Sinful Colors Mercury Rising....It's too darn hot!

I don't think words can describe how much I loathe the summer heat. I grew up in Dallas,Texas where it was hot and now I live in Florida where it is not only hot, but it is humid. I don't care how long you've lived in a place that gets hot you just don't ever get used to it! 90 (34c) degree weather with 80% humidity is fair from comfortable. It's always nice to walk outside your house and within minutes you're drenched in sweat... :( You ever get asked would you rather be hot or cold? I always say cold! You can at least layer up if it's cold, but if it's hot taking off layers doesn't help!

Anyways, speaking of the heat here is Sinful Colors Mercury Rising!
 Mercury Rising is a burgundy/maroon shimmer. I used to dismiss colors like this until I was introduced to China Glaze Branding Iron. I absolutely love these red-brown shades now. I've always loved rich deep colors, but never felt like I could pull it off on my nails, but again I was wrong :P. I actually think shades like these are pretty universally flattering. This a great color on your nails, but these are some of my favorite types of colors for my toes in fall and winter.

That's all for today. I am going to spend the day in my comfortably cool apartment that is currently blasting the air conditioning. I must admit in the summer I do love air conditioning more than nail polish *hides*! I think I would literally melt with out it. I can't wait until October when it finally gets somewhat cooler here! Maybe I should move to the Southern Hemisphere during my summer months.

So let me ask you that question... :P

Would you rather be hot or cold? Why?

Happy Thursday!
