Autumn Theme Week - Day 5 - Fall Skittles

Nothing to Disclose

♥

Today's offering for the last day of Autumn Theme Week, a themed nail art week I'm participating in with some lovely blogger friends, is an autumnal skittles mani.

The easiest fall mani EVER is anything, topped with Nubar 2010. The color-shifting flakes in that one just scream fall to me.

It really pops over black.

For this one, I just did a skittles mani using (thumb to pinkie) Pure Ice Drive Me Crazy, Kleancolor Fashionista, Milani Dark Coffee, Wet n Wild Black Creme and Chanel Rouge Rubis.

Check out the other great Autumn-themed manis in the links below!

Autumn Theme Week - Day One Autumn Waterfall

Nothing to Disclose

♥

Today starts a themed nail art week I'm participating in with some lovely fellow bloggers! Autumn Week!

I already did my "yearly Autumn mani" here and an extra Autumn Extend-A-Mani guest post over at KBShimmer's blog here but I love Fall so it's fun to keep it going with an entire week of it! Especially since today is the first day (and probably the only day) it feels like Fall here!

Today I have a quick "waterfall" NOTD Autumn mani for you...

I used a base of orange (Pure Ice Drive Me Crazy) and just randomly sponged on yellow (Milani Yellow Whiz), brown (Milani Dark Coffee), green (Barry M Emerald Green) and red (Wet n Wild Rudy-dolph) and followed with random stripes of the brown and green using a striping brush.

This is "my kind of nail art" because you can't really go wrong with it and there are no hard and fast rules. And to me, it looks really autumnal!

What do you think? Something you feel comfortable trying?

Be sure and check out the other great Autumn manis in the links below and check back every day this week for more Autumn-themed manis!

KBShimmer Fall 2013 Collection - Swatches and Review

Press Sample 

*These products are Cruelty Free 

♥

You may have seen the press release this morning and even some swatches already but as promised, I have all seven of the new KBShimmer Fall 2013 Collection for you now!

Here's what KBShimmer had to say:

KBShimmer is excited to announce the addition of seven new fall colors to their 3-Free glitter polish line. Owner Christy Rose says “With a bit of chill in the morning and school buses out in force, I can’t help feel that fall is almost here. I am ready put away the neon and embrace the warmer, softer tones that accent the feeling of Autumn.”

“The fall KBShimmer line up has a bit for everyone, from the glitter lover to those that want a more subtle look.” says Rose. “We are again expanding our matte line with both a fun cranberry red, and a blue toned gray. For those that love the look of jelly polishes, we offer three versions in black, red, and a blue with hints of purple. A white crelly, and a unique teal with heavy pink shimmer completes the new collection. We think this is our most diverse collection yet, and the perfect start to the season.”

Dior Galaxie #992 - Swatches and Review

Nothing to Disclose

*This product may not be Cruelty Free 

♥

Tonight I have one more new Dior polish for you. This time it's Dior Galaxie #992, which is one of 3 new polishes in the Mystic Metallics Collection for Fall 2013.

The other two, Destin (taupe metallic) and Mystic Magnetics (teal green magnetic), haven't made it to me yet. These are the types I need to see in person. Pretty sure I'll get Destin and pretty sure I won't get Mystic Magnetics (if that's for sure the name) but I've surprised myself before.

Galaxie #992 is a deep, rich raisin shimmer. The shimmer is clearly visible on the nail in most lighting, but in the shade at arm's length, it just looks like a purple-toned brown creme. The formula and application were perfect. No issues to report at all and if I had to run out of the house in a hurry, I feel like I could get by with one coat but it's best with two coats and a top coat. All photos are with two coats - some with top coat (Poshe) and some without.

Dior Rouge #999 - Swatches and Review

Nothing to Disclose 

*This product may not be Cruelty Free 

♥

Well I was pretty excited to be getting Dior Nuit 1947 #970 polish in my Sephora package today. But alas, they messed up and didn't send it. The only one of the 4 polishes Dior is promoting for their Fall 2013 Rouge Collection that is actually new. Well I think it's new and I think it's the only one of the four that isn't a re-promote.

So THIS is Dior Rouge #999...

I'll be showing you Dior Rouge #999 instead. This one is the old #999 Red Royalty/Rouge Altesse. But I can't be too sad because it is a gorgeous red creme. Nearly a one-coater. In fact, I'll show you one coat! Also I have a comparison at the end with a few other reds you may already have: Zoya Livingston, Chanel Dragon and Illamasqua Throb. So stay with me 'til the end!

Rouge 999 (Red Royalty 999) is a gorgeous red creme that, like Chanel Dragon, is hard to call as far as whether it's a blue-based red or an orange-based red. It looks different in different lighting as you can see in the photo above. It's probably the most "middle of the road" red shade that I have. No issues at all with formula or application.

The Cashmere Collection consists of 6 new cremes for Fall.

So I did a little Autumn nail art - a free-hand plaid using all 6 shades and they are perfect. My manicure, since it's free-hand, is a bit "off-KILTer" though. Hehehe!
