My 5 Favourite Fall Nail Polishes

Something about having pretty nails always makes a wonderful first impression…

Okay I’m not going to pretend like I have perfect nails all the time – I don’t. I am guilty of picking my shellac when it starts to give way. I am guilty of chipping away my nail polish if it gets a tiny smudge. I am also guilty of being pretty bad at putting nail polish on myself but you know what? I love nail polish either way! Something about having pretty nails always makes a wonderful first impression. So with that spirit, my favourite autumn nail colours are has follows!

1. Playing Koi by Essie

I love this burnt orange shade, it adds such a beautiful pop of colour to the darker tones we see during fall! Get this shade from Essie here!

The Only Lipstick You Need This Month

lipstick

February, the universal month of love. (Rather, the Hallmark month of love..every month should be a month of love in my opinion) The second month of the year where everyone’s new years resolutions of ‘reinventing themselves’ are either coming to an abrupt end, because who has time for that? Or are going strong especially with that new pyjama top you just added to your wardrobe. #trendy. Wherever you may fall on that spectrum, this lipstick is the only lipstick you need this month. It’s the perfect balance between warm and nude, and will fit with your look whether you’re going to a quick meeting, a quick coffee or a long dinner – Trish McEvoy Pink Nude has got your back.

Replace your nude with this one, now! 

PS: Thank you Sonali Bhojwani for this – one of my favourite little presents!
