My Favorite Fall Mani

When it comes to nails, three factors typically make up my perfect mani combination:

short nails + dark polish + glitter accent

My current favorite fall mani is no exception.

Base coat: chocolate brown (Old) (similar from Essie, here)

Glitter coat: Warm and Fozzie by OPI (old, but can still buy here!)

I know brown isn't a favorite color for most.. but it's a great alternative to black when you can find it! I really love it and it goes great with the coloring of my hair. Don't be afraid of brown my friends, it can be a fantastic neutral! :)

Buying brown clothing is a whole different story... not easily done! :( Tips for finding it in the stores very very welcome!!

Looking for some fall nail color recommendations? Check out my friend Amanda's post here! :)

Perfect. Plum. Polish

For what feels like a very long time I have been looking for a plum nail polish. Doesn't sound too hard.. but it is!

I have bought 4 different polishes hoping that they would be plum like the color swatch. Most turn out to be burgundy or almost black... 

Finally, I have found the perfect plum polish!


OPI's Vampsterdam

Here is how it looks! (without touch-ups!)


I am SO excited!


Bonus: OPI has removed most of the really nasty chemicals that are often found in nail polish. So its greener and cleaner!

What is your favorite polish?

All for now,
Alexandra
