Autumn Manicure

Okay, so I've griped so much about not having Fall where I live that you're tired of hearing it.  I know, I know. But we DON'T!

That doesn't stop me from bringing a little Fall to my nails, though, does it? No it does not.

I've done this mani before but I loved it so much (and I'm feeling so deprived of Autumn right now) that I'm bringing it back!

L'Oreal's Owl's Night topped with Nubar 2010 flakies. If this doesn't scream FALL, I don't know what does.

L'Oreal Owl's Night Review and Swatches

I found the latest L'Oreal colors for Fall at my local grocery store, so of course most of them came home with me.

In my opinion, the most interesting is Owl's Night. Various lighting photos:

This is a slightly blackened brown with loads of gold shimmer, which can trick the eye into seeing a flash of murky army green and bronze in certain light.  It's really an interesting color.  It goes on very nicely - great application.  My only issue with this one is tip wear.  It doesn't score big in that category, but I think the color is worth it.

I applied it around 11 pm, slept, showered, had breakfast and already the tip wear was noticeable.  So I layered on a coat of Nubar 2010.

Hello Fall!!!
