Fall Favorites: Oxblood

The oxblood trend hit its stride last fall, but I cannot let it go! I adore dark, vampy autumn colors. Add a flawless shine and I could wear this color all fall and not get bored! In my eyes it is an autumn staple and neutral. I can wear a stunning oxblood manicure with any outfit.

A recent favorite of mine is Zoya Toni.

This beauty debuted last fall as part of the fall collections (Designer '12). As you can see, Toni leans a little purple for an oxblood. But in my eyes she still fits the bill. It doesn't hurt that this highly pigmented beauty does not stain and has flawless application. She is lovely and is highly recommended if you have not yet been satisfied by other oxblood polishes.

Other beautiful oxblood hues that I have previously included in other posts are,
Barielle Wool You Marry Me? (browned oxblood creme)
Barielle Erica's Pencil Skirt (deep, nearly black oxblood jelly)
Zoya Vanessa (shifts from bright berry to deep, nearly black oxblood)
Zoya Pepper (browned, creamy oxblood)
AND the perfect topper for your oxblood polish to give it a bit of an edge:
Bad Ass Polish Chocolate Covered Cherry (bronze and pink fine glitter)

Pretty in Pastel

Many of you are aware of my obsession with pretty, pale hues.I am always in search of pretty pastels that I can wear to with anything and everything. In my mind, pastels are a bit of a neutral. This summer I discovered a new favorite in Essie's A Crewed Interest. 

The Verdict:
This is a definite new favorite. I love peachy and coral polishes and this beauty fit right in. It reminds me of soft flower petals. Also, I have worn this multiple times, proving it as a new go-to polish.

Essie is a polish that retails for about $8 and can be found in many grocery, pharmacy, and beauty stores.

Zoya Vespa

I am such a sucker for shades of sage and mint. This lovely textured polish is no exception! I fell instantly in love with the color before it even touched my tips. It looks lovely with topcoat too:)

Zoya Vespa is best described as a "Mint Kiss with a sugared sparkle." I think anyone would love a Vespa that is this color, sparkling wouldn't hurt either:)

The Verdict:

Zoya does it again with their Zoya PixieDust polishes. The above picture shows two easy coats. Vespa is not as opaque as some other PixieDust polishes, but she's still quite lovely. Somehow I lost my picture of this beauty with a topcoat, so I still owe you that one. But believe me, it's GORGEOUS with or without.
