NOTD: NYC New York Color Long Wearing Nail Enamel in Black Lace Creme

Two coats of NYC New York Color Long Wearing Nail Enamel in Black Lace Creme. Black Creme.

Typically I reserve my NOTD posts for #ManicureMonday, but it's Halloween Eve, so I had to share my chosen color, so here it is.

Black. Groundbreaking, I know. I always go for a black nail for Halloween because I usually dress as a member of the feline family every. single. year. so it feels appropriate. This year it's Black Lace Creme.

For a black shade, this color was v easy to work with - not flooding the cuticles or anything. Granted, it did require two coats for opacity, and leans more towards a deep espresso than true black, it still fits the spooky bill I was aiming for!


What nail color are you rocking for Halloween weekend?

NOTD: Revlon Nail Enamel in Copper Penny

Two coats of Revlon Nail Enamel in Copper Penny. Deep Warm Copper Metallic.

Metallics are so not my jam, but this color...le sigh...totally feeling it - especially for fall festivities {Thanksgiving, anyone?}.

Copper Penny is the quintessential harvest shade, capturing the last flickering lights of summer, and blending them seamlessly with a rich, pumpkin spice-esque warmth that is just gorgeous!

The formula here was flawless, reaching opacity like that {with thicker coats, this could even be a OCW}, and leaving zero brushstrokes. Autumn essential right here, babes!

NOTD: Ciaté London Mini Paint Pot in Knee Highs

One coat of Ciaté London Mini Paint Pot in Knee Highs. Deep Navy Shimmer.

Ohhhh look at that loveliness! I don't usually go wild over shimmers, but this one is just di-vine - and a OCW to boot. Natch!

Knee Highs is brilliant if you're seeking something vampy but aren't in the mood for your standard rich plum, red, or purple. Formula is fab here, reaching opacity fast, and drying even faster.

I did experience a bit of tipwear pretty early on; but, the fact that, after 6 days of wear, there was zero staining, totally cancels the tipwear issue out. Highly recommend for winter!

NOTD: JULEP Nail Color in Lorenzana

Two coats of JULEP Nail Color in Lorenzana. Shiitake Mushroom Creme.

First things first, forgive the hot mess status that is my ring finger, I had a bad {read: painful} cuticle accident that has left it in a bit of disarray, but it is on the mend, so...moving on.

I L-O-V-E colors like this for fall as they literally scream sweater weather and feel so lush + lovely.

This one is particularly yum given its positively perfect formula. Rich and smooth, this one is v sheer on coat one, but builds opacity nicely. While I only used two coats for these swatches, in hindsight, I think Lorenzana warranted a triple-coat. Regardless, I love and highly recommend.

links à la mode: the IFB weekly roundup {october 8, 2015 edition}

Desktop-001

While IFB bloggers, like always, covered their favorite trends, many covered their favorite colors for this Fall – Mustard, Marsala {Burgundy}, Gray, and Camel. With the use of Fall colors and recent trends, bloggers showed their favorite ways of transitioning Summer wardrobes into Fall.

Fashion week was still a strong theme and really hit on how each region’s designers show true {cultural} colors in their Fashion Weeks. A closer look into Milan, Paris, and an alternative Berlin Fashion Week will give readers a glimpse of these differences. And someone was still reminiscing about her recent trip to New York City during their fashion week… which gave me pangs of longing for the Big Apple.

My longing continued for my home away from home with coverage of two very different New York City events – Sinatra and The Blonds. Thank goodness no one covered New York City restaurants; I don’t think my heart could have taken it.

And Bookish and Belle gave me a chuckle with her “Closet Confidential” video. Go check it out and then just for the heck of it, make your own list.
