Orly Terra Mauve Swatch

This is Orly Terra Mauve.  This is a part of their permanent collection but it just kind of jumped out at me when I was looking fall colors.  This is a unique color, it's a muted simple creme polish but the color is hard to describe.  In some lights it's a dark pinkish mauve and in some lights it looks more like a dusty purple.  I think this color will be perfect for fall, I'm picturing pairing with taupes and champagnes :)

Orly Darkest Shadow Swatch- Smoky Collection Fall 2014

Today I have a polish from the Orly Smoky Collection (Fall 2014) called Darkest Shadow.    Same disclosure as the last one, pictures do NO justice for this polish.  I don't know why it was so hard to photograph but in real life it is gorgeous! 

Orly Smoked Out Swatch- Smoky Collection Fall 2014

Today I have polish from the Orly Smoky Collection (Fall 2014) called Smoked Out.  Let me go ahead and say that pictures do NO justice for this polish.  I don't know why it was so hard to photograph but in real life it is gorgeous!

Fall Gradient

Who else super excited about fall weather & Halloween?! It's hit the mid 60s-mid 70s for the majority of days now and it feels so good to walk outside and not be drenched in 5 minutes. It also means fall and Halloween manis :)

Indoor with Flash, Wrapped With Mummy Cloth

Neutral Cheetah

Let me start by saying I am not a fan of any animal prints, never have been.  However, seeing work/play/polish's cheetah mani has completely changed my mind.  As I write this I am wearing cheetah print pajama pants. Oh, how the mighty have fallen.

Turkey Day Nails

 Hope y'all have a great Thanksgiving! Here are my Thanksgiving nails :)

 

One coat Wet N Wild Megalast Wet Cement, 2 coats Ulta Chocolate Kiss, one coat Finger Paints Fall of Surprises and one coat nyc matte topcoat.

Love how this matted glitter looks! The chocolate kiss is very sheer which is why i used the wet cement under it. This is my first matte manicure and while i love the look, the tip wear us horrible, not even had it on 12 hours and have touched up tips once and they need it again!

Copper Glitz

This is last week's mani, never got a chance to post it last week!

 

It was incredibly bright and i kept meaning to matte coat it and never got around to it.

 

 This is one coat Pure Ice Iced Copper, two coats Finger Paints Fall of Surprises and one coat Sally Hansen Insta-dri Topcoat. I love how this copper glitter applies, very dense, with no fishing or dabbing to place the hexes.
