Crimson, Oxblood, Wine Lips

Hello, I am sure you have heard and seen, red lips are big for Fall.  Red is the universal lip color of class and glamour for women around the globe.  

Whether it is in the form of a gloss, glaze, stain, or lipstick, I am head over heels over red lips in any season.

My Nails of Summer - Essie, SpaRitual, Revlon

Hello, My day job has kept me very busy lately, but it has not stopped me from enjoying my regular manicure and pedicure this summer.  I discovered some pretty nail colors to share with you, here are some of my favorites...


Essie Penny Talk - Pink gold metallic.  I typically do not go for metallic polishes, but I could not pass this up when I saw it from the "Mirror Metallics" collection at Walgreens.  The metallic is not over the top.  It is actually office friendly and quite a fun shade to wear.  My Mom saw my nails and mentioned she loved the color too, so I gifted her the bottle I bought.

SpaRitual Hunk of Burning Love - Warm red creme.  This was my first SpaRitual nail lacquer experience from a nail salon.  I absolutely love this brand after I tried this polish.  The color is so shiny and my finger nails were chip-free for about a week.  I learned more about this brand from the Sephora website:

SpaRitual® products are crafted for the enlightened consumer, using naturally formulated, vegan, certified-organic, and fair-trade ingredients. The brand approaches beauty as a holistic connection to oneself and to the environment, bringing eco-awareness not only to their line of body and hand products, but also in their efforts towards sustainable packaging and sourcing methods. All of SpaRitual’s natural formulas are free of synthetic dyes and parabens, as well as toluene, formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin, and DBP.

This particular color was also mentioned in The Zoe Report this month.


Revlon Runway Pearl - Sheer white with pink opalescence.  This may be a limited edition color.  I used two coats and got a pretty sheer and clean look.  I think three coats would look more even and better.  Revlon makes fabulous nail polishes at drugstore prices and their Quick Dry Top Coat is pretty amazing too.  Big fan here!

Please excuse the cuticles, this pic was taken a few months ago when it was freezing cold. 

Bloggers are saying this is a dupe for Chanel Nail Lacquer in Pearl Drop, see swatches from Temptalia's post here.  What do you think?  I think not exactly, Chanel's color seems to be more opaque and whiter from the pictures.


What nail polishes are you loving this summer?  


Thanks for stopping by.  Until next post......

Fuchsia and Pink Gold Glitter Nails with Essie and Revlon

Hello, This fun nail look was created with one coat of base coat, two coats of Essie Super Bossa Nova Nail Lacquer (bright fuchsia), and one coat of Revlon 261 Sparkling Nail Enamel (clear with pink and gold glitter).  Glitter polishes are known to be hard to remove and Revlon Sparkling is no exception.  The good thing about it is that it actually helped protect the nail color and this look was chip free for two whole weeks, impressive!

Sparkles never get old and we are never too old for sparkles!
