NOTD: Avon Splendid Blue

Avon Splendid Blue

This polish is amazing- I got almost perfect coverage in one coat, but went ahead and did two to get longer-lasting wear.

This is one of the two new holiday shades from Avon.

Right now these are just $5 each. I order from my friend Valeri (email her at bucfanri {at} gmail {dot} com and she may have free shipping codes for you!)

And don't forget to go through Ebates for a percentage back- plus, if you have never used ebates before, you get $5, and I get $5.

NOTD: Avon Pink Radiance

Avon Pink Radiance

This is a shade pic since there was no sun. This is so pretty and the formula was fabulous- perfect coverage in just two coats.

This is one of the two new holiday shades from Avon. I'll have the other shade for you to see in the next few days.

Right now these are just $3.49 each. I order from my friend Valeri (email her at bucfanri {at} gmail {dot} com and she may have free shipping codes for you!)

Essie Winter Collection 2010

Smokin' Hot

Break the rules with this stone-cold fox gray that burns hotter than any flame

Masquerade Belle

Fascinating, mysterious and seductive, this black ruby sparks the imagination and inspires intense devotion

Silken Cord

You've got the world on a string with this stunning risqué red wrapped around your fingers

Hot Coco

Paint on this tawny sepia and channel the roaring '20s for a look that's timelessly flawless

Luxedo

Suit up in this deepest plum and boldly go where no man has gone before

Going Incognito

Your identity may be secret, but your style and panache are impossible to conceal with this deep emerald green

All swatches are two coats, although I think some could have used 3 coats for complete coverage. These are absolutely gorgeous shades for fall, and Hot Coco was definitely my favorite of the collection, followed by Smokin' Hot.

Disclosure: This collection was sent to me for review purposes.

Favorite for Fall

{Indoor}

{Outdoor}

I know it has been posted before, but I adore OPI's Lincoln Park At Midnight. A rich and classic color for this season.

{I painted two coats above and used Wet N Wild's Fast Dry top coat.}

NOTD: China Glaze Mistletoe Kisses

China Glaze Mistletoe Kisses

from the 'Tis the Season to be Naughty and Nice collection

I am in love with this color. I'm normally not a green nail polish fan, but this is beyond fabulous. And I've had great wear with this shade- I painted my nails last Thursday night, took this pic on Friday afternoon, and it's now Monday morning and it still looks great!

I did two coats, topped with Nubar Diamont (old formula).

I love purples and plums and figured I'd love this. While I did love the color, I found the finish to be somewhat bumpy, even with a topcoat. It's not enough to keep me from wearing the color, it was just a strange finish.

This is two coats, topped with Nubar Diamont.

For the pirates ...

I rocked these two Sinful Colors for Halloween ... they went great with my pirate costume! While I myself am not into gold (or mustard-looking) polish, I got some great compliments on the color combo. Sinful Colors in Oledia with gold glitter top-coat (Paris, I believe is the name??).

Very pretty! This leans pink on me rather than red, but I liked it. The glitter looked much more dense indoors than outdoors though.

This is three coats. Topped with Nubar Diamont, the mani lasted about 2 days until it started slightly chipping, which is pretty normal for dense giltters for me. (Painted Saturday night, started chipping Monday night).

NOTD: China Glaze Mummy May I

When I saw China Glaze Mummy May I, I knew I needed to have it! Look at all that gorgeous purple glitter in the bottle!

And even though I didn't think the effect on the nail was the same as in the bottle, I still thought it was pretty.

What do you think?
