Manicure

anisedandgWhen I saw this color for the first time, I knew I had to have it. The beautiful historic blue in a matte finish. Love!

Dolce & Gabbana Intense Nail Lacquer in Anise is more classic than trend. It's one of those colors you want around at any given moment.

It takes a few coats — three is optimum. And while it takes time to dry in between coats, the results are more than worth it.

Simple beauty that goes with everything.

 

 
gooverboardessieOne of the least expensive accessories you can wear is nail color. A quick change when the mood hits. Not to mention, just plain fun!

I am here to tell you that I've fallen for another blue from Essie. This teal is absolutely gorgeous. Go Overboard goes on much darker that the bottle indicates. Such an easy and universally flattering color on both fingers and toes.

This color will go perfectly with your resort attire, both warm and cold destinations!
 
essiemezmerisedEvidently, I'm having an affair with cobalt blue.

I love it on walls. And, of course, in clothing and accessories. But now, I must have it on my finger nails.

Various shades of blue have adorned my fingers and toes in the past. But nothing quite as bold as this. Essie's Mezmerised is on my list to pick up this week. I may even find myself leaving the store with a few more cobalts in hand.

With cornflower blue playing such a big role this fall, it's high time cousin cobalt got to come out and play. This jolt of color is like an extra shot of espresso in the morning. And who couldn't use that?

Besides, my nails will look great holding my cobalt blue Otterbox phone case.
 
I am digging a soft gray nail at the moment. As we surround ourselves with dark colors this season, why not lighten up with a pale shade of gray on our fingers and toes? A step up from winter white.

I attempted this color last week, in a different brand albeit, and was sorely disappointed. Other than the name, I love everything about this bottle (especially what's inside). Whether you pick this one, with soft blue undertones by Essie, or OPI's milky soft gray, Skull & Glossbones, you will surely delight in the timeless glory. Perfect.

Fall metallics are in! As in the go-to shades of CHANEL. All three of these are fast favorites already!

The new molten metal, light reflecting shades — Quartz (metallic greige), Péridot (metallic gold-green with iridescent pink undertones) and Graphite (glitter-flecked gray) — are certain to become bestsellers. However, the limited edition colors won't be around for long, so get them while they are hot!
