Happy Turkey Day

To my readers who celebrate, happy Thanksgiving!


These are little candles my mom has had since the 70s.

And, because this is a beauty blog, here's what I have on my nails: Sephora by OPI Once a Cheetah, Always a Cheetah which is a ridiculously sparkly orange.

Fall Favorites: Nail Polishes

Here are five nail colors I have pulled out of my stash to wear this autumn.




Sally Hansen Lustre Shine Nail Color in Firefly---duochrome pink copper with slight green shift (that I couldn't capture in the photos!)




Sephora by OPI Nail Color in Once a Cheetah, Always a Cheetah---slightly sheer orange with fine gold glitter (this one reminds me of pumpkins... if they were sparkly, that is)




Sephora by OPI Nail Color in S-age is Just a Number---duochrome bronzy-green with gold shimmer




butter LONDON Nail Lacquer in The Old Bill---rich bronze with silver shimmer





JINsoon Nail Lacquer in Nostalgia---creamy nude pink beige (perfect for giving me mannequin hands, which always seem on trend, regardless of the season)




Here are a couple more photos of the more complex colors.  (They are hard to capture!)

Since I haven't really ventured into the world of nail art, I tend to just wear one color on my nails at a time, so I try to choose colors that look interesting on their own.  I would like to try some of the geometric nail designs I've seen in magazines and on the runways, as well as an ombre manicure.

What do you like to wear on your nails this time of year?

Baby Pink Nails with Gold Glitter Tips

This is another attempt of mine at doing something more interesting on my nails besides one color by itself.  I'm not sure it really could be considered nail art...

I used CoverGirl Outlast Nail Gloss in Pink-finity all over my nails, and then added O.P.I. for Sephora Nail Color in Looks Like Rain, Dear on just the tips of the nails.




Pink-finity is an opaque, cool, light pink.



Looks Like Rain, Dear is a glitter gold that has large holographic glitter pieces as well as small gold glitter.  It is surprisingly un-sheer for a glitter polish.  It seems to have a gold metallic base that gives good color coverage.





Have a gorgeous saturday!!
