Fall Nail Polish Picks {2014}

Fall is almost here and I am so excited !!  I just love this time of year so much.  So, I thought I would share my top nail polish picks with you guys.  These ten polishes look great during the fall season. 

• YSL Beige Gallery - A beautiful nude shade that gives the look of mannequin hands.
• Zoya Kendal - A lovely muted lavender shade that looks great throughout the year but especially nice in the fall
• Formula X Uber - We all know I love a good red nail and this one has a hint of orange in it. 
• Chanel Coup de Couer - This maroon shade reminds me of the pretty fall leaves
• Zoya Paris - Such a nice vampy shade and totally reminds me of The Hills when LC would wear a nice dark nail.  

• Nars Crossroads - This a beautiful dark creamy plum shade.
• Chanel Magic - This shade is deep royal blue shade that is almost navy and makes your nails look ultra sleek. 
• Dior Junon - I love this shade so much!  This is a great summer to fall transition shade!
• Butter London Bossy Boots - A lovely muted green shade that reminds me a bit of pistachios.
• Nails Inc Bruton Mews - I have a feeling this is going to be on my nails all fall long.  Such an amazing deep green shade that reminds me of a Christmas tree.

Dior Vernis Gel Shine & Long Wear Nail Lacquer {Wonderland & Bonheur}

Dior has released a new formula of nail polish, Gel Shine & Long Wear Lacquer.  There is a variety of shades, some new and some old.  This formula is supposed to provide a glass like shine with extended wear.  The brush is also a but smaller then the original polish brush.  I tested these for about a week or so and I was pretty impressed.  I have had a gel manicure from the salon and to be honest after a week my nails were chipping.  But, these polishes hardly chipped and I had them on for about 7 days.  For an at home manicure I was so excited.  I used two coats plus a base coat and top coat.  These are so opaque that you could get away with one coat but, I personally like two.  Over all I am pretty happy with the formula and shades.  I totally want to pick more up. 

   

Have you tried any of the Dior nail polishes ??

Spring Nail Picks !

Spring is upon us and I thought I'd share my spring nail picks with you guys!  I love a great pastel nail during this time of year so I picked my favorite and prettiest pastels I own.  

First up is Tom Ford Sugar Dune.  This came out in his spring collection and is easily my favorite nude.  It is so gorge!  Next is Dior Bouquet which is a beautiful coral.  My favoritest (oh yes I know not a word) is YSL Rose Scabiosa.  It is a beautiful rosy purple color and looks great on the fingers or toes.  Jo-Mina is such an amazing purple shade that is like bam in your face.  My most recent pick up is Blue Orchid from Deborah Lippmann.  She just came out with new spring shades and this light blue was calling my name.  And lastly is this mint green from Butter London.  I like to apply two coats and if necessary a third.  These all last at least three or four days with minimal chipping.

Chanel Nuit Magique Le Vernis in Magic !

Back in December Chanel released the Nuit Magique Collection.  It included two nail polishes, Magic and Cosmic.  I unfortunately was only able to get my hands on Magic.  But you can see swatches on Temptalia or The Beauty Look Book.  Magic is the gorgeous blue shade that is lighter then a navy blue and more like a midnight sky.  It only takes about two coats to be opaque and lasts a few days or so, just like any Chanel nail polish.  I love a nice dark blue shade and this a bit different then anything I have in my collection.  The only one that comes close is Chanel Blue Rebel.  It came out a few years ago during Fashion's Night Out.  But still Blue Rebel is a bit lighter and has more of a gray base then a white one.

Oh Hey Fall ! {Nail Edition}

So fall is just around the corner!  In New York though it seems like we will never get there.  I have been drenched in sweat for the past week and I am not a happy camper!  I miss my 75 degree weather! Baby come back... anyone else love those Swiffer commercials?  Anyway, as I was saying fall is a coming and I love it!  I love fall fashion; sweaters, scarves, dark nails, and the smell of cinnamon and pumpkin.  I wanted to start a Fall series that included fashion, nails, makeup, and maybe some apple or pumpkin picking!  So today we start with the nails.  All my friends know I have a mini salon in my room.  You have a color in mind and I probably have it.  So I weeded through my collection and picked ten great colors for this fall.

Zoya Paris - Essie Carry On - Chanel Taboo - Essie No More Film - Revlon Midnight 

Chanel Blue Rebel - Dior Blue Label - Butter London Bossy Boots - Zoya Envy - Revlon Stiletto

I used 2 coats of each polish.  Most were opaque in one.  I just absolutely love these colors.  It is funny because I love to wear color in my clothes, but I love my dark nails!

What are your favorite polishes for the fall?
