mixed

I tried to mix my nail polish (I know... back with this again) to make a better shade of yellow. I thought maybe a lighter shade would work better. it didn't. it looked really funny, actually. BUT, I think it was the flat color - it had no shimmer, and something that light needs some shimmer. it was a little grey looking (I mixed it with silver) so I made it a little more orange and finally after dumping all sorts of stuff together I got a color I can live with. it reminds me of a banana moon pie, or lemon taffy... which both were options I was considering naming it, but I think I'll go with "this day is bananas" since that's all I could sing to myself while painting my toes the final shade :)
