Blue Monday: Color Club Take Me to Your Chateau

 Another Monday, another blue polish for Mrs Data.

Last week, I had a few nail accidents and not even my tea bags could save them, so I ended up filing them all down. Major sadface at that, for real.

I probably shouldn’t show my nails here until they’ve grown out a bit more, but, well, I have too many polishes to resist anyway. Okay, so my nails are ubershort. I can still paint them, and I still will. If it’s not your cuppa tea, that’s cool, I understand. We can’t all like the same things!

All that aside, this week I decided to go for another nail art-y manicure. I bought a new nail marker recently and I wanted to see if it was worth it. It worked super well for the first, oh, three minutes, but then it started being a pain in the arse. Poop. I didn’t give up, though, so my nails are sporting quite a lot of polka dots today. As much as I love polka dots, my favourite thing about this mani is actually the angry little reptilian dude on my left thumb nail. How cute is he?

As for the blue this Blue Monday, it’s called Take Me to Your Chateau (long unwieldy name, hello!) and a Color Club polish. Baby blue creme that covers in two coats (on most nails. Some needed three). For such a pastelly colour, the coverage is actually pretty fantastic. Usually, this kind of blue is so not My Thing, but for this one I’m willing to make an exception. I love it! And I actually don’t think it looks half bad on my little stubbies.
