Everyone loves a little bling-bling, and what's more classic than solid gold? I feel like gold is one of those colors that I sometimes get intimidated to wear. Maybe it's the bold statement or the fear of it clashing with the yellow undertones in my skin but this week I was totally feeling the warm look of Deborah Lippmann's Autumn In New York.
I don't know what it is, but lately I have just been all about the vamp. Fall has officially started so I needed a nail color to reflect just that. As the darkest shade in the Covergirl XL nail gel collection, Bodacious Berry just stood out to me as being just the gorgeous purple I was looking for.
Finally, after waiting months after first spotting this polish on the runway models at Badgley Mischka this past February, I got my hands on the fall release of Deborah Lippmann's nail colors including the gorgeous satin-finish Take The "A" Train.
Today's polish is one that I mentioned in my last favorites video, Covergirl XL Nail Gel in Whole Lotta Guava. This is one of those classic bright pinks that borders on a darker neon and is super flattering on any skintone. Obviously being in a favorites means it maaaay be a dead giveaway of a polish I enjoyed. Maybe.
Today I have another polish from one of my new favorite lines at the drugstore: Covergirl XL Nail Gel in Buxom Blue. I'm not even gonna lie, at this point you guys know I've been super impressed with the line and this gorgeous sky blue is no exception!
To mark the end of Summer I wanted to share a gorgeous summery yellow nail color that I've been in love with lately. It's another polish from the XL Nail Gel line (which I previously talked about here) and I was hoping it would be a great, happy color while being as long-lasting as my previous experience with the line. Let's check it out below!
To kick off another week I have another nail polish to share with you! As I was preparing to paint my nails, I asked you guys on Twitter (@frmheadtotoe) which polish I should use and the most frequently voted choice was OPI Don't Bossa Nova Me Around. Since I wanted a mini break from the summer brights I've been sporting lately, I decided to go for this work-appropriate, classy look.
Hey guys! Today I'm super excited to share with you a nail color that has been a big obsession of mine over the last week. There's something about lavender polish that I find really pops on the nails (like in my latest Lookbook) but melts into my skintone, and it's just a touch more saturated than spring pastels which is totally perfect for the current summer season. Presenting Covergirl XL Nail Gel in Plumped-Up Plum.
Was the wear as nice as the look? Let's check it out below!
You know how when you're craving a certain food, when you finally eat it it's so satisfying? I feel that way about NARS Night Out. It's been a good long while since I've worn a true blue on my nails and I was itching for the perfect bright cream blue that wasn't too navy or green. I've gotta say when this one came in the mail I was immediately smitten. Summertime sadness nails? Ohhh yes please!
Happy Manicure Monday and I hope you had an amazing 4th of July weekend! Today I have a new product from Ciaté to share with you guys: the SHELL manicure.
I don't know about you but I'm a big fan of anything iridescent like seashells so having crushed shells on my nails sounded mighty intriguing. Would it be sparkling? Would it be rough? Would it fall off in a day?
And now, introducing possibly my favorite glitter nail polish ever: Deborah Lippmann Stronger. Woweee, I only wish cameras had the capability to capture the amazing rainbow magic that is this nail polish! Stunning, reflective, eye-catching, and compliment-inducing. Mama likes!
Hey everyone! Today's Mani Monday is a lovely, minty green polish from the Deborah Lippmann Spring Reveries collection called Flowers In Her Hair. Can we just take a minute to appreciate the name of this polish? It just puts me in a nostalgic mood, just like seeing the baby green hue in this shade.
Do you have Maleficent fever yet? I, for one, am in shivers admiring Angelina Jolie's stunning and untouchable appearance in the movie. MAC's recent collaboration with Disney's Maleficent includes several Maleficent-inspired beauty products but Flaming Rose polish especially stood out to me.
Hey everyone and hope you had a nice Memorial Day weekend! Mani Monday is Mani Tuesday this week for those of you who are back in the office. Today's nail polish is a pink that definitely pulls in line with the pastel neon trend but comes from Butter London. I've previously tried their base and top coat but this was my first time trying their color products. Let's check out cute Kerfluffle below!
Happy Monday! Today's Manicure Monday is another from the OPI Brazil Collection but with a decidedly darker and more sophisticated twist. Amazon...Amazoff is a decadently teal-based green that is perfectly suited for those who want a pop of color that will go with everything.
Happy Monday Today I wanted to share a pastel yellow polish from Deborah Lippmann's Spring Reveries collection which is this buttery shade called Build Me Up Buttercup. With the ever-warming weather, this color reminds me of laying out on a sunny beach while sipping a lemonade.
Today's Mani Monday is another polish from the OPI Brazil collection which is absolutely perfect for warm, sunny weather or those dang lucky ones going on tropical Spring Break vacations. Live.Love.Carnaval is a really vibrant shade of hot watermelon which I somehow always find myself craving this time of year.
Hello everyone! Today's Manicure Monday is in the same vein of neon pastels that I mentioned in my Spring Trends post that I've been loving. Deborah Lippmann's Tiptoe Through The Tulips is a soft orange creamsicle shade that I knew I would love right away. Doesn't it remind you of those push-up pops some of us had as a kid? The sherbet pastel will be so perfect for the upcoming summer!
Today's Manicure Monday was chosen as a tribute to my recently (Sunday evening) departed betta, Tink, who had the loveliest red-and-translucent-white fin coloring.
I know that in traditional Eastern cultures red is the color of fortune & luck. Because I got Tink immediately after leaving my day job behind to take the huge leap of faith in following my own dreams, in many ways he is that "lucky charm" for me. He even made it cross-country to our move out to LA, faithfully swimming through the 26 hour drive. For being so much more than a fish and being with me every step of the way for years, this lucky red OPI Red Hot Rio Mani Monday's for you Tink! RIP little guy!
