 Michelle:

So fall is finally here! Time to bring out the scarves, boots, coats, and NEW NAIL POLISH!!! In the fall I like wearing more of the neutral colors, purples, and deeper/darker colors. So starting on the left is Butter London's "Tea With a Queen." It is described as "on the pink side of tan, very neutral" and honestly the description says it all. It just gives your nails a very polished and sophisticated look. Next is Butter London's "Toff'." I did a NOTD (nail of the day) for this one so I won't go on and on, but in a nutshell it is a purple-toned dusty pink. Moving on to OPI first is "Meet me on the Star Ferry," which is a metallic medium purple. Then is "We'll Always Have Paris," which is my absolute ALL TIME favorite nail polish! It is a deep dark purple/burgundy creme color. From afar it might appear to be black, but up close its a gorgeous color :) Last from OPI is "Bling Dynasty" and it is a metallic bronze golden color. This is an example of a neutral color only shimmery to add a little umph, if you know what I mean. The last one is one from Sally Hanson, "Wine Not?" and like the name foreshadows, it is a shimmery deep red wine color which I think is perfect for fall!

What are your favorite polish colors for fall?

Happy Tuesday <3

NOTD: Butter London Toff

How many of you went out to Ulta's Butter London buy one get one FREE sale on Tuesday?! Best bet I did!! Butter London nail polishes are great not only for their selection of colors and quality, but also because they are a "3 Free company," so their polishes do not contain formaldehyde, toluene, or DBP. Toluene and DBP are toxin's that have been linked to causing reproductive and developmental side effects on babies, and formaldehyde is a known human carcinogen (cancer causing). Now, the amount of exposure to these toxin's should also be taken into to account, so I don't want you guys freaking out on me because one or two of your polishes contain any of these. It's just like x-rays, if taken in moderation, no real harm is done. Any-who, Toff was one of the colors I picked up since I like purple-toned colors for the fall. It is described as "a darker, dustier, brownish variation on a rose pink." It applied beautifully, very smooth and practically complete opacity with a single coat. I still applied two coats though (force of habit) and a top coat :) I absolutely love this polish and think it'll flatter any skin tone so next time you're at Ulta give it a look! You can also find these polishes on their website .

Happy Sunday! <3
