NOTD: It's A Coral Glitter-Fest!

I have a secret to tell you all. I'm having an affair....with glitter!

I don't quite know when this affair began but all of a sudden I've began buying glitter nail polish like they're going out of style. Pinks, turquoise, yellow, multi-color...it doesn't matter the color because I love them all. 

The only issue I have with glitter is the amount of time it takes to remove from your nails. Aside from that, a coat of glitter turns even the worst polish job into something fabulous.

On my nails I applied one coat of Sally Hansen Hard as Nails XtremeWear Nail Color in Coral Reef (#405) and then one coat of Essie Multi Dimension Top Coat in A Cut Above. I love the chunkiness of the glitter pieces and of the light coral poking out through it.

Sigh, I adore glitter.

Nailed!


Nailpolish...so, though I can NOT live without it, I am the worst at applying it.

For the life of me, I can't figure out how to apply it without it getting all over my skin, and even my fingers. (Of course, what I do is apply as much as I want then just take a Q-tip dipped in polish remover and clean my fingers...) Either way, nail colors are definitely a great way to make a bold statement and jazz up any outfit.

As you all know, red is definitely my staple color BUT I've broadened my horizons to include some other smashing colors too. Here's some of my faves right now:

1. Revlon Coral Me Wild (Neon Coral)
2. Essie Jag-U-Are (Red with Gold Flecks)
3. Revlon Hot For Chocolate (Chocolate Brown)
4. Rimmel London Bare Naked (Nude)
5. Revlon Steel Her Heart (Silver Grey)
6. Sinful Colors Professional Cloud 9 (Bright Orange)
7. Rimmel London Green With Envy (Shimmery Turquoise)
8. Revlon Plum Night (Dark Purple)

Yes, you'll notice a lot of Revlon polishes on the list because they are inexpensive and, because I tend to change my color every three days, it's not cost effective for me to spend more than that. (Plus, it does start to flake after a couple days...obviously not the greatest quality but only costs about $4.99.)

One other thing to keep in mind....the colors for fall are chocolate brown, burgundy, plum, and grey. Try some of these new colors out because you'll love them....PLUS, they go with everything!
