The new Fall nail colors are beginning to hit the stores now. I must say I am in love with the shimmery metallics being offered.  One of my recent favorite polish colors is Chanel's Particuliere.  The Quartz color of the fall line reminds me a lot of that color.  Peridot reminds me of one of my all time favorite plays - Wicked!  I will definitely be buying those two colors. Be quick in purchasing as they will only be available for a limited time.


What do you think of the new colors?

Now that I have stopped doing the artificial nail thing, I use a LOT of nail polish. Reminds me of my younger days when I changed polish almost every day and earned the nickname "Queenie". That is another story. I was all of 18 or so and didn't have a care in the world. So, I could change polish everyday. I still have the luxury of changing a few times a week, but please don't call me Queenie - LOL.

I get asked alot about what polishes I am wearing. I tend to favor Chanel, Essie and OPI. They just tend to last a bit longer than others.  I just recently discovered the Banana Republic makes a nail polish. I purchased a pinkish red and a blush color on our recent trip to the Cincy Premium Outlet Mall. The next one I want to try is Julep nail polish. above are my go to colors.

I'm always looking for new makeup items. However, it seems that I always go back to my old reliables. Case in point - my mascara. There are two brands that are my favorites:  Chanel and Maybelline. Higher end and lower end, but both do the job for me PERFECTLY.  There is really no rhyme or reason to when I use either.  The Chanel mascara brush is exquisite. I love that it has a rubber brush which allows you get right up to the lash line. What brand of mascara do you use?
