Outfit Inspiration: Pop of Purple

I love the color purple! It's feminine without being overly girly like pink can be sometimes!

Love this neon purple nailpolish! Can be bought here.

How cute is this pop of purple on the leopard print flats?

LOVE the purple door! Picture found here.

This is my favorite type of necklace right now! Beautiful! Found here.

Pop of Purple in the the Painting! (That's a lot of P's)

Sunday Love List: Christmas Edition

It's officially Christmas time...the most wonderful time of the year! So, in honor of the holidays, my Sunday Love List features some holiday loves!

1. Holiday Party Dresses
With holiday parties coming up, I'm in search of a cute party dress! I found this dress online at Forever 21 and think it's super cute!

2. Holiday Party Shoes
With a cute party dress, I need cute party shoes! I love these sparkly gold flats from Aldo!

3. Shellac Manicure
If you haven't gotten a Shellac manicure yet, it's a must-do! Last Tuesday I got a Shellac manicure so I didn't have to worry about painting my nails while out of town for Thanksgiving and it still looks perfect! What's so awesome about Shellac is that it doesn't chip and dries super fast! I picked a cherry red color for the holidays!

4. Christmas Ornaments
I love ornaments and decorating my Christmas tree! It's the first thing I do to get me in the holiday spirit! Check out these adorable ornaments from Pottery Barn!

5. Christmas Movies
The Christmas season isn't complete without Christmas movies! My all time favorite Christmas movie is The Santa Clause! (With Elf coming in at a close second!)

Happy Holidays!

Love: Metallic Nail Polish

I've been a nail biter for most of my life. I recently decided to kick the habit, and I've done...alright. When I am not stressed out at work, my nails look great :) One of my recent obsessions have been metallic nail polish. I love that a lot of metallic polishes are neutral colors, they look nice on my skin tone and I think they look great on shorter nails.

I went through my collection and picked my top 5.

 

(left to right: Revlon Copper Penny, Sally Hansen Guilty Pleasure, Orly Rage, Revlon Catty, and Sonia Kashuk Smoke and Mirrors)

Rage by Orly is by far my favorite (and my favorite brand for metallic polish), and probably my most used nail polish. Rage is a beautiful rose gold color. It is opaque after 2 coats and didn't chip easy. Make sure to put down a base coat, it is not easy to get off! Copper Penny comes in a close second, it has a gorgeous rich color and you could probably get away with just one coat, if you are feeling a little lazy!

I think metallic polish can be worn anytime of year, but is quite lovely during the holidays! :)

Happy Painting!
