my favorite nail polishes for fall!

hello, beauties ~ hope you had a fabulous weekend! i certainly did {at-home pampering, shopping for beauty goodies with my daughter, etc}, and today is holiday {thank you vets!}, so i have no complaints...

i'm here, as you already know from the title, to share the polishes i'm currently loving for this time of year. not all of them are new, but they're the shades that i'm truly in love with ~ it's a fun, random mix…

take a look!

Zoya Riley is a fab red raspberry creme that looks good with everything. it has a bit of a purple undertone and is simply stunning.

Wallis, the metallic olive gold from Butter London is an absolute must-have! how i fell in love with this shade was such a surprise to me when it was first released and it remains a favorite.

another from Butter, is Giddy Kipper... i love this shimmery indigo.

 FingerPaints Bare No Secrets, a sparkly neutral that i love and it just so happens to have been created by my blogger friend, Michelle from All Lacquered Up.

Wet N Wild Bite the Bullet is a dusty purple, just neutral enough to look fab with anything.

Sally Hansen Pat on the Black, the perfect deep plum-black. a classic!

essie Parka Perfect
new for winter 2013, i received this recently from the brand's PR and it's gorgeous. i hope you can see the shimmer. this icy blue is really making me happy; it's not a deep shade, but obviously a perfect one  for the cold weather months.


what are your fall nail polish faves?! please share in the comments or tweet me @thebeautygirl :)

nail color of the week: Zoya Tao

fresh from the fall Smoke and Mirrors collection, i picked up Tao and Jem {will share that beauty soon!}, along with some other things from a recent trip to my local Ulta...

well, it's 30 minutes away, but definitely worth the drive!

Tao is a gorgeous metallic, light smokey grey that leans a bit toward blue, giving it a very edgy, rock and roll vibe...

yet another reason to love the fall season.

have you seen the Zoya Smoke and Mirrors collection yet? it's gorgeous! i can't decide which shade i am loving most-- they are all fabulous.

check out this video, featuring various runway looks that inspired each new shade.



which shade {if not all!} has caught your attention??

nail color of the week: Zoya Kelly

gray is not only a hot "trendy" color right now, but it's become my personal color obsession over the past few months. this fabulous shade, Kelly by Zoya, is keeping my tips looking tres chic and modern while catering to my gray-loving self.

indoors with flash, left; outdoors, cloudy day with flash, right

the brand describes Kelly as a rich gray shade with soft purple and blue undertones, and that sums it up perfectly. i love that Kelly is deep, but not too dark (it's a great alternative to black), and is a fabulous choice when you are wanting to wear something neutral without being traditional.

Spring 2009: Zoya Twist Nail Color Collection

while there are some fabulous nail color collections out for the spring season, Zoya's latest collection, Twist, caught my attention first. the colors are quite unique for a spring line, and if you don't want them all, you'd be lying to say you didn't at least want one!

i myself am loving Cassi, the pinky-peach shimmer, and of course there's Jo, a fabulous blue shimmer, and i can't get enough of Moxie, such a pretty red-plum, oh! and Barbie, because i love pink...

any of these colors will look great for seasons to come, so if you see any that you like, visit zoya.com to get them while you can before they're gone!

...i think i love Harley as well, i mean what a fabulous shimmery grey...but of course, there's Malia, too, a yummy violet creme....

Zoya fall 2008 collections

fall style can be tricky to navingate, so why not take a time out from all of it and check out some fabulous colors from Zoya's Fall 2008 Vibe and Pulse collections?

each distinct on it's own, but utterly complimentary, these darker hues play into our anticipation of all that is fall. the Vibe collection consist of all creamy reds, burgundys and browns. Pulse livens things up a bit with metallic shades of plums and berries.

check out swatches from both collections on scrangie.com and buy at zoya.com

nail color of the week: Zoya Indigo

another pick of Jamie's, this Zoya color is fabulous. Indigo is dark enough to be mistaken for black, but still blue enough (with just the right amount of sparkle) to make you feel like you're not wearing black nail polish.

my kids looked at my hands and said "what are you wearing?" then decided it was "cool" (gee, thanks kids). hubby said he didn't hate it, and if i liked it then it wasn't a big deal (o-ka-ayy...).

so there were mixed reviews from the fam on this one, but i like it! it's definitely different, and stepping out of my regular routine (pale pinks, hot pinks and purple) is good for me to do once and awhile.

nail color of the week: Zoya Tobi

Jamie, my friend, and writer of The Beauty of Life, had a fabulous promotion going on a few weeks ago with Zoya. through this promotion, you could receive three of her picks for free with the purchase of any Zoya or Qtica product.

i shared it with you, remember? did you take advantage? have no clue what i'm talking about? well...



moving along, i did take advantage of this offer and ended up with some fabulous nail colors!

one of them was Tobi, an amazing cool pink that dries to a beautiful, creamy finish.

a great color to wear year-round in my opinion!

thanks Jamie!
