Butter London - Queen Vic

We are so excited for all of the jewel tones and rich colors for fall!! It's still pretty hot here so it's not feeling like fall just yet. The high today is 88 and it's going to be 90 tomorrow!! Anyways, that doesn't mean we can't still have fun with fall nail colors! Today I'm wearing a new polish we picked up when Ulta was having their BOGO free sale on Butter London. At $14 it is a little expensive, so we definitely took advantage of the sale.  This lovely color is Queen Vic and it's perfect for fall. Butter London describes it as: A stunning, elegant and classy lacquer. Red wine meets cranberry. Nail lacquer fit for a queen. When I look at this color I totally see merlot. It took three coats to make it opaque and I used Seche...

Dark & Vampy with Some Hard Metal

I have been lusting after deep, dark, vampy nails. I present to you Essie Carry On. It's exactly what I was looking for. Excuse the messy cuticle area, it's a little difficult on darker polishes to make it look super neat. I'm not one of those awesome nail bloggers who clean up the cuticle after I'm done. However, looking at this mani it kinda makes me wish I did do a little clean up. It was pretty opaque in two coats so that made me happy. So many of the colors like this were described as jelly and I knew I didn't want to have to build 3-4 coats of such a dark polish. That just spelled disaster waiting to happen. For this mani, I went for the metallic/foil polish. It's a dusty blue with silver all swirled into one. It...

365 Days of Nail Polish: Day 9

I decided to try the other Fergie polish I picked up recently from Wet n Wild. This is Grammy Gold and it's really similar to Going Platinum except I don't love it as much. Formula and application are pretty much the same. I just love the color of Going Platinum a whole lot more! I only needed two coats and I didn't get any nasty brush strokes on either shade. If I had applied this color before Going Platinum I'd probably be in love with this one. Anyways, it's a foil, it's shiny, and it can be yours for only $3.49 from Walgreens! -T I think its safe to say we are both having fun with foil/metallic colors! I chose Sinful Colors Dancing Nails for Day 9 and I loveee it! Of course with it being Sinful Colors I love the formula and the application...

365 Days of Nail Polish: Day 8

Oh my gosh! I am in love with this polish. I think it's going to have to be labeled as my favorite metallic polish ever. This is Going Platinum from the Wet n Wild Fergie Collection. I was slightly annoyed that I had to shell out $3.49 for this polish, but I'm over it now after staring at my nails all day long. It took two coats to be opaque and I added Seche Vite as a top coat. It's a silver foil polish with gold flecks which I think helps to warm up the polish and not wash out my skin. I don't want to take this polish off!! But I will. Tomorrow :) -T I chose a minty green color for today and I am in love with it!!! I thought it would be like all of my other mint green polishes but it is definitely not! It's a much brighter version...

365 Days of Nail Polish: Day 7 (In Honor of Miley Cyrus)

Day 7 is here!! If you guys saw this video then you know all about Miley Cyrus and her new hair debacle. When choosing my polish for Day 7 I immediately knew which polish I had to use.  I've actually used this polish before, but my base was an untried for me. The base is China Glaze Dance Baby from the Electropop Collection.  For my accent nail, I chose Wet N Wild Hannah Pinktana in honor of Miley.  Dance Baby applied pretty well. I only needed two coats for full opacity. Hannah Pinktana wasn't as easy to work with. The polish was a little thick and wanted to build up a lot! Overall I'm happy with my Hannah Pinktana Miley Cyrus tribute mani! -T For your viewing pleasure: I chose a pink for Day 7 as well!! I...

365 Days of Nail Polish: Day 6

For Day 6, I went for another untried Sinful Colors. This is Open Seas and I love it as much if not more than Rain Storm from yesterday's post. I'm thinking I might just have to do a Top 10 Favorite Sinful Colors post. This polish covered completely in two coats, and I used Seche Vite as my top coat. I wasn't sure it was going to be opaque in two coats, because the first was a little thin/streaky.  If you're thinking this color is familiar, it's a dupe for OPI's Mermaid Tears from their Spring 2011 Pirate's of the Caribbean Collection. Can't wait to try more of my Sinful Colors polishes!! -T For Day 6, I chose a Sinful Colors polish also! Savage is one of the polishes I picked up a few days ago. (along with about 4 others :X)...

365 Days of Nail Polish: Day 5

It's Day 5, and I have a confession to make. The polish in this photo was just purchased last night! I know what you're thinking. I really shouldn't be purchasing new colors when I'm having a hard time using the ones I already own. I love nail polish, so sue me. Stef and I were scouring our town for the new Wet n Wild Saved by the Bell polishes, but they're nowhere to be found. I decided to console myself with a little Sinful Colors in Rain Storm. I am so happy I did. The formula is amazing and I almost got away with one coat! This is going to be a great color for fall! You can find Sinful Colors at most drugstores, and Walgreens frequently has them on sale for $.99 instead of $1.99! -T For Day 5, I decided to try something completely...

365 Days of Nail Polish: Day 4

For Day 4, I drew inspiration from a nail blog! I used the same glitter, OPI Crown Me Already, but for the base I chose a polish I've never used before. The light pink is Spoiled - My Button Fell Off.  Spoiled is by Wet n Wild and not my most favorite nail polish line of all time. The brush is way too thick and the bristles are stiff. If you're someone who finds it impossible not to paint the sides of your fingers then I'd pass on this line of polish. It was opaque in two coats so I loved that about the formula. I always hate using pale pink polishes that are streaky and impossible to get opaque. Overall I feel kinda meh about this look. I wish I had achieved a lighter application of the glitter. I'll definitely try this look again...

365 Days of Nail Polish: Day 3

Day 3 brings a little sparkle and a little dupe for you guys. So far we're enjoying trying neglected polishes in our collection and apparently you guys are doing the same! We love hearing that we're inspiring you guys to try some of your polishes for the first time. For Day 3, I went with this blue grey polish from OPI. It was part of the Spring/Summer 2012 Holland Collection and the only one we picked up!   It has tiny flecks of gold glitter and I love it! I needed three coats to avoid any VNL's and application was pretty smooth. Even though this polish is from a Spring/Summer collection, I think it would go great as a Fall/Winter color as well! -T For Day 3, I chose to go a little brighter with a super fun hot pink color by...
