Mani-Monday Fall Edition

I'm linking up with Glitter & Gloss for Mani-Monday.  I've been wearing several new colors in my favorite fall hues the past few weeks.  This time of year you will mostly find purples of all hues, magenta, or dark raisin/cranberry colors on my nails.

A few of my recent favorites have included: Zoya Reece, Zoya, Zoya Carey, Zoya Katherine, Zoya Lotus, Zoya Toni, and OPI Bogota Blackberry.  This week I am going to switch it up with OPI's Don't Mess with OPI, an opaque green shade.

This is not a color I would wear very often but it is fun and different than the usual Fall colors I go for.  It did go on nicely and hasn't chipped too badly in the 24 hours I've had it on.

Mani-Monday: New Ulta Polishes

Ulta was having a sale this past week of their Salon Formula polishes for $2!  I've never used this brand before so I figured a sale would be a good time to pick up a few colors to try out.  The base color is an opaque grapey purple called Tutu Cute and the multi-colored glitter I used on my ring fingers is called Piñata-Yada-Yada.

Mani Monday: Ready For Summer

I'm linking up my latest manicure with Heather Dawn and Heather for their Mani Monday series.  This week, I chose an Essie polish that was one of the more popular colors last summer, Turquoise and Caicos.  I have loved it every time I have seen it featured on blog posts and finally bought my own bottle.  This was my first bottle of Essie polish and I found it to be kind of thin and runny.  I needed three coats of polish to get the coverage I desired.

I love the color and this polish will definitely be a staple of my summer manicures.  Have you ever tried it?  Have you found other Essie polishes to be really thin and watery?

Mani Monday: Teenage Dream

I'm linking up with Heather from Glitter & Gloss and Heather from Just Love.ly for Mani Monday.

I choose OPI's Teenage Dream for this week's manicure.  I bought it back around the holidays and I just love it.  It layers beautifully over light pink polish or stands out by itself with lots of sparkle if you use two coats.  Just make sure to use a good top coat so you won't feel the texture of all that glitter.
