NOTD: Vintage Boutique

Hey,
Yet again another late nail post, I wanted something fall, I love fall I feel like everyone who is into beauty and fashion says that but it has always been my favorite season. Last week I mentioned that I may be done with these and I still am unsure if this will be the last one or not, I will definitely replace these post with something else for Mondays. So this week I chose to use Vintage Boutique, its a gorgeous fall color, I'm not always the biggest fan of brown but there is something about this brown that I just love, it reminds me of fall and hot chocolate, which I do categorize as a fall item. I don't know how to even begin to explain this brown, it seems to me like it has purple in it and at the same time it seems like it doesn't and is more of a taupe or mushroom brown. It's an Avon polish, part of their Nailwear pro+ nail enamel line, and I do believe this is only sold around now, but I may be wrong about that.

Mani Monday: Blossom

Hey,

I wanted a good transitioning into fall color this week, so I went with this pretty pinkish red color by Avon called Blossom which is a discontinued color they had for fall a year or two ago. With that being said I know I've seen colors pretty much exactly like this one from Sinful Colors and OPI, pretty much every nail polish company has something similar. I think this would look really nice paired with a brown, mauve brown or taupe. I just used a top coat this week which was Seche Vite, and last week that top coat got "dirty" it just looked filthy and I have no clue how that happened since I'm not the type of person to even let my hands get dirty, it was really strange and just wouldn't wash off.

Sorry for the really messy nails, I honestly just painted them and typed this up a few minutes before it was posted and usually I do this the night before, I've been so busy hence the few blog post this week.

Also the polish is a bit more pink tones in person not as bright.

Mani Monday: Ballerina

Hey,

This week I just wanted something pretty and natural but still there. I went with Avon Speed Dry+ Nail Enamel in Ballerina, its a gorgeous soft pink that just leaves your nails looking natural but still pretty and polished. This polish is extremely sheer, it took three coats to get it that opaque, but I can still see the tips of my nails and a little white dot I have on my nails through the polish. This is great for someone who doesn't like bright colors or if you can't were them for work or school, its also a great anytime polish; good for summer, spring, fall and even winter because its so soft and natural. I didn't use any base coat but I did use top coat this week, which was Seche Vite as usual, but if you get this or have this or something similar using a white or a lighter pink that's opaque underneath will give it a gorgeous look, this is also a great polish to match shimmery top coats with.

Mani Monday: Lavender and news

Hey,



Sorry for the messy nails.

I hope the title wasn't misleading, I decided I wanted to try newspaper nails, I only did an accent nail with it. I know this is pretty old but I have been meaning to give it a try for quite some time; as in over a year, and just never got around to it. Here is the link to were I originally learned how to do this, I used alcohol pads instead, but either way works, check that out here. The polishes I used were Luxe Lavender and Urban Gray both by Avon and in the Nailwear Pro+ nail enamel line. Unfortunately Urban Gray has been discontinued, but its just a nice muted light gray, similar to a newspaper. I painted all of my nails except the ring finger with the Luxe Lavender and the ring with the Urban Gray, I used Seche Vite and Seche Clear as my top and base coat, you can see the review I did on those here.
