Allow me to introduce two new nail polishes I picked up for spring from the Dior Beauty Spring Collection: Riviera (440) and Bayadere (633)! Riviera is a beautiful peach and surprisingly suits my skin tone nicely. In general, it’s a little hard for me to pull off colors like these without it washing me out. It’s got subtle gold sparkles…

Hi there! Today I have a quick and cute show and tell for the imPress Press-On Manicure in Dorothy. Now, I have not experimented with press-on nails since I was… like 12? But there appear to have been some advances in the press-on nail game that warrant a try! Last year, I was at a work event in San Diego…

On to the next. How many times have I said that in life? Many. But when it comes to the Essie Expressie Quick Dry Nail Polish in the shade On to the Next, it’s here to stay. I’ve had this nail polish for many seasons. It was an on-the-whim purchase after another of my polishes chipping and feeling fickle about…

Here’s a sneak peek my picks from the new Dior Holiday Collection. Everything is so beautiful and elegant, it was so hard to choose. There were a few things I just could not do without. The Rouge Dior Minaudiere Lipstick Holder & Case had been unavailable for the longest and it took a few times for it to come back…

New nail polish alert! I recently came across a nail polish I found breathtakingly pretty – and it was from a brand I hadn’t recalled hearing of. This beauty is the Olive and June nail polish in the shade Pink Sands.

Boy, do I love a neutral-pink, springtime shade! I picked up the Chanel Le Vernis in Daydream over a month ago and it took me another month to finally break it out and use it. This and one of the brand’s lipstick shades from the spring collection were instant purchases after seeing this image on Instagram:

So I have many nail polishes in a shade that looks like this but something about Dior’s Vernis Gel Shine & Long Wear Nail Lacquer in Rouge en Diable called out my name and seduced my beauty senses! This shade is limited edition and with Dior, I know how serious people are about that, so I hopped on this one…

I’ve never been one to clamor over Chanel, but I recently tried one of the brand’s blushes and fell in love with the formula. I made sure to keep my eyes open for the spring collection and was happy they released a new shade, Foschia Rosa. I saw the nail polish before I saw the blush and knew I had…

Essie Topless and Barefoot ($9.00) is described as a soft beige pink. On me, it is exactly that, and let me tell you… it is gorgeous and long-lasting for a regular nail polish! I really like the way it looks against my skin tone. It’s also very work-appropriate. I mentioned that it’s long-lasting; for me a nail polish generally lasts…

On a somewhat recent trip to Sephora, I came across a beautiful nail polish from Nails Inc called Primrose Hill Lane ($15.00). It was attractive to me not only for the gorgeous color, but also for the gel effect the polish claims to have. Of course it was sold out in store, and also on their website, but I managed to…

Summer summer summertime! Remember that song? Well, summertime is right around the corner, but with this awesome weather lately, it feels like it’s already here. This new nail polish I acquired is right on time as well. The YSL La Laque Couture Nail Lacquer ($27.00) in Jaune Babouche was on my list, but at the last minute I opted for…

There is something ridiculously classy about Victoria Beckham… When I found out that she had collaborated with Nails Inc for nail polish, I knew I had to have it. I looked all around and it turns out, the color I was most interested in, Bamboo White, was sold out everywhere! But Alas! I have found it online at Macys.com!! I…

Hey-oh! Just in time for the holidays, I bring you Essie’s Toggle to the Top, which is apparently part of their winter collection from last year. I saw them on a whim in CVS when I was figuring out what to get because I needed cash back. I caught this out of the corner of my eye—and how could I…

I didn’t plan on shopping today, but hey, when in Rome! Actually, it was Virginia… Does Rome have Korean makeup stores? Hmm… Well apparently, Virginia does! Here’s what I pulled in today! TONYMOLY TONYNAIL Nail Polish in… Actually I have no idea what the name is because the entire bottle is in Korean. I did see something about D12 on…

I stopped biting my nails when I was about eight years old. Some adult woman told me that if I kept putting my hands in my mouth, I was going to get cancer in the mouth and my lips would fall off. That was very effective for me. To this day, I can’t stand to see people putting their hands…

Happy Sunday Funday everyone! I wanted to share with you all one of my newest go-to nail polishes! It’s Jacqueline by Zoya. At first I didn’t think the color would complement my skin tone– it’s so hard to find the perfect nude color for me. But I think I found it! The thing I love about it, is that it…

Alright you guys. This is just as lovely as I’d thought it would be. I actually don’t have another color similar to this to compare it to. But it’s gawjuss! Great spring color! Zoya describes it as “a full-coverage, soft and delicate pale baby blue with a glossy creme finish. A dreamy, calming blue that’s both fun and flattering on…
