Fall Nail Color: Is It Time For A Change?


Everyone knows I love summer. I love the beach, having a suntan and wearing bright colors. My love of wearing bright color extends to my manis and pedis. It always makes me a little sad the day I look down at my fingers or toes and say "it's time to retire Strawberry Margarita" (or Cajun Shrimp).


Recently, I have invested in a few new polishes for fall and winter. With the addition of these to my current polish wardrobe, I am gradually embracing the darker color palettes. While the temperatures are still 70-80 degrees, it is late October, after all! 


The following polishes will be in heavy rotation from now until late February...from Left to Right in above photo:


"Going Incognito" by Essie
"Vodka and Caviar" by OPI
"Steel-Ing The Scene" by Essie
"I'm Not Really A Waitress" by OPI
"Lincoln Park After Dark" by OPI
"OPI Red" by OPI


Now I am considering the addition of a blue polish to the lineup - what do you think? I actually like both of these and haven't been able to decide. 


"Yoga-ta Get This Blue" by OPI
"Road House Blues" by OPI


Which color do you like? Are you scared of blue nails? I have to admit - I'm not totally sold on the blue. Then again, I wasn't sold on that green Essie before I purchased it either. And I love it now...Go figure! Is it time for you to change your nail polish wardrobe?


Have a great day!

    I have OPI Russian Navy, which is a really similar color to the ones you chose above. I love it because its a little bit sparkly. Its dark, but its obviously not black, and I love it!

    I like them both, but if I had to pick I'd go with the second one. It's a great dark blue that can pass as almost black.

    OK, not one of the options you gave but have you SEEN Chanels new blue polishes?
    And I my have too much time on my hands but I've been doing ombre manis on myself in graduating shades of browns to milky taupes. Love!

    I'm not sure about blue nail polish to be honest. I do like the bottom one a lot more than the top one. I still need to try OPI's Lincoln Park After Dark. I need to order it online. Nail polish is crazy expensive here. A bottle of OPI is 16€!

    Turtles & Pearls - I will have to look at the Russian Navy this weekend in Ulta! Thanks for the suggestion! :-)

    Wendy - I think you are right - I'm leaning towards the second choice! :-)

    KT - that sounds awesome! How creative! :-) P.S. I stopped with the Chanel polish several years ago...it doesn't stay on my nails longer than a few hours! Crazy!

    MRM - Wish I could send you some polish from here! That USPS has funky rules about shipping nail polish....ugh! But get LPAD - you'll LOVE IT! :-)

    Mrs. K - thanks for your kind words! Don't forget to follow SIA via google friend connect! :-)

    Just tried a deep purplely-blue for Halloween. My kids are NOT impressed, so I guess I'll have to stick with Sun Body Loves me until Strawberry Margarita is back for the spring!

    And... Thanks for all your prayers and sweet comments!

Birthday Celebration: Lilly Pulitzer Giveaway from The Pink Pelican

Image
Today I will celebrate my birthday. I'm a little bit sad to report, the DH is out of town and won't be able to come home for the festivities. Not that it's a big deal or anything (not a milestone birthday or anything), but I am a LEO and y'all know it's true - Leos love their birthday. I'm no exception! Tonight I will celebrate with my sister and BFF by going out to dinner, and tomorrow with birthday cake and gifts with my parents, nephews and friends. I'm so thankful for it all, but I'm going to miss my sweetie. :-(  My friends at The Pink Pelican in Huntsville have generously offered a giveaway to commemorate the day!  Most of you know, they are one of my favorite Lilly Pulitzer Via shops and I buy lots of my Lilly from Angie and The Pelican Crew! I love knowing that I am supporting a small, female owned business. In today's economy, I think that is very important. If you are considering any purchases from the new Lilly Pulitzer Fall 2011 line...

***Just in time to celebrate the holiday season, Shopaholic In Alabama has partnered with favorite brands and designers to bring you a series of festive giveaways! In addition to giveaways, there will be Shopaholic Special discounts to help with your holiday shopping! Please join me today in welcoming The Tracy Negoshian!*** You have probably noticed from previous posts that Tracy Negoshian is quickly becoming one of my favorite designers. During recent Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales, I ordered so many new dresses and tunics, it was like an early Christmas present when they all arrived.  Tracy's designs are a favorite of preppy girls everywhere. They are easy to wear - the comfy jersey fabric is flowy, but somehow fitted just enough to be feminine. Many of the items I ordered work for all seasons here at the beach. Just last week, I wore the Sheada Tunic Dress is Navy Life Preserver to a casual holiday gathering. Say "hi" to Phillip and Angie - these two ke...
