Remember the first time I posted about a Ricki's lacquer? Well, that one was awesome, and I have another one to share with you today. This one is a fairly nice grey creme; in the bottle it looked far more like a dusty green, but on the nail it is a definite grey, with just a faint green tinge to it.
I found this lone bottle in a basket with a bunch of other Ricki's colours. It was clearly the unloved lacquer of the bunch, the "ugly duckling"... it was even marked down to $1.99.
When I saw it I couldn't make up my mind about it. I felt a little bad, and thought it deserved some attention amongst all the neons and pinks it was in with. Then I saw the name: "Sake". Never mind that I've never seen sake that was even remotely this colour (and if I did, I don't think I would be tempted to drink it). But the fact that someone cared enough to give it a real name, instead of something like "medium grey", sold me on it. I'll love you, little unwanted discount polish. I'll love you.
Aww I'm glad you gave this lonely polish a home! It definitely deserves to be worn since it actually has a name! I'm loving all grays so this is a really nice one! :D
ReplyDeleteThanks- I couldn't just toss it back into the discount bin after seeing that it had a name (and a half way decent one at that, if you ignore the fact that it's not precisely accurate).
DeleteSo pretty! And your story about the little lone polish with a real name is so sweet! <3

Deletethis post is so cute, really lovely grey!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jacqueline!
DeleteI like Sake! :) i like this kind of shades.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lydz- I like grey tones, too.
DeleteIt can be dangerous rescue-ing reject polish, isn't it? I almost bought a bunch the other day in a sale bin... but it is great when you find a good one!
ReplyDeleteIt certainly is- I don't think I needed another grey polish, but how could I just leave it there? ;)
DeleteIt's very, LOL grey - it would look terrible on me, but you can use those colors.
ReplyDeleteCouldn't sake be something is - like for God's sake - Ricki's sake...?
OH! I hadn't thought of it that way. You might be right! I was totally thinking of Sake the drink. Huh. You might be onto something. ;)
DeleteThis looks exactly like American Apparel Echo Park, which is my favorite grey creme. So this is great!
ReplyDeleteGlad you like it! :)
DeleteAwww this post is adorable, I love have you rescued the little nail polish orphan =) Such a good grey too!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Glad you liked my little story about the unwanted lacquer. ;)
