Suede! Fall into Autumn

As much as I love a bright, shiny nail, we are falling into autumn and fall fashion is upon us! The new chill in the air begs for smudgy black eyeliner, rich burgundy lips and dark, vampy nails.

This season matte nails (nail polish minus the shine) have hit the scene as the next big beauty trend and I for one am VERY excited. Essie, O.P.I., and Knock Out have all released a line of matte nail polishes. I picked up O.P.I. Ink Suede.

I couldn't get a good picture of the bottle but it's a sparkly, silver, dark purple. With a rocker chick feel to it.

The color is a about 2 shades darker than it looks in the picture and I'm loving it! Suddenly I have visions of thigh-high boots, patterned tights and fuzzy sweaters dancing in my head! I have officially started my decent into fall... Who's coming with me??

What Means the World to You???

Hey Fab Chicks!

This is not makeup post but I think you'll enjoy it. :) While making my usual morning blog rounds I stumbled upon this pic of Melody Ehsani's latest nails ~~~~~>

She calls this: diamond$ n dollar$

Well... My roommates and I thought it was pretty fly sooo one rainy Atlanta afternoon we tried our own version:

No one was willing to sacrifice a dollar for the project so my roomie, the "nail diva extraordinaire" found a bahamian dollar from a spring break trip and we went to work!

We also wanted to try to duplicate the Minx Nails trend AND the Ombre' nail trend.

T0 achieve the Ombre look (color slowly fading from dark to light), we started with a very dark navy blue~~~~>

And mixed a whitish color to lighten it little by little.

SO What do you think??

Too much? Or just gaudy enough?

Not my usual style but, definitely a fun way to spend a rainy afternoon!
