OPI Windy City Pretty

 *I've finished replying to comments on my Talk It Out Tuesday post. Thanks for all your great responses!

I've been wearing so much glitter, shimmer, and dark colors lately that I've been craving something more simple. I found this OPI in a discount bin at Albertsons.This one is from the Chicago collection. Sure, it may not be a standout color, but I really like it. :)

Windy City Pretty

 Windy City Pretty is a dusty rose-mauve with a subtle pink shimmer.

I've heard this referred to as a "granny" shade. I know it kind of looks like that, but I really think this one is pretty. When I'm looking for something clean and simple I usually reach for the sheer pinks, but those can be a pain in the behind to work with.  I think this has a similar effect. It's neutral and subtle with that hint of color. Plus, it's easy to work with! It's a great go-to color that fits any season and occasion.

Happy Monday!

    I like this a lot! I'm a huge fan of the Chicago collection, there were really some great polishes in there. I can't help myself, I love rosy-mauve shades and own quite a few! I have seen this dusty hunting quite a few times, I might snatch one up next time I see it =)

    Now THIS is my kind of color! I remember my walls in my room use to be this color maybe a bit darker and my friend said it was a "granny color"    --I guess I love granny colors! (:

    I think I remember ALU saying that RBL Poco a Poco reminder her of Windy City Pretty... Indeed it does! Very feminine. Nice find! :)

    I dunno..there's just enough POP to it, to keep it from being a granny shade. I think it goes well with your skin tone too!

    I really like this color also; I love colors with that subtle shimmer. So pretty! I like to wear a subtle color like this sometimes to "cleanse the palate" if you will after all of the pretty bright colors. :)

    My favorite shade like this is China Glaze Fifth Avenue. That's like my go-to pedicure color. I feel like it's a great shade of pink for any time of year and doesn't clash too much with whatever goes on my fingernails :)
