Top 5 Holiday Red Nail Polishes

Being that is is the holiday season I wanted to share with you some of my favorite red nail polishes to wear during this time of year. I picked my to 5 that I currently own. I'm excited to wear this especially during Christmas. I promise to do nail of the day posts as soon as I wear all of these colors.

Fall/Winter Nail Polish Collection +Swatches

Since Fall will be here soon I decided to whip out my fall/winter nail polishes. I have a very large collection of nail polish. I think I counted 40 colors that I would wear in the Fall/Winter. That's a lot. I could wear each polish only once if I switched my polish twice a week. So being that's what I counted I'm going to make that my goal. Hopefully you will be seeing NOTD posts at once a week so that I can try and rotate my polishes. I have way more polish during this season as I prefer vampy dark colors. I have a wide variety of polishes from Julep to China Glaze to OPI to Essie to Sinful. So hopefully you can find something that catches your eye in this post. I also tried my best to get you decent photos of the colors. Unfortunately the weather here in NYC has been terrible and I also live in a dark apartment. Plus a lot of the colors are very similar so its hard to tell a difference in some of the darker colors. I hope this gets you all in the mood for Fall.

Nail of the Day: Rimmel English Rose

Today's NOTD is Rimmels Lasting Finish Pro in English Rose. I picked this up at the drugstore recently since I wanted a new fall color nail polish. This is a rose color with brown undertones.  It's just a really pretty fall color. I only had to do 2 coats of this color as it is pretty opaque.

5 Beauty Products I'm Currently Dying to Get My Hands On

My wishlist is always growing and changing. Here are just 5 things I'm currently wishing to get in the month of August. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on these products if you have tried them in case maybe they aren't worth purchasing. These are all products that I have heard really great things about though. Also, I haven't picked up anything yet from my July wishlist post but hope to do so this Fall or as soon as I get a Sephora coupon. 

1. OPI Every Month is Oktoberfest (Germany Collection)

This color looks absolutely beautiful for the fall and winter. Since I have so much nail polish I try to really pick out unique colors and I think that this is. This has purple, red, and beautiful shimmer. It's a very vampy color which I love but its not too flat. Love this. What colors do you like from the Germany collection? I think this retails around $8.50.

Nail of the Day- Zoya Jolene

I love the formula of Zoya polishes. They apply really well. I did do 3 coats as this color is kind of sheer but you could probably get away with two if you don't mind it being a little more sheer. The color is a really pretty bright pink but not neon or hot pink. I think you could wear this to work and it would still be appropriate. These retail for $8 but Zoya is always having promotions. You should make sure to follow them on Twitter, Facebook,etc so that you know about their promotions. You order these polishes on the Zoya website here.

Nail of the Day-Essie Lollipop

Today's NOTD is one of my most favorite summer polishes.  This is a classic red with a tinge of orange in it. I love to wear red nail polishes but this one is especially suited for summer and not a color I would wear in the fall and winter. It's really a classic color and a cult favorite by many.
