What's Been On My Nails:Fall Edition

I love fall; it's one of my favourite times of the year, and I especially love bringing out all of my fall nail colours. I wanted to break out my fall nail polishes the second September hit but I tried to patiently wait for the weather to cool down and fall to actually arrive before I did. So these are what I have been wearing on my nails for about the last 6 weeks. 



The first Polish is Sally Hanson Xtreme Wear in Pacific Blue. I can't believe I didn't own this sooner. I saw Lindsey or Beautybaby44 on youtube wear this and I had to own it. Its the most beautiful colbat blue; which is perfect because its on trend for Fall/Winter this year. It applied amazing as well. I could have gotten away with one coat but did two just to be safe. Its also a bargain at around $2.50 in most drugstores. 

The next colour is China Glaze's Unpredictable. This is a shade that is everywhere now and most brands have it. I fell in love with this colour when I saw O.P.I's Just Spotted the Lizard from their Spiderman collection last year. I found this in Sally's Beauty and didn't hesitate bringing it home with me.

Rimmel Lasting Finish Pro in Steel Grey was my next choice for a Fall polish. I bought this last winter and didn't wear it until I few weeks ago. I was really unsure whether I would like this colour since I don't tend to gravitate towards brown tones polishes. However, this turned out so beautifully. I also love the brushes on the Rimmel polishes because of how big they are. I know some don't like them but I find they make it quicker to paint my nails. 



I stuck with the more grey colours and painted my nails with O.P.I's Nein Nein Nein from their Germany collection last year. This is a deep grey colour and in darker lighting can almost look black. It took a couple coats to get an fully opaque colour but it wasn't streaky at all. This is a great polish when I want to think about what to put on my nails.

I decided to switch it up and wear a brighter colour so I wore a Revlon polish in Bewitching. I love berry colours in the fall. This is a great alternative to wearing red; which I want to save until closer to Christmas time. For those of you who don't like super dark colours this is a great polish that is still bright but in the colour pallet of fall. 

Currently on my nails I have Revlon's Fashionista. I've been loving bluey-green colours recently; I've been eyeing up Sallen Hansen's new collection for their Complete Manicure line that is almost all blue-green polishs. I picked this up at the same time I got Bewitching. This has a lot more green in it than it is blue but I love this colour. The application on this one wasn't as good as Bewitching but I was still able to get a opque colour in three coats. 

Thats what I've been loving on my nails recently, what have you been loving on your nails?






Quo Professional Interchangeable Brush Set Review


I recently picked up the Quo Professional Interchangeable Brush Set on a whim because I had heard of the professional line by Quo but have never seen them before at Shoppers Drug Mart. I've tried the normal line of brushes from Quo and they are some of the worst brushes I've tried. I've heard that these were a lot better than the normal ones and they were 40% off so I thought I would give them I try.

Empties: Products I've Used Up


I've finish quite a few products since the beginning of 2013 and I decided it was about time to do an empties post and tell you what I thought about each product and whether or not I would repurchase or not.

NOTD: China Glaze Glistening Snow

I absolutely love glitter nail polishes and this one has been one of my favourites for winter. I wore this polish on New Years Eve this year as well. I got it in a Christmas gift set with this polish, a similar gold glitter polish and a shot glass.

L'oreal Voluminous Power Collagen Mascara

I've had this mascara a while now. I picked it up when I saw it on on sale. I'm out of my L'oreal Voluminous Million Lashes Mascara which I love, so I was hoping this would be a good replacement for it.

Whats In My Travel Makeup Bag!

I moved at the beginning of the month and pretty much everything is still in boxes. Knowing in advance that I wouldn't get to unpack all of my stuff for at least a couple of weeks I made sure to put enough makeup into a case so I would still be able to use it.

Bath and Body Works Haul

I love Bath and Body Works products and they usually have some kind of sale on so everything is a little bit cheaper. So because they have their semi-annual sale going on and I didn't know when it was going to end I grabbed a few things that I had been wanting for a while. 

Tropical Sorbet Float, Lemon Sunshine Slush, Peach Bellini

Revlon Escapism Blushes

I first heard of these months ago on blogs and on youtube and wouldn't wait for them to hit stores here in Canada, but like most products it take a while for them to be released up here. So after months of  searching every drugstore in my area or that I past I finally saw them on display and not wanting them to wait and end up missing out a grabbed all three colours.

Accessories Wish List

I have been wanting a few different accessories that are pretty expensive for the longest time but have always shied away from making a purchase because of the price tag. Then when I got thinking about it I realized that I wouldn't think twice about spend the same amount of money on a bunch of stuff that I don't like as much and won't last nearly as long. So I've decided that a few times a year I'll allow myself to splurge on an item.

May Favourites

The month of May was crazy for me in between school, and work there was very little time for anything in between so I ended up not wearing very much makeup all month because I didn't have the time to do it. When I did it was easy, and not a lot of thought had to go into it.

My 7 Deadly Sins Tag!

This is a tag that I've seen going around Youtube lately that I love, its different than a lot of other beauty tags that go around so I thought that I'd do my here.
