NOTD: Essie Concrete Glitter Nail Polish Collection in Stay Up Slate

Two coats of Essie Concrete Glitter Nail Polish Collection in Stay Up Slate. Textured Glitter Slate Gray.

Babes, I was super excited when I spotted this beauty because what is more rocker chic glam than a crushed crystal textured polish?! Um hi, nothing!

Stay Up Slate is a brilliant shimmering slate gray with a kiss of lilac undertone that is soooo pretty for winter. The textured finish makes top coat unnecessary {natch!}; but don't skip the base coat because you will literally die trying to remove this without! I was a little disappointed in wear-time. Typically textured polishes last more than a week without chips, but this one started chipping in a few days which was a pain. Aside from that I loved; but I'm not sure if I recommend. Womp womp!

happy new year babes!

"I've learned a lot this year. I learned that things don't always turn out the way you planned, or the way you think they should. And I've learned that there are things that go wrong that don't always get fixed or get put back together the way they were before. I've learned that some broken things stay broken, and I've learned that you can get through bad times and keep looking for better ones, as long as you have people who love you."

happy happy!

NOTD: OPI Disney's The Nutcracker and the Four Realms Nail Lacquer Collection in Dazzling Dew Drop

Two coats of OPI Disney's The Nutcracker and the Four Realms Nail Lacquer Collection in Dazzling Dew Drop. Glimmering Gold Shimmer.

Babes, you all know that I'm not a gold girl when it comes to manis; but this! This one I love {or maaaybe it's just the spirit of the season fooling me into thinking that?}. Aaanyway…

Dazzling Dew Drop is the perfect shade to move you from your holiday hangover into the throes of the new year! The yellow gold shading is bright and sparkly in a way that doesn't compare to other golds; while the easy breezy formula is exactly what you need if you're looking to polish in a pinch! Though light in hue; this one reaches opacity super fast, and is simply gorgeous to look at. Get it girls!

NOTD: OPI Grease Nail Lacquer Collection in Was It All Just A Dream?

Three coats of OPI Grease Nail Lacquer in Was It All Just A Dream?. Mint Creme.

Le sigh. It has been far. too. long. since I've indulged in a mint polish, and let me tell you, this bad boy has brought back my obsession!

Was It All Just A Dream? is a glorious pastel that harbors that bright yet light trait that I can never get enough of. Formula here was good. I did find the first and second coats to be a bit patchy; but the third evened it all out. Totally planning to wear this shade all. winter. long.

NOTD: Essie Fall 2018 Nail Polish Collection in Booties On Broadway

One coat of Essie Fall 2018 Nail Polish Collection in Booties On Broadway. Navy Blue Creme.

My first navy of the season and I am feel. ing. it.

Babes, Booties On Broadway is the color if you dig dark and decadent. It has that vampy feel that is TDF for the chillier months, and legit pairs perfectly with everything! Formula here was fabulush! It's creamy and dreamy and reaches opacity in just. one. coat. Not gonna lie, it likes to get flirty with your cuticles, so keep a Q-Tip around to wipe away any unwanted messes. Loves it!

NOTD: OPI Peru Nail Lacquer Collection in Como Se Llama?

Two coats of OPI Peru Nail Lacquer in Como Se Llama?. Burgundy Creme.

Burgundy polishes during the months of November / December just get me. I mean, they're so incredibly glam without being in your face, amiright?!

Como Se Llama? is a brown-leaning burgundy that looks like melted chocolate on the nail {yuuum-o!}. The formula is easy breezy to work with {leveling beautifully and requiring two easy swipes for full coverage}; but has the potential to stain cuticles during application if you're not careful - so keep a Q-Tip nearby. Perfection for fall and well into the winter months!

NOTD: China Glaze Ready to Wear FW'18 in Pleather Weather

Three coats of China Glaze Ready to Wear FW'18 Nail Lacquer Collection in Pleather Weather. Gray Matte.

Yes, you read the right; this baby is a matte. Unfortunately...I wasn't feeling it in matte form so I added top coat to give it a glossy touch.

Babes, I may like this color, but...the formula! Ugh! Total nightmare! Pleather Weather {love the name btw!} legit has the thinnest formula I have ever seen! We're talking nearly transparent on first coat thin. Yes, it does build nicely; but the color isn't a total wow, so I can't say that it was really worth it. This one's a pass IMO. Womp womp.

OPI Disney's The Nutcracker and the Four Realms Nail Lacquer Mini 4 Pack Swatches + Review

Babes, I was the biggest fan of The Nutcracker when I was younger, so when I saw that OPI had partnered with Disney for a nail collection I had to pick-up The Nutcracker and the Four Realms Nail Lacquer Mini 4 Pack! Thoughts? 100% obsessed with all four colors, and you're about to see why!

Dazzling Dew Drop is a Glimmering Gold Shimmer. Babes, you all know that I'm not a gold girl when it comes to manis; but this! This one I love {or maaaybe it's just the spirit of the season fooling me into thinking that?}. Aaanyway…Dazzling Dew Drop is the perfect shade to move you from your holiday hangover into the throes of the new year! The yellow gold shading is bright and sparkly in a way that doesn't compare to other golds; while the easy breezy formula is exactly what you need if you're looking to polish in a pinch! Though light in hue; this one reaches opacity super fast, and is simply gorgeous to look at. Get it girls! This is 2 coats.

March In Uniform is a Navy Creme. Tbh, I'm kiiiiind of navy-ed out after all of the navy hues that popped up in the fall and winter collections this past year; but I'm still loving this shade because it's the tiniest bit different from the rest of the blues out there. March In Uniform is a rich shade that is perfect for the chillier months; but what makes it special? It actually leans blurple, so it has a multifaceted feel. Though definitely dark; I found that it applied slightly thin, making two coats a necessity. Definitely a must if you're looking for a shade that's not your basic navy. This is 2 coats.

Tinker, Thinker, Winker? is a Sparkling Silver. Winter is the one time of year I go wild for silver shades; so you know I simply couldn't resist this shimmering stunner! Tinker, Thinker, Winker? feels like a winter wonderland on your fingers! It gives off a frosty and enchanting vibe whenever it catches the light, and pairs perfectly with pastels and sequins. The formula is thin {one coat would serve as a nice, sparkly topper to other colors}; but builds to opacity fairly quickly. If you're looking for a way to extend the holidays for a few more weeks, this bad boy is the key! This is 3 coats.

Dreams Need Clara-fication is an Icy Blue Creme. Le sigh…mints and baby blues always got me like whoa, and Dreams Need Clara-fication is no exception! Babes, this blue was made for the winter months! It has that bright yet pastel vibe that pairs beautifully with everything in your wardrobe - from lights to darks. Formula is perfection. Yes, it takes multiple coats for full coverage; but it's well worth it because the consistency is brilliant! This is 3 coats.

AVAILABILITY: Ulta.

PRICE: $14.50 for the 4PC Mini Set; $10.50 for each full-size bottle.

China Glaze Ready To Wear FW'18 6PC Micro Mini Nail Kit Swatches + Review

I live for fall nail collections because all things autumn are my jam; but none this season have impressed me as much as China Glaze's Ready To Wear FW'18 6PC Micro Mini Nail Kit. Babes, this collection is the. bomb. dot. com. The shades are brilliant, and I honestly cannot get over how perfect the formulas are. Get ready to be obsessed!

Mustard the Courage is a Mustard Yellow Creme. Le sigh. I don't know what it is about the autumn season, but it makes me covet these ugly pretty, pretty ugly nail colors like whoa; and Mustard the Courage is one of the prettiest ugly colors I have ever laid eyes on! Mustard is massive this season - and Mustard the Courage has got. you. covered. This bad boy is the quintessential shade for fall {and Thanksgiving!}, bringing the haute feel of all things harvest to your fingertips! Formula here was easy peasy lemon squeezy - applying flawlessly in two simple swipes. Babes, this is one beauty you need in your life. Trust. This is 2 coats.

You Don't Know Jacket is a Deep Navy Creme. Gotta love a deep, dark hue for winter, amiright?! You Don't Know Jacket is one of those looks-black-but-isn't navy blues. It's deep and dark and utterly delicious, with a formula that is f-l-a-w-l-e-s-s. A lot of polish clings to the brush, so make sure to wipe it well on the lip of the bottle before applying directly to your nail. This shade gave full coverage in one coat; but I opted for two to make it ultra-vampy! This is 2 coats.

Swatch Out! is a Pale Copper Foil with Silver Shimmer.

Central Parka is an Olive Green Creme. Can I just take a moment to rave over the ultra-amazing formula that is Central Parka?! Like omg babes, this bad boy is pure awesomeness! Central Parka is another one of those ugly pretty/pretty ugly hues that I personally l-o-v-e for sweater weather. As I mentioned before, the formula is pure perfection; but even better is that gorgeous, glossy finish. Absolutely obsessed with this baby! This is 2 coats.

Pleather Weather. Gray Matte. Yes, you read the right; this baby is a matte. Unfortunately...I wasn't feeling it in matte form so I added top coat to give it a glossy touch. Babes, I may like this color, but...the formula! Ugh! Total nightmare! Pleather Weather {love the name btw!} legit has the thinnest formula I have ever seen!

This is 3 coats.

Throwing Suede is a Putty Creme. Where do I begin? Throwing Suede is an interesting shade. It's not white, it's not nude; it's more of an in-between vanilla hue with a subtle rosy undertone that is v pretty and will capture the hearts of those who love a clean, neutral nail. For me, however, I found it a bit...boring. I'm not going to lie; the formula is good {decent consistency, and quick coverage}, but overall I feel as if it's meh, and just doesn't do anything for me. I think this would look best on a darker skintone, as it would really standout. If you're not a fan of neutrals, pass on this one. Womp womp. This is 2 coats.
