As you see, my nails are shorties right now. I think I mentioned the unfortunate incident when I snapped off the tip of my right pinky, and I just don't have the patience to deal with a fake nail or tip so shortened the rest of my nails to blend in with the nubbin.
I was sure I would find a dupe to this in my stash, given that purple is my favorite color so of course I have even more excess in that hue than most. (Now seems as good a time as any to say that in my head, Forget Me Not should be a blue color, like the flower.) When I held my polished fingers up to various of my purple creme nail wheels, though, I couldn't find an exact match. The ones that looked closest were Joe Fresh Fig, OPI Parlez Vous OPI, and Butter London Scoundrel.
On the nail, they weren't that close. Forget Me Not is considerably less dusty than Fig and Parlez Vous, darker than Scoundrel, and redder than all of them.
When none of these three matched, I took a quick look at the redder purple cremes on my wheels, but those all seemed to be much warmer than Forget Me Not. I still can't believe I don't have a dupe—maybe it's lurking in my untrieds.
On another topic, you may have noticed that my photos have a watermark for the first time. I decided it was time to start doing this earlier today when I found a couple of eBay listings (from two different sellers) using my photos without permission. I understand eBay is more likely to pull the listing if there's a watermark, so watermarks it is. I hate that it's come to this, since doing that takes away time from doing other things, but I want to be well armed when I go into battle against the ignorant (if I'm feeling charitable) and unethical (if I'm not). You'll probably see several changes to the look of the watermark over the coming weeks as I learn more about how to manipulate the image to add them.
