The next time you're at your local beauty supply, take a look around for the nail polish brand Ruby Kisses by Kiss Cosmetics. Made for women of color, this line offers deeply pigmented, gorgeous colors for about $1.50 a bottle.
I picked up a bottle of "Baby Blue" a few weeks ago for $1 and MAN is it pretty. In the bottle it appears to be a gorgeous turquoise blue with tons of blue micro glitter. But when applied, it's quite sheer and you end up with only a slight tint of blue plus the blue micro glitter. When I did a burgundy pedicure a few days ago, I layered it with Baby Blue and WOW, it brought my boring burgundy to a whole other level. It enhanced the base color because of the blue sparkles, but because the glitter is so fine, I wasn't left with "WOW, LOOK AT ME" toes. The result was a really pretty, slightly blueish, subtle shimmer that really makes my burgundy nails pop.
If you can't find Ruby Kisses at your local beauty supply, you can always check out the online beauty supply store at the link above. Also there are some sellers on ebay who sell it for about $2.50 a bottle, which is still a good deal considering how well these polishes wear and the selection of interesting, original colors.
