Makeup Monday: My Fall Nail Polish Picks

-
Well, it has been too long since I've done a nail post on Makeup Monday so, I decided to share my favorite Fall nail polish picks. These polishes are from last year's collections but are still available in stores. I am including these polishes because I love them for both the shades and formulas of each collection. If you aren't able to find any of these specific shades, I would love to know what duplicate shades for any color that you found!

1. Nude

My Pick:
China Glaze  
Innocent, #202

This color looks great as a base for a french manicure or alone. During the Fall season, the weather tends to dry out your hands, which can leave your skin looking dull. Nude nails create the illusion of tan, healthy hands.








2. Mauve

My Pick:
NYC In a Minute 
Park Ave, #246

I love purple and using mauve polish is a great way to continue to wear purple during the Fall season. This color is just beautiful and the finish is very shiny. And it does dry pretty quickly!


Here is a nail art design that I did recently using this color as a base.

















 3. Red

My Pick:
Wet n Wild
Red Red, #C414A

This shade is a Cosmo girl pick for red polish. The formula is thick, and the color reminds me of an old classic car. I typically wear red polish nearing the end of Fall but it is definitely a color that can be worn year-round.








4. Dark Brown

My Pick:
L'Oreal 
Breaking Curfew, #404

Fall is probably the only time that I wear brown polish and I love this shade! The color almost looks black but has red undertones in the light. I would highly recommend the L'Oreal nail polishes because the formula is amazing for being drug store brand polish!







5. Black

My Pick:
Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure
Onyx

Black is definitely becoming a classic nail polish color that can be worn year-round! Black polish especially looks good against all of the reds, yellows, and browns that we tend to wear in Fall. I really like the Complete Salon Manicure polishes by Sally Hansen because the formula contains a nail strengthener within the polish, which helps with growth and reduces chipping.

    Love the nude and mauve colors! Does the red nail color come off say when you're folding letters? I wore a deep red polish in my early 20's when I worked in the mail room of an office. When I had to fold stacks of letters to stuff into envelopes, the red would leave streak on the letters. But that was a LONG time ago (40 years) so is this a problem with new polishes?

      LOL yes that happens with a lot of the colors that I pick. When I know that I have to do some type of mailing, I tend to keep my nails bare. I also like to give my nails a break from painting sometimes but then they all start to break.

Trial Tuesday: Removing Printed Labels From Plastic

So if you have been following my blog. you know that I have really been getting more organized in 2015. One way that I continue to add new items to my home is to recycle the products that I use. Recently, I came across this Pin that I wanted to try out for baking ingredient storage: find this tutorial on www.hometalk.com Now while this idea is very clever I wasn't sure if I would use paint to redo the cans that I have. This got me thinking about another Pin that I saw on Pinterest about removing printed labels with nail polish remover. Found on www.2busybrunettes.com After I saw this Pin, I checked it out on YouTube and with thin plastic, it does work. With this in mind I wondered if I could remove the label from the Folgers Container. Which brings us to this weeks trial. TRIAL What You Will Need: Before: Directions: Fold a piece of paper towel and soak it in nail polish remover.  Place nail polish soaked paper towel on the label for 5 minutes....

Trial Tuesday: Removing Scratches From Wood

If you haven't figured it out by now, furniture is not made like it used to be. For this reason, when looking for wooden pieces I usually opt for the old, heavy wooden pieces over the plywood of today. So, when I look for furniture, it's typically at a thrift store or rummage sale. I take such pride in finding pieces and repurposing them. You can take something old and make it like new with a little effort. While repainting furniture can be fun, it is even better when you find a piece that just needs a good cleaning. So when I came across the Pin below, I was very curious to see if this technique worked. TRIAL What You Will Need 1/2 Cup Olive Oil 1/2 Cup Vinegar Wash Cloth Before Directions Mix vinegar and oil. Use a wash cloth to apply the mixture to your scratch. Repeat steps if necessary. After Results: FAIL Note that literally nothing happens. Now, while this scratch is pretty deep, isn't that the point? I did try thi...
