It’s Fall time again!
I love Fall. It’s time for cozy sweaters, warm colors and Pumpkin Spice Lattes!
But, of course, I live in Southern California so I don’t actually get to experience real Fall, so I make up for the 100 degree weather we’re still getting with nail polish!
For me Summer is about neons and tomato reds and brights, I have happy hands! Spring is similar but much more pastel. Winter for me is sucky, I don’t like it - it’s cold! (Here I am complaining about not actually having seasons and when we do finally have something other than summer weather, I hate it!) So I like sparkles and rich colors - deep reds, navys, sparkles for holidays. But when it comes to Autumn I wear colors that are so unlike me. Muted purples and greens, greige, beige and grey. And these colors really blend into winter really well!
So anyway, here are my Fall picks for nail polish!
Estee Lauder Pure Color 26 Metallic Sage - muted sage with brown/gold glitter throughout
MAC On The Prowl (from the Hello Kitty collection) - blue toned grey
OPI Skull and Glossbones - Cement grey with a hint of green
OPI You Don’t Know Jaques (A favorite for many years!) The original greige
Sephora by OPI To The Glitter End - blue grey steel sparkle, great for winter too!
Essie Miss Fancy Pants - A neutral taupe leaning a little purple
Essie St. Lucia Lilac - Is it grey? Is it lilac? A great mix of the two
Chanel Paradoxal - another taupe, brown, purple with purple shimmer throughout
Orly Nite Owl - A beige with a hint of grey and silver shimmer
China Glaze Sea Spray - A greyed blue
Deborah Lippmann Stormy Weather a deep, almost black, grey that leans green on me
AND
Sally Hansen Coco a Go Go - a rich brown red with shimmer, a true fall color

I’ve been seeing pictures of people’s desks in my feed recently, so I thought I would join in!
1. My at-home-manicure staples: OPI Chip Skip, Orly Bonder Rubberized Base Coat, Essie No Chips Ahead and Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat
2. My Sephora 200 point VIB gift St. Tropez gradual tanner. I really like it so far.
3. Misc. Apple stuff; Magic Mouse, Original iPhone dock, Magic Trackpad
4. My gallon water bottle that is currently empty
5. My pink Nintendo Game Boy Advance that I recently found
And, yes, that is a UCLA Bruin hanging from a noose in the corner of my room.
