Ladies..I have exciting news! :)


After getting so many responses asking what type of nail polish can be used to achieve that "matte black" look in my previous ***post (which was an inspiration photo I found on http://www.weheartit.com ) I went on a whim & went to my local Meijer to see what I could find. & right there in the Essie Collection section I saw Essie's Matte About You - mattifying top coat. I needed a new black polish so I decided to pick up CND's Black Jack #538. I've never used any of CND's polishes so I'm excited to try it out :)



***(here's the inspiration photo from my post)

I'm even more excited to try out this look! Unfortunately, I just got a manicure the other day..but I will be trying this look out myself very soon!! I tested the black polish & mattifyer on a fake nail & it looks fabulous just like the pic in my previous post! Hope this helped you girls if you were looking to give this a try :)

Nail Polish Haul!

With Summer being over & Fall moving in...I decided to pick up some new Fall polish colors. Of course, I couldn't pick JUST one...it's known, that I have an obsession with buying nail polishes & changing the color of my nails if not weekly, every few days. Lol smh...which is why I prefer to do my own nails :)  I also had to pick up another bottle my absolute favorite top coat Seche Vete. But here's everything I got (side note: the photos didn't come out as well as I hoped! & most are NOT true to color :( So below I tried my best to describe each color to what they actually look like):


left to right: Revlon - Facets of Fuchsia, OPI - Mrs. O'Leary's BBQ, MAC - Style Clan, Essie - Power Clutch, Essie - Dive Bar, Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat



I just now painted my nails using Facets of Fuchsia. & let me tell you, the photo def does not do this color justice! It's actually a black polish with specks of large & small pieces of fuchsia glitter. So pretty!! I already can tell I'm going to be using this color often :)


Mrs. O'Leary's BBQ a very deep red..it actually looks like BBQ sauce when I tested it at home haha. But I really love dark shades of red for the fall, so versatile & pretty for any outfit.


Style Clan is a funky color that immediately caught my eye! It's a khaki olive green color with copper glitter. I love that it's so unique & not an everyday shade you see all the time.


Power Clutch is a concrete grey color. I can't wait to paint my nails this color & off set it with tons of gold rings & gold jewelry. I know it sounds "mis-matchy" but I love being different & sometimes doing the opposite of what goes together ;) lol



Dive Bar is a very dark shimmery turquoise. In the light it changes from a dark blue to a teal green. Somewhat reminds me of peacock feathers. Lovely color!



What do you think of the shades I chose? What are some of your favorite nail polish colors to rock during the Fall?

Also, I wanted to thank everyone for visiting my blog & all the sweet comments! I appreciate each & every one <3 Writing for this blog is just a hobby of mine..so when I get such great responses it really brightens my day! So, THANK YOU! xoxo

Trend Alert: Denim Inspired Nail Polishes


The new Les Jeans De Chanel nail collection will debut on September 8 at Fashion’s Night Out events across the country & on chanel.com for a limited time until the end of the month. This trio of laquers is inspired by our favorite wardrobe staple: denim! Coco Blue is a sky blue shade, while Blue Boy has an inky hue. Blue Rebel reminds me of my fav pair of dark jeans. I absolutely LOVE all 3! The polishes will be pricey ($25 a pop) & will most likely sell out immediately. I def am going to try & get my hands on these when they are released!


On the other hand, if you too are loving this denim inspired nail trend, but don't want to splurge on just polishes..here are some budget saving alternatives that are just as hot!
