Top 5 Nail Polish Picks for Fall

Here are my top 5 picks for fall nail polish!

OPI Malaga Wine
This feels like a real grown up red. This is a deep red with a hint of burgundy but it feels very rich and warm - great for the cold weather.

Revlon Plummy
I love berry colors for lipstick, blush, clothing and nails! This is a brighter plummy color with hints of fushia. It's a real fun color and I love wearing this on my toes as well.

Essie Velvet Voyage
This is a deep deep plum that almost looks black on the nails (especially if you wear 2 coats). I absolutely love this shade and I think i've almost gone through half the bottle which is rare. It's definitely my go-to shade for Fall/Winter.

Essie Smokin' Hot
This is the new addition to my nail polish collection of the bunch (the other 4 have been loved for over a year at least) and it's a great neutral nail that goes with everything. I love the dark grey and looks great for work and just feels like winter.

Chanel 505 Particuliere
This is a classic Chanel nail polish shade that is a minky brown color. It's a great alternative for a nude nail especially if you have more of a medium skin tone. It just feels super sophisticated and I love wearing it! It's a little pricier but it's nice treating yourself once in awhile!

P.S. I've got my eye on Essie After School Boy Blazer...

OPI Koala Berry

As soon as Miranda Kerr mentioned OPI Koala Berry as a favorite nail polish color, I knew I had to own it. Immediately. I mentioned this polish in a Makeup Wishlist post and can happily check this one off the list! The color is a little bit more berry toned in person and even though its a pinky shade it feels quite sophisticated. It's definitely a type of color you can wear all year round and I can easily see myself wearing this all throughout August. I currently have it on my fingers and toes!

Makeup Wishlist #1

Here is my current makeup wishlist. I love lists in general. I love making lists and cross them off. Here are a few makeup bits I've got my eyes on.

1. Chanel Illusion D'Ombre Ebloui 86
I just saw Lisa Eldridge use this eyeshadow in a Chanel tutorial and done - I'm sold. I have the Chanel Illusion D'Ombre eyeshadow in Emerveille but currently with my tan skin it looks way too light on my eyelids. It looks like a warm reddy burgendy shade that I think will really compliment brown eyes.

2. Kevyn Aucoin The Creamy Glow - Tansoleil
After a friend recommended this cream blush it's been on my wishlist ever since. I really do need to swatch it first because I'm afraid it's a little too light for my skintone right now but it looks beautiful and I really want to try all the creme blushes in the world. Love them.

3. Sunday Riley Ceramic Slip Cleanser
I first heard about this cleanser from Pixiwoo's talk with Caroline Hirons on youtube. It's been on my radar ever since. The Ceramic Slip Cleanser is supposed to purify the skin, tighten pores and stimulate collagen and circulation while balancing the skin giving it a "ceramic-smooth" look. I need to try this soon.

4. MAC lipstick - Plumful
I've heard this from a lot of my favorite bloggers (Essiebutton, Lily Pebbles and From Head to Toe). I love berry/plumy colors for the lips so I'm adding this to my long list of lip products I need/want.

5. OPI Nail Polish - Koala Berry
Miranda Kerr featured this nail polish in her Intothegloss interview. Enough said.

6. RMS Beauty Living Luminizer
I have been loving RMS beauty products. Even though I only have the Lip2cheek color in Promise, I really want to get my hands on more. I love this highlighter and I also have Lip2cheeck color in Smile and Sacred on my list.

Samoan Sand

One of my favorites nude nail polishes is OPI Samoan Sand. I have always been on the hunt to find the perfect nude for my skin tone and here it is! I love this polish when my skin is a bit paler but it's seriously like the perfect nude. It's not too pink and not too yellow. It's a really neutral flesh tone that looks incredibly chic and sophisticated. It's a "my nails but better" kinda shade. Only downside is it does take me about 3 coats to get a more opaque coat so it is quite a sheer polish. I have heard people compare this with Essie, Topless and Barefoot so I'm interested in trying that out as well! (I used to wear Essie Jazz or Essie Sand Tropez but they are much more grey.)
