Oh, and.
Have I mentioned my nail polish problem? For some time now I've had the desire to paint my nails a deep brown with a tiny bit of red, similar to Chanel's "Vamp" (or rather, what used to be Vamp, apparently they've made Vamp a different color and the color that used to be Vamp is now called something else. Because that's not confusing or anything.) Point is, finding a color like that here is impossible.
Nail polish in England comes in three categories: Red, Pink, and Purple. Oh sure, some companies do various blue shades, but in essence, if you don't want red, pink, or purple, you're out of luck.
I have in recent weeks bought four new bottles of polish, all of which looked like what I wanted, all of which when used proved to be either purplish or too red.
Two days ago I was hunting for something on the top shelf of my closet and found a bottle of American nail polish. In the exact shade I've been looking for.
Hee hee! Soon it will be manicure time again (they're currently silvery champagne colored) and I will have my gorgeous brown with a faint hint of red.
US polish for the win!
