Fav Fall Nail Colors

Hey!

So where I live we get to experience some of each season. I’ve always had the torture of being teased with a few months of summer and then it suddenly getting cold and turning to winter. Then enduring a long few months of winter, with the excitement of spring to come. So every year as school starts back up and it begins to get cold, I get bummed that winter is coming. Which always seems to go by the slowest as summer flies by. But the one thing I look forward to with fall and winter is the new trends! Of course I love the bright summer colors and summer dresses, but it’s always nice to mix it up. I am excited about the fall and winter colors, and nail polish is one of my favorite ways to show off those richer, deeper colors. So with that said, these are some of my favorite fall/winter nail colors. Leave a comment and let me know what your favorite fall nail color is!

From left to right: Borghese Nail Lacquer in Palermo Plum, China Galze 1011 Flying Dragon (Neon), Sally Hansen Salon The Deepest of Violets, Sally Hansen Lacquer Shine in 06 Spark, Sally Hansen Hard As Wraps in Heartbeat Creme, and Milani 23A Ruby Jewels.

My favorite this fall is Borghese Nail Lacquer in Palermo Plum, which is a plum-red color. It looks gorgeous on but is a slightly different color than it looks in the bottle.

The Sally Hansen Hard As Wraps in Heartbeat Creme lasts a really long time and has that salon look. I had people asking me if I got my nails done when I was wearing this. It has acrylic gel and nylon in it so it looks thick and hard.

The Milani one is a really glittery red color. It is hard to see in the picture though.

Let me know what you all think!

Everyday Products

Hey guys! So the first thing I am going to talk about it my favorite everyday products. These are just the basic things I use. Hair: My hair is actually very curly, but I straighten it, curl it, and do lots of stuff with it. But, when its curly I like to wash it at night with Panteen Moisture Renewal before and in the morning, wet it a little, and put Herbal Essences Tousle Me Softly Mousse in it. I pull it through and then scrunch up the ends. I find it easier to put the mousse in it when it is only damp and not soaking wet. And it is best NOT to brush it, this only pulls the curls apart, making it bushy. I also don't blow dry it because it turns out best when it is air dried. I love this product it leaves my hair soft and not crunchy. It does not even feel like I have mousse in it. Skin: Right when I get out of the shower I always apply lotion. Especially with winter and the cold weather coming, its best to keep it hydrated. One of my favorite lotions is Olay Firming Body Lotion. It helps with cellulite and has a hint of shimmer in it, making your skin look glowing. For my face, I wash with Clean & Clear Makeup Dissolving Foaming Cleanser. It takes off your makeup and cleans your face. They make wipes and makeup remover too, but since my skin is clear I skip the makeup remover and only use the wash. If you have acne it is best to take your makeup off first then use the wash so it can get down deep. Or just wash it twice, first to get the makeup off, then to clean your pores. After I wash my face I apply a moisturizer. My skin is combination skin. Its oily in the t-zone and dry everywhere else. My favorite one is Clean & Clear Day Soft Moisturizer. Although, lately I have not been able to find it in stores. I really liked it because it made my face soft and it had SPF 15 in it. So since I couldn't find it I got the Aveeno one. Its okay, but I like the other one better.
