FALL DARKNESS

I've been bitten by the nail polish bug. Well, I've always had a knack for finding some unique colors. But dark nail polish is truly the way to go. Farewell to the neon and bright colors that summer brought, and hello to the deep hues autumn has bestowed upon us.

I've added 4 new nail polishes to my ever-so-abundant collection, and I am very pleased they are in my possession. The first was a great $2 find produced by the wallet-friendly E.L.F. cosmetics. It is a black nail polish with the tiniest flecks of green glitter. It was an impulse buy, but it was dark enough to calm my oh-so-dark soul. -__- I can't wait to use this when it comes closer to the holiday season! Sonia Kashuk has made an impression on me with the color "All Vamped"--a creamy dark red color that almost looks like a mauve-purple when you apply a good 2-3 coats. It's so gloomy and for $5, this will look great when wearing a plain white tee and distressed denim. "Haute Couture Red" from Loreal's new and improved line of nail polishes is an even deeper blood red, also at $5. I feel like it would look amazeballs with the layered outfits I have planned out for winter! The last color is the $7.50 "Stylenomics" from Essie's new fall 2012 collection. This dark teal will add something new to my nail polish collection, as I have no other colors similar to it. It's still dark enough for fall, and I'm excited to flaunt this baby on an autumn date night!

I'm a happy camper. Hooray for dark nail polish fever!
