CQ - Vintage Gray

This looks very gray in the pictures, but is actually more of a "greige" creme in real life. Greiges and taupes really don't usually appeal to me that much, but I like this one because it does lean more toward a mouse-y gray in some lights. The first pic is closest to being color-accurate of any I took, although indoors the polish definitely takes on a more taupe/putty shade.

Here it is outdoors with flash:
And in shade, no flash, looking very gray:
It went on smoothly, but there was a little bit of minor bubbling on a few nails, which you can see in the pictures on my index finger; it was another scorching day here and I think the heat may have had something to do with the bubbling problem. Pics are three coats plus base and top coat.

Even with my nails being as short as they've been lately, I still somehow manged to break one of them yesterday, in such a way that I couldn't fix the break without it still being obvious and making all the nails on one hand look uneven. So - I took a nail-clipper to all ten of them and -chop! Off with their heads! My poor nails...they're almost as short now as they were when I used to bite them years ago. Good thing they grow back - in time!
