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?

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.

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.

February Favorites

This is a few day's late as it's already the 3rd of March. But better late than never. 
I had a lot of favorites in the month of February. Most of the things are products that I have been wearing on a daily basis.

Nails of the Week: Snow-man of My Dreams


You can never own too many sparkly nail polish. This applies to this one as well. So when I spotted this at Shopper Drug Mart for $6 I didn't think twice. Its from the Nicole by O.P.I holiday collection and when these first came out I didn't pay too much attention to them but because it was one sale I couldn't resist. This reminded me a lot of my Rainbow in the S-Kylie from the Kardashian collection but with a more blue color rather than silver and smaller glitter. 

Two coats, Flash

Nails Of The Week: Marine Blue

I've become obsessed with blue nails for spring. I've see so many great colors come out in spring collections that I can't wait to buy. Plus its one color that my collection is lacking. So when Shopper Drug Mart had these Rimmel nail polishes on sale I couldn't resisted picking up a bottle.

Nails Of The Week: Raspberry Rapture

I haven't painted my nails in a couple of weeks because they have been very weak lately and keep peeling so I decided to give them a break for a little bit. Finally they started to cooperate and because the weather has been so up and down lately between warm and freezing, raining and snowing, I needed to have some kind of brightness in my day. This is probably one of my favorite nail polishes ever. It's a really bright pink color that I got a couple of years ago and fell in love with it.

Drug Store Haul

I ended up going to Shoppers Drug Mart because they had a few things one sale that I wanted, just to walk out with only one thing that was on sale. Very typical of me.

New Year, New Products

 December turned out to be a month of trying new products for me. Over the last few years there are products that haven't changed at all. And as time has gone by certain things I use I've become increasingly more unhappy with so I had to find new things to replace them with. Then I just had to try a few things that I've heard great things about.
