Mani Monday's: Favorite Nude

It's Monday again and this is fast becoming my favorite day of the week with all the lovely themes and lovely ladies sharing the same passion (or obsession...) for nail polish. This weeks theme is, well, to be honest, totally not my thing: Favorite Nude. I own just a few polishes (ahum), but not one of them is a nude. Yup, you read right, I do not own one single nude polish!...

MAC Ruby Woo with a possible dupe

My first ever MAC purchase was a lipstick and not just any lipstick! It still is my all time favorite lipstick and I wear it all the time. The color is intense, it stays all day (and all night if I don't take it off) and it brings a pop of color to any outfit. As you could tell from my 2 part Favorite Red post (part 1 and part 2) I love red nails. But my love for red doesn't just...

Sinful Colors Precious Metal

One of the big nail trends for fall that seems to come back every year is metallics. Although I love all nail polish, I'm not a fan of this particular finish because it just doesn't seem to suit my skintone. I love silver and gold polish, but they make me look like I'm undead... For instance, I wish I could rock Orly Rage, I love that rosegold tone, but I didn't even buy it,...

Essie Cashmere Bathrobe

Essie released a gorgeous Fall collection this year, For the Twill of it. I really liked several of the colors, but wasn't keen on the one that everybody is raving about. Don't get me wrong, I like For the Twill of it, but it just doesn't have that wow-factor for me because I own a dupe that has been in my stash for quit some time AND OPI released a polish...

Essence The boy next door

I have a really  nice budget polish for you today. I actually have quit a few polishes of this brand, but for some reason, I never grab them. Especially  not since they changed the bottle. But Essence The boy next door is absolutely wonderfull! I can't take my eyes of this shimmery deep cobalt blue. The minute I walked in the store and saw this polish, I knew I had...

Mani Monday's: Stripes

Another Monday has arrived and that means it's time for another Mani Monday. This weeks theme is Stripes. Well, if you've read my earlier attempts to create stripes on my nails (click here for my epic big fat failure), you know I don't have the best track record when it comes to this particular art type... In fact, I've had such a hard time with striping tape, I actually considered...

Essie First Timer

I have been loving Essie lately. They have come out with some pretty nice collections and I think I bought about 10 of them in the last 2 months alone. This next polish I have debated about getting for a long time. It seemed so different on different people, some I liked and some I didn't like so much. Eventually, I bit the bullet and ordered Essie First Timer and I'm really...

Colors by Llarowe Purple Rain

I've mentioned the awesome website Llarowe more than once on my blog. You can find the best indie polishes on this site and I have spend many a dollar there. When Leanne announced that she would be releasing her own line of nail polish, I was thrilled! With all that experience with indie polishes, these must be absolutly fantastic polishes. As soon as I saw the first...

Philosophy Hands of Hope

I'm always on the hunt for the perfect hand cream, but I haven't found the right one yet. I admit, I have a lot of requirements for a cream. I would like it to be nice and thick, really moisturizing, it has to sinks in my skin really fast and shouldn't leave a greasy residue. Oh, And the smell shouldn't be to overpowering. Easy enough, right? Wrong! I have tried...

Mani Monday's: favorite Red part 2

I showed my favorite reds yesterday and it's time for me to make that tough decision... Today I will show you the one polish that makes my heart race every time I look at the bottle and have it on my nails. It's simply stunning and takes my breath away! Yes, I feel that strongly about this polish! It took me forever to find it and now that I finally own it, I'm only wearing...

Mani Monday's: Favorite Red part 1

Today's Mani Monday theme is Favorite Red! Well, red happens to be my favorite nail polish color and I have a lot of them. In my book, red is a color that fits every occasion, you just can't go wrong with a red nail. Classic red, vampy red, red with shimmer, micro glitter, large glitter, bright red... there's a red for every one! So you can imagine my dilemma with just choosing...
