Chocolate Milk & Poo Colors?!?

 ***Today is the last day to enter my giveaway!***

No worries this post is purely nail polish you will not see any poo! I have been lucky lately to find some of the Color Club collections at Ross. I was originally going to do the different collections in a single post, but 2 colors stood out to me too much from the Rebel Debutante collection that I figured they needed a post on their own.

Title of my blog aside, for the most part I really enjoy these little Color Club collections at Ross. They usually come with 6-7 polishes for a price of $7.99. That's a great deal in my book and totally worth it to have an assortment of colors.

On to the chocolate milk and poo! It's hard for me not to relate some sort of experience, story, memory, object, or etc to a nail polish color. I'm sure many of us are the same certain colors remind of us flowers or color of paint we used to love as a kid. That's just how my brain is wired when I see a nail polish color the first thing I think about is what the color reminds me of. Unfortunately, not all nail polish colors can remind me of pleasant things.

Some examples....


Color Club Charity Ball
Maturity aside, I have to say Charity Ball isn't the most appetizing color. It reminds me of poo. I'm some people will love this color and see it as a reddish-brown.....something? This just isn't my cup of tea. I don't understand how the name Charity Ball relates to it either. This color doesn't make me think of a ball at all. When I think of a ball I have to say I have to think of Cinderella..thanks Disney! I don't think Cinderella would be wearing a color like this unless her evil stepsisters slipped some laxatives in her punch. I understand this is the "Rebel" Debutante collection, but I think a black or deep color other than poo brown would of been more suitable.


Color Club Best Dressed List
Ok, this color isn't awful. I'm probably being a bit too harsh on this one. It's actually a nice nude, but more on the brown side. I prefer my nudes more pink. This color looks just like chocolate milk to me. I have no issues with chocolate milk. Chocolate milk is quite delicious it's just I don't know how I feel about chocolate milk on my nails. If it was a rich chocolate brown shimmer color I'd be game, but the pale brown-nude creme....meh. Also, again with the naming of this "Best Dressed List" I don't follow fashion much, but I don't recall many people on best dressed lists wearing chocolate milk brown. Please, correct me if I'm wrong. I tend to be clueless about these things :P.

I don't think these colors are awful or no one should wear them. I think it's just what they remind me of that makes it unappealing to me. I'm sure these colors would look lovely on some people, but I can't get past what I relate them too!


How do you feel about Poo and Chocolate Milk..-cough- I mean Charity Ball & Best Dressed List?

Happy Sunday!
