San Francisco is famous for foggy summer days, especially through July and August. It’s part of the city’s charm, not knowing what to expect from the weather, and why visitors to SF should always dress prepared. 🙂
Sometimes, though, when it’s warm almost everywhere else in America, SF’s overcast days get *really old*.
Up here in Marin County this morning, about 10 miles north of the city, I woke up to one of those foggy summer days.
I decided to brighten my outlook with brightly colored nails — a crazy mix of colors from the new Sally Hansen HD Hi-Definition Nail Color collection ($6 each).
Here are seven of the collection’s eight shades (click here to see the eighth color, Digital, a shimmery cool pink).
Hi Def
Cyber
Lite
Pixell Pretty
Three D
Hi Res
Blu
To make the vibrant, shimmery polishes in this collection, Sally says they used liquid crystals and pure pigments. The colors are supposed to be as clear and brilliant as high definition TV.
Looking at these colors, I can’t help but smile. The shades are like little bursts of bright color on my nails!
I think it’s time for a giveaway. 🙂
The prize
Five lucky ladies will win a set of Sally Hansen HD Hi-Definition Nail Colors with all eight polishes (a $50 value).

Taking a nap!
a hug from the boy…..especially if it was a long day
Chipotle definitely brightens my mood on a gloomy day!
That stuff is addictive!
A good dinner & relaxing night on the couch.
Listening to Indian (Desi songs), since I don’t get time to listen to the music!Maria
I love eating a chocolate cupcake! 🙂
A hot cup of milk tea always brightens me up!
what brightens my day is seeing my children smile…drinking a very cold Sunkist and bright pink lipgloss
.-= jennifer’s last blog post… Illamasqua FINALLY at Sephora =-.
Applying self-tanner and painting my toes a sparkly color tricks my mind into thinking it is bright and beautiful outside. My mood instantly improves!
what cheers me up on a gloomy day:
tea, horror movies, bubbles baths and card games : )
did you wear all these amazing colors at once? i love multi-colored nails, its so much more fun not to have to pick a color.
On a gloomy day, I like to wear a little brighter blush than usual. It makes me look more awake and alive.
Also, there’s nothing like a great cup of coffee and a piece of chocolate brownie. Here in New Zealand, we love our “flat whites”, they are kind of like a latte, but with more espresso, and only a wee bit of velvety steamed milk. Mmmm 🙂
On a gloomy day I cheer myself up by watching one of my favorite movies… Dirty Dancing… or one of my Bollywood fav’s Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge.
Sipping a mocha latte from Starbucks and giving myself a bright mani/pedi cheer me up. Though I have to admit, reading makeup reviews and planning my next haul is even better therapy.
Relaxing in the tub and cuddling my dog 🙂
P.S.: I hope this isn’t just for US residents…
.-= Flavia’s last blog post… Konad! =-.
Strangely, it is painting my nails a bright fun color!
Wearing some BRIGHT colour and super cute panties!
What cheers me up? People tripping… Just watching someone walking and, all of the sudden, trip (the best part is when they pretend nothing happened) brightens my day. Makes me feel shiny and new. Schadenfreude.

Hmm, things that brighten up my gloomy days are food and snuggling with my bf’s chubby kitty!
These colors are AMAZING!!!
I am SO over the fog. What brightens my day? Seeing pictures of my 1 yr old & 4 yr old nephews. I don’t get to see them as often as I would like so the pictures remind me how awesome they are.
There are so many things that cheer me up! I love a good coffee, bright flowers, and singing as loud as I can! I also LOVE to paint my nails and I’m in SF feeling the cold fun of summer which is NO FUN! Thanks for the giveaway!

I follow on twitter and I tweeted:
http://twitter.com/jennrach/status/2806071655
My mood is always brightened by lunch with a friend. Or, making chai while at work. 🙂
to brighten my day, I look out the window and find some sort of living thing (bird, squirrel, etc) to bring a smile to my face. always works 4 me.
On gloomy rainy days I wear bright yellow rain boots to cheer me up

.-= Trude’s last blog post… It’s Too Hot. =-.
Ooooh I like! For me, it’s definitely staying in with my best friend and watching cheesy movies or bad tv and eating ice cream.
Heh, I actually kinda like gloomy days. But if it puts me in a funk, I go for a run or curl up with my dog (she isn’t the curling up type, so she’ll sanp me out of a funk pretty quickly).
Love the HD colors! Already used the 3-D. Keeping cool inside with the a/c today.
Thanks
Lovely colors!
I’m one of those people that does actually get depressed in the winter, I live for the sun! My bf knows and he’ll make me a pina colada or a blue Hawaiian to make me think of summer and the sun…and he’ll watch a chick flick with me without complaining, which is always awesome lol.
If he’s not around, I read a good/funny book (by Jennifer Crusie!) to get away 😀
Chocolate or flowers perk up gloomy days for me. I have this violet growin on the windowsill in my office and it always brightens my day…and well chocolate is pretty much awesomeness in food form.
Listening to anything by 311 instantly lifts me up. I also enjoy making new Rachel Ray recipes.
I’m actually quite fond of overcast days. However, for the days when I am feeling gloomy (rain or shine), I like to have a cup of lemon honey tea (hot/cold), put on some Bow Wow Wow, and go read an old favourite book.
A cup of peppermint tea and my honey(bf) 🙂
.-= liis177’s last blog post… The Good, The Bad, and the UGLY!! =-.

Breyers strawberry premium ice cream, Godiva truffles, LUSH bath bombs and manis/pedis in sexy, standout colours. And reading Jane Austen or watching a really good rom-com.
Dudage.. the Pixell Pretty is just like the OPI polish I’ve been rocking.. only better and brighter. Btw, I have to ask.. how is the smell? I tried Sally’s HD top coat and the smell was so strong, I got an instant migraine. I love the colours but if it’s anything like the top coat.. ><
My little man (Felix), playing fetch with me instantly makes me happy.

.-= Zdubb’s last blog post… Don’t Call My Name. =-.
I’m 1,000 miles away from the people I love the most, and rainy days can bring out the loneliness. So, I like to call those people I love and let their voices make me feel better. Sometimes I make brownies too. Chocolate also helps one forget about dreary skies. 🙂
Fresh baked goodies (like Chocolate chip cookies or cupcakes), milk, a warm throw blanket, a chick flick, and a good friend or significant other. Perfect way to pick yourself up when the doom and gloom sets in.
Good music always cheers me up, lately it’s been the Hairspray movie soundtrack, or the Wicked soundtrack!! Or, of course, a good Golden Girls or Will & Grace rerun!!

i’m not sure if i qualify for this contest though… for most of the blog entries out there for the collection, they don’t allow for Canadian parcipitants =/, if not, thats quite alright : ) i’m hoping this line will be available in canada eventually?

I feel like I never win, but got to keep trying. Good food and watching one of my favorite TV shows (especially if it’s a new ep!) usually brightens me up. That and the pure unconditional love from the dogs. 🙂
Raspberry mini-pies! And bright coloured clothes!

My favorite thing for cheering me up is music. The more upbeat the better. It’s hard to feel bad when you’re dancing and singing.
Guitar Hero FTW! lol. Or chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream. Better yet, both!
On a rainy day i like to bundle the kids in rain gear, grab the umbrellas…and go outside for some SERIOUS splashing! I love to hear my girls giggle & laugh at wet mess we make of ourselves.

Going to the beach, BBQing (Veggie hotdogs!) with friends, camping, smores by the fire, martinis! Getting completely beautified
What gets me cheery on a gloomy day is making cakes and bread rolls from scratch. It always takes my mind off of bad things! 🙂
