I Love Matching My Nails to Cars

I think it started as a happy accident. I walked by a car that looked like the color I had on so I took a pic to share online. To be more descriptive in my post I researched the car’s color paint name. I learned that car colors have unique names just like nail polish (although they are typically more simplistic). This has helped cure my lack of car recognition. I know more about makes, models, and what year they came out. Just like with nail polish brands, collections, and when they debut. You see how love for one sparks interest in the other?? 🤝

Then I would walk by a car with a gorgeous color that would put me in the mood to change my nails (this still happens). So I would take a picture of that car to remind myself to change my mani.

Soon, I would take it as a challenge to see a car with a unique paint-finish, snap a pic, and try to go home and match it. It is still more fun to me when I spontaneously see a car the same shade and finish as my nails “in the wild,” but I also like assembling a collage like in the first pic.

Speaking of the first pic, the car may have a custom wrap. Matchinh polish options are – pointer to ring – Zoya Leslie (Spring 2015 Delight collection), Essie Tiers of Joy (Spring 2019 collection), and Sally Hansen Persis-tint (MegaStrength line).
