NOTD: Sally Hansen's Anenome of Mine AND Wet N Wild's Night Prowl

Left to right: Wet N Wild Night Prowl and Sally Hansen Anenome of Mine
According to Wikipedia, my new favorite color is byzantium.  Who knew, right?  Forget that December is usually filled with red, green and silver tones...nope, not for me.  I've decided that this month purple is my go-to color.

While on my lunch break yesterday, I (as usual) barreled down the three flights of stairs from my office to the Shopper Drug Mart below and wandered around the nail polish section looking for the perfect color purple.  And, BEHOLD, I found it.  (See, a coworker of mine was wearing a color very similar this past week and I've been on a mission to find it ever since.)  Isn't it pretty?

I chose to pair Anenome of Mine with Night Prowl because I don't usually wear glitter polishes AND they look gorgeous together.  These two colors, combined, are definitely going to be a heavily-used combination going forward.

What do you think ladies?  Have you worn either of these colors before?  Or even together?

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!
