Nail polish review
Hello, my gorgeous fans with sparkly nails! I just wanted to post about my new favorite nail color. I recommended it in my previous post about nail trends, but I wanted to show you a picture. It's OPI's "Did you 'ear about Van Gogh?" My camera isn't the best, but I am just obsessed with the greige color. If you don't like this kind of color, I get it, BUT this particular color goes on almost perfectly in one coat and then with the second coat it's just opaque perfection. Try it out!

Fall Nail Trends! OooooOh!
Hello, my gorgeous fans who all have the best cuticles ever. I have rocking out some pale, minty green nails and some lovely nude colors all summer, but now it's time for fall and we must style our nails accordingly. Luckily, I'm very into this seasons trendiest nail looks. Here are a few...
One look is dark, midnight blue nails. I've never been into getting bright blue nails, but black nails are fab, so this is just a shade up. A good one is OPI, Russian Navy.

Another color that's very in for fall is burgundy, which is normally a great fall color. One that I swatched at the store and thought was very nice was Essie, Poor Little Rich Girl. It's a gorgeous, deep burgundy and you can't go wrong with this brand. Another one that is a more purplely rendition of this look is OPI's Romeo and Joliet. I really liked this color as well.
Black nails are always cool, but this fall there are a lot of twists you can try on your sleek looking black nails. One that is pretty cool is using a mattifying product like Essie's Mate about you, and creating a completely different texture for your black nails. The picture I posted is someone who is SOO cool and used the matte product and then created an awesome black french by keeping the tips shiny. SO cool, I definitely will be trying this.
Pale nude colors are also in for this Fall. One that I just bought is Did you 'ear about Van Gogh? It's a grayish nude color that I really like. I tried another one before it that I thought would be similar, but it ended up looking like pink putty on my nails...ew. This is much better.
I kind of already mentioned this one, but another Fall trend is a "French Twist." Trying something different with the typical french manicure look. I jumped the ball a little and had a red french manicure for Bombshell Baby, and I also had a black french for fun the other week, so now that this is a trendy, seasonal look, I will be doing a LOT more of it! ALSO! Look! Lana Del Rey and Adele do it!

My current nail obsession
Hello, my gorgeous, amazing fans. So, I am obsessed with Adele and Lana Del Rey, despite their very different levels of talent. I love Lana's look, and enjoy her dark, weird, oddly haunting songs. Adele is just the best in every way as well, but is clearly the superior artist, BUT BOTH ALWAYS HAVE AMAZING nails! In Lana's "Born to Die" video she has a killer manicure with red v shaped tips, and a gold stripe on the v...obsessed. Adele always has amazing nails too. A highlight for me when it comes to Adele's nails was at the Grammy's when her nails matched her Louboutin pumps, but I also love the look she does where she'll have a nude color and then black tips...obsessed. Today I tried out doing one of Lana's nail looks, without the gold stripe, and I'm obsessed with it. I made the mistake of letting the woman doing them put the red on top of two coats of the nude and it's ALREADY chipping, but after doing some research, I found that if you use tape to make the v-shape you can then apply the nude color and then take the tape off and have the perfect V to fill in with the red color you so choose. Still on the hunt for a good gold to complete this look. Obsessed... for my nails I used the Christian Dior Safari Beige and OPI Little Red Wagon.

Veronica Garland does Lana Del Ray
Hello, my gorgeous fans! I was so blown away by Lana Del Ray's new music video that I thought I'd do a cover of the song "National Anthem," ESPECIALLY because it's 4th of July. How appropriate! Also, if you haven't seen Lana's video, check it out bellow. It's filled with amazing 60s hair, amazing wigs, nails, clothes, interracial love...ugh it's the best.
