Hey lovelies! It seems like our lake trip might be FINALLY happening this weekend! This is the third time we're trying to go, lol! What are you all up to this weekend?

I wore MAC's Earthly Harmony on my nails today. I must say I'm really impressed with the quality of the newer MAC polishes. I could really have done one coat but did two just in case. The application was a breeze and the polish dry time was quick. The colour itself is one of those mushroom type shades; a light taupe that has super tiny gold flecks in it, you can really only see it in sunlight. I really really like this shade. It was the first shade I chose out of my haul from yesterday and I know I will wear it a lot.

Here's a 2-coat swatch on my nails. Excuse my dry skin :/



Have you guys picked up this colour? How do you feel about the taupe trend?

I bit the bullet and coughed out $25 for Chanel's Paradoxal nail polish. I don't usually spend this much on a nail polish but I loved Paradoxal so much! It's a complex colour too; I would say like a purple toned gray in cream finish if that makes any sense. The application was a breeze. I could have done one coat only but went with two.

Here's two coats on my nails:


I cane see Paradoxal quickly becoming a fall favourite of mine. What are some of your favourite fall nail polishes?

It's so weird that I've had this nail polish for a year and in fact I wore it every week last winter and still haven't swatched it! In fact Sheer Your Toys that came out with OPI's last year winter collection is one of my favourit winter colours.

Sheer Your Toys is a shimmery gray polish with lilac flashes to it. It really is a difficult colour to describe. I really dig its uniqueness though. This is two coats:

Light Affair was my single haul from MAC's Love Lace collection. I don't usually buy MAC nail polishes but I loved the swatches for this one so I caved in. Light Affair is a gorgeous pale lilac that's sort of grayed out so it's muted and extremely chic. The elegant and sophisticated feel of this polish really appeals to me. Also, unlike my previous experiences with MAC polishes, Light Affair applied easily and was opaque in 2 coats.

Excuse the tear you see in one of my nails :((

This is my other OPI Suede purchased about three weeks ago, it's the first time I remembered to wear it though. This is what happens when you have too many nail polishes. Anyway, I don't own the regular version of this nail polish , but from what I remember it was a dark blue gray while the suede version is more of a gunmetal shade. It's pretty much the same as You Don't know Jacques in terms of discrepancy between the colours of regular and suede versions. I love the look of this polish though. This is only one coat and it's opaque enough for me. The application was a breeze and it dried super fast. I'm really digging the suedes that I bought.

Here's a pic:
