wear it every day?
It chips. It does not go with orange nor pink. It probably does no good to your nails.

Co-ordinating Colours Of Clothes & Nail Varnish

Regarding co-ordinating, I used to take a lot of travel weekends away. I had a small suitcase and stuck to a simple colour scheme of red, black and white.

Then I got tired of constant red clothes. My colleagues complained that I was always wearing red. I switched to oranges and pinks. But that meant my orange varnish clashed.

Advantages of White Nail Varnish


For practicality, I started wearing white nail varnish. White went with everything, red outfits, pink, orange. No clash.

Recently I admired a friend's colour scheme of turquoise and silver. She wore silver nail varrnish. Like my white, it went with everything. But also with silver jewellery.

I looked in local shops and supermarkets and pharmacies for silver nail polish. No luck.

So I went online.

My varnish bottle, the cheapest available, seemed rather small. But spread evenly. A good finish on my nails.

I also used it to cover the black revealed when the thin silver coating on a bath plug had scratched off


I only used one coat of varnish. So a couple of days later it had started chipping off. However, one layer of varnish was quick to remove. To go without, or replace.

Pearl brooches on hat paired with M & S sweater with pearls. Dress Post 686 by Angela Lansbury

    Sweater embroidered with mock pearls matches my hat pinned with mock pearl brooches.  I had never worn this pale grey sweater  I thought pale grey was a boring colour and always opted for something brighter such as royal blue or bight red. However, as I re-folded warm winter tops to fit them into my crammed dresser unit shelves, this fell out. Was the universe sending me a message?  I thought, I don't remember ever wearing it.  I must wear it once. Just for a change.  Snow is falling outside in London. Now is its hour. I looked  at the decoration. Sequins! I had been searching for sequins to wear at New Year. This thick sweater would not match my red solid sequin evening skirt. However, it would match my knitted hat, which bore brooches with mock pearls. The Grey Marl Sweater M & S Collection. Size 14. a mixture of four fabrics, cotton.  As I had anticipated, the garment had pinned inside some spare sequins and pearls and rhinestones....

Stripey Red & White Socks, thigh high, and tights - outfit 679 by Angela Lansbury

Image
  I bought a pair of knee high red and white stripe socks in St Luke's charity shop. At one pound or under, you can't lose much. (Their charity fundraising shops are in NW London in Hatch End, Harrow Weald and elsewhere.) Why did I buy the long socks, in hard to match, garish, childish, stripes - after hesitation and consideration? The Advantages Of Long Socks The  length was attractive, at this time of year. I often need long socks under a midi skirt. For warmth in winter. And not to show bit of bare legs above socks. To co-ordinate colours. Advantages and Disadvantages of Red and White Stripes I like red. It's fun. White can show dirt quickly.  Red and white is a bit restrictive. It will clash with patterns, only go with plain reds and whites. But under a table at dinner or on Zoom nobody else will notice. Nor will I. I will only feel them. If the socks are too tight, you might feel uncomfortable. At night, when you take them off, you might see red indentation lines acr...
