Favorite Fall Nail Polish Colors

In my constant pursuit of bringing autumn into Florida I have a little collection of nail polishes that I love to  wear every year that makes it feel a little more like Fall.

Starting from the index finger

Sally Hansen Diamond Strength No Chip Nail Color- This is in 460 Save the Date and it's a really nice plum color with small shimmer bits

Mark- Saffron. burnt gold. lovely. moving on

Mark- (haha these two came in a little sample box and I love them both) This one is called Mint Tea. Olive green. gorgeous.

Lastly I have a CHI nail polish and I have no clue if they still make nail polishes because I got this at the GoodWill Oops.  it's one of my favorites called Late Night Dinner In Soho, an amazing navy and  if I'm ever in Soho SOMEONE PLEASE remind me to wear this nail polish regardless of season.






The color of the polish and the color of the print on the bottle don't mix :(

What are your favorite nail polishes for fall ? Xx Lazylittleliz

Gel Nail Manicure, Worth the Hype?

       For a school dance I went to go get my nails done going in wanting acrylic nails to get some length out of them. Talked into it, by flattery, I got the gel nails the one where they paint the nail and then stick it under a UV light. After my manicure I liked the end result, a simple French manicure with a glittery ring finger.  I immediately went home and did research as to what this offers over getting acrylic nails or just a normal manicure.

  Here's what I found: 

  • It's long lasting
  • They do not chip
  • They are healthier for the natural nail than acrylics 
  • They look more natural than acrylics
  • cheaper 
  • takes less time

Here's what I experienced the good:

  • They do dry quickly
  • They look like my natural nail because it is 
  • It's healthier because it's nail polish not acrylic
  • they last an incredible amount of time
  • it did take about half the time of getting acrylic nails
  • cost less 


The bad: 

  • They chip!! I repeat they Chip like CRAZY
  • even though they are "dry" I got bits and pieces stuck on them and I can't  scratch it off 
I did have my issues with this manicure but over all it's great! It's cheaper, better, and it will last a long time I love my nails and will definitely see what other colors my local nail salon has! Xx Lazylittleliz
