Matte it down

Today I experimented with matte polish and I'm pretty happy with the result. I started with a base color of L'Oreal Club Prive and then used french nail tape on the base of my finger and applied Julep Amber on top. Julep Amber is a suede matte polish in a gold color that came in my Maven box this month, its pretty awesome. I then topped it off with Hard Candy Matte-ly In Love. I'm pretty much in love with this manicure, and I'm excited it turned out decent :) Have a happy Thanksgiving!

L'Oreal Colour Riche in Boozy Brunch

Happy Friday everyone! I get so excited when Friday rolls around, its the end of my work week, and beginning to my weekend! Today I have for you a new brand I haven’t tried before, L’Oreal Colour Riche in Boozy Brunch. The name alone made me smile, reminded me of a mimosa on a Sunday morning :) The color in this polish is beautiful, it’s an orange crème, close to being almost neon but not quite there. I wish I would have found this in the summer time but I think you can wear any color any time of the year. Have a safe weekend!

KB Shimmer Oh Splat!

One of my favorite indie polishes is a brand called KB Shimmer. She has a great Fall collection out right now and is debuting her Winter collection this Wednesday 11/15. You can see her available polishes here. She also has wonderful smelling soaps and bath scrubs so check her out!

Today I have on Oh Splat! from her Fall collection. This is probably one of my favorite right now. I'm a huge fan of white jelly bases so this is on the money. The different sized glitters and colors made this polish really fun.

Color Club Ho-Ho-Holly

I am a huge University of Oregon fan so I thought my first nail post could be Duck related. While at Sally’s, I picked up an awesome green foil shimmery polish by Color Club called Ho-Ho-Holly. This polish is part of their 2012 Winter Affair collection, there are 6 shades total and they’re all gorgeous. I decided to use Sephora’s OPI Its Real 18k Gold top coat to complete my Oregon look. I’m so loving these nails right now! They look killer in the sunlight too!
