Twinsie Tuesday - Sweet Sixteen.... (Polish Picks from Back in the Day)

Good morning! Today's Twinsie Tuesday challenge is an interesting one - a polish that we would have worn at 16. From about 14-18 years old I had acrylics. I had longish, thick, slightly curved acrylics. I had them painted in all types of crazy airbrush designs and sometimes with freehand nail art. They were pretty popular back in my high school, so like most of the other girls I forked over $40 every other week for some stylish nails. Did anyone else have these? Does anyone remember these?

Circa 2000ish...

Sorry for the cruddy quality - it's one of those super cheesy cruise shots with part of my cousin's head and shoulder, but I think you get the idea here....

Fast forward a few years and I started to polish my own nails to save money. I would only wear "safe" colors. Blue, green and red were NOT options. Blue, green and red didn't come into my stash until about 3-4 years ago. Red was the very last color to make it into my "safe" and "comfortable" zone. I wore a ton of pinks, light purples and corals. For today's pic I decided to go with OPI I'm India Mood For Love, which would have been more than safe back in the day...


 
I'm really interested to see what everyone else picked for their go to polish shade/style in our teen years. Not only have my nails changes from acrylics to nubbins, but now I will also wear any color on my nails without giving it a second thought. As for everyone's picks from back in the day, I have a feeling we're going to see a lot of girly shades  :)
