The kind of colour that’s approved by mothers, fashionistas, governments and The Village People alike. Ahoy there, sailor!

Because it’s three-thirty in the afternoon on a Wednesday after a public holiday, here is a picture of my favourite blue nail polish, Hello Darling 5-Free Nail Lacquer in In the Navy ($18.95AUD). I love it because – thanks to a brightened blue base – In the Navy always looks like a deep inky blue, never black. Hello Darling are a female-led Sydney start-up nail polish brand, whose products are vegan, animal testing-free, and formulated without toulene, formaldehyde or formalehyde resin, DBP or camphor.

P.S. I got double good karma points for the top I’m wearing in this picture. It’s from my favourite sustainable fashion brand People Tree, and I bought it second-hand from eBay for $1AUD. SUPER SCORE.
