Update and Polish of the Week!

Hi, everyone! I know, 2 months to the date, right? I'm so sorry! I started my new job and I have been so focused on the orientation process that I'm completely exhausted by the time I come home! But now that I'm getting into the swing of things fairly well, I hope to get back to regular postings!!

Ok, so I don't know about the rest of you, but I am a Christmas freak! I started gearing up for Christmas the day after Halloween! I freakin' love Christmas! So, this week's polish of the week comes from O.P.I.'s new Holiday Wishes collection. Say hello to Shim-Merry Chic!

I wasn't quite sure what to think of this color when I first got it. I like the overall color, but what I really liked were the flakes of different color in it. It's not like any other color I have, so buying it was a must!

You can find this color at:

Amazon.com : $5.35

8ty8 Beauty : $4.48

ULTA stores : $8.50

Let me know what you think!

Until next time, XOXO!

I'm Back & Polish of the Week: OPI You Don't Know Jacques

Hi, everyone! I know, it's been forever! But I just got my computer back! I've been without it for about three weeks and I felt like I was going to die - I'm a little too attached to this thing! :)

This week's nail polish color is one you might remember from my haul post I wasn't initially thrilled with the color, but guess what? - I love it!!! It might be one of my new favorite fall polishes. It's a creamy grayish-taupe color, and has great coverage. Just your two coats and you're ready to go! This isn't the matte color that OPI recently came out with, though. It's from their fall collection last year - La Collection de France, I believe. I'm dying to try out their matte colors, but I'm having a hard time trying to find them locally! I'm cheap and don't like to pay for shipping when I can drive to find what I'm looking for! What do you guys think?

Nail Polish Haul for Y'all!

Hi, Beauties! As much as I hate it, the glorious days of summer are coming to an end. Soon, we will be saying good-bye to the hot pinks, bright corals, and fantastics teals & turquoise-colored nails that we have been able to flaunt over the past few months, and hello to the rich golds, browns, and burgundies that define fall. So, I kept that in mind as I was browsing my local Sally's & ULTA stores, searching for new polish. Like I really need any more, right? But they had such gorgeous colors to bring in the fall season that I couldn't resist!

The first color is called Unplugged. It's a very rich brown-bronze sparkly color. Very pretty! Definitely looking forward to wearing this one!

Next up is In Awe of Amber. It looks orange in the picture, but it is actually a golden/bronze color. It kind of reminds me of the Scatterays solar bits from MAC's Style Warriors collection. This color can easily be transitioned from summer to fall. Beautiful!!

This one is one of my favorites! It's called Avalanche, and it is awesome! It's a purple enhanced platinum with a lot of shine!

This one is OPI's You Don't Know Jacques. It's a matte taupe. I'm not quite sure if I'm really feeling this one. I liked it in the store, but now that I look at it at home, I just don't know!

This one is called Black Diamond. It's very similar to OPI's "Baby It's Coal Outside!" The only difference is that this one is not quite as sparkly! I love black/dark polish. Some people think it's a little gothic, but I think is glamorous!

I know this next one isn't a fall type color, but I've been eyeing it for a while. It's Melon of Troy. It's a beautiful shimmery apricot color. Very feminine and pretty!

How in the world I have bypassed this color for so long, I do not know! I mean, look at it! It's called Coconut Kiss. A vibrant shimmery grape color. Another really great transition color!

The whole she-bang! I'm so excited!

You can be sure that these will be coming up soon in my Polish of the Week posts!

On another note, I will be on vacation next week! I'm so excited! I will be heading to the North Carolina eastern coast for a week! So looking forward to sun and relaxation! I will try to have some posts scheduled, but I can't promise. But I will back and posting regularly the following week!

Until next time, XOXO!!

My new love!

Ok, rarely do I find a styling tool that works for my hair. I have a lot of hair, but it is very fine and silky - not unlike a five-year-old child's hair. It is nearly impossible to find a tool that will actually do something to it! Hot rollers are a waste of time and the curls of a curling iron generally fall out within a couple of hours! But this product is a God-send!

Behold, the Professional Syling Iron Limited Edition by Zoe:


I bought it from ULTA for $29.99! A great deal! Plus, I love the funky design on it! It has 1" tourmaline ceramic plates (which gives my hair incredible shine), and is ideal for those cool summery beach waves, loose curls, or sleek, chic straightness! It also comes with a cute thermal pouch for traveling...I hate waiting for my curling irons to cool before I pack them up to leave for a trip. I have been known to stick them in the refrigerator to speed up the cooling process! LOL! I cannot tell you how much I love this tool! The best part: my style holds! My waves or curls last all day long!
