You can't stop the red!! OPI Dear Santa

So UMD Red Week is coming to an end today... but I can't stay stay away from reds!  You guys know I'm a pink polish ADDICT.  Babbling Brooke and Pink Polish go together like peanut butter and jelly (a delectable combo!).  But all of these reds lately have me going gaga for red polish.

I've always been kind of weird about red polish.  It felt too sexy or too vampy or just too... 'not me' for me to wear.  Yet going through all of these reds this past week has me kind of red obsessed.  Who would have ever thought?  I've realized that some reds are just NOT for me, like this one:

OPI Dear Santa 

While this is a gorgeous bright, glittery red, it just doesn't work for white-as-a-ghost me.  The undertones are too yellow (as opposed to the blue tones that look so good on me) and the orange glitter just fights with my skin tone.  The formula was also thick and kind of a PITA to work with.  This one does look A LOT like China Glaze Ruby Pumps (which I love), but it has orange glitter - which I don't adore, but I can see this looking awesome on darker skin tones.

While this shade isn't for me, I've discovered that reds like ALL six from the past six days go great with my skin tone.  This has been a great exercise for me to learn what red shades work for me.  Plus, it's always so fun trying new polishes :)

I'm off to take care of my horse; she injured her leg yesterday rolling too close to a fence.  I'm really hoping it won't require a vet visit...  I got in a great ride before she injured herself.  I hope she isn't hurting :(

I hope everyone had a great weekend!  It is always so sad seeing the weekend draw to an end - but at least next weekend is extra long, so we all have something to look forward to.  Have a great Sunday!
