Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Fall 2013 Nail Polish Swatches & Review
We’re just a couple weeks away from the official start of fall and as much as I love summer weather I feel like we’ve been gypped with all the rain and cool temps. At this point, I’m over it and ready for boots, sweaters and jewel-toned nails. Enter, the Sally Hansen Fall 2013 Insta-Dri nail polish shades.

At first glance I wasn’t sure what to expect from these colors. Some of them appear rather frosty in the bottle but, as evidenced below, their looks are quite deceptive. I’m pleasantly surprised by the nail juice inside and I think you will be too.

Essie Fall 2013 “For The Twill of It” Nail Polish Swatches & Review
If there’s one takeaway from my encounters over the years with Essie founder, Essie Weingarten, it’s that she loves fashion and color. Of all her seasonal collections, it’s the Essie Fall color palettes that express that best. Inspired by the textures and fabrics of the season, the Essie Fall 2013 “For The Twill of It” nail colors are rich, chic and utterly Essie.

“I love the idea of creating polish that’s like the proverbial boyfriend sweater – in this case, a blazer borrowed from the boys,” says brand founder and Global Creative Director Essie Weingarten. “Creating nail color with a warm and fuzzy feeling can be tricky,” Weingarten explains. “But when you get it right, it really is like putting on your favorite sweater.” Transferring the soft volumes and rich woolens of the fall runways, essie offers six seductively tactile shades that radiate beautifully tailored warmth.

JINsoon Tibi Nail Polish Collection for Fall 2013 – Swatches & Review
The JINsoon Tibi nail polish collection for Fall 2013 is, in a word, SPARK-TACULAR! Known for her high fashion, glossy cremes, Jin Soon Choi, took a different route with her eponymous line when she teamed up with tibi designer, Amy Smilovic.
JINsoon + Tibi Fall 2013
Sticking to her simple, sophisticated roots, Jin created five sparkling shades that are refined and elegant. Yet, adding a layer of the new Matte Maker top coat brings out the urban, utilitarian feel of Tibi’s fall line. Named after minerals and rocks, these shades hit on the jewel tone and vampy nail trends that are shaping up to be the theme of Fall 2013.

Throwback Thursday – Zoya Diva Fall 2012 Nail Polish Swatches & Review
With all the new fall collections launching, I keep thinking that it won’t be long before I’m pulling out boots and sweaters. I love fall weather but I hate the snow and cold that so quickly follows it. So, before I launch into reviewing everything that’s new, I thought it would be fun to use this #ThrowbackThursday to look back at the Zoya Diva Fall 2012 collection.
One of the many things I love about Zoya is that, for the most part, their seasonal collections aren’t limited edition. They may not be readily available in stores but you can still find them on Zoya.com. Such is the case with the NYFW-inspired Diva collection. With purple and blue gaining traction as on-trend hues for Fall 2013, the collection is just as relevant this year.

COVERGIRL Outlast Glosstinis for Summer 2013 Swatches & Review
As far as seasonal nail polish collections go, COVERGIRL has flipped the script with the launch of the COVERGIRL Outlast Stay Brilliant Glosstinis. Packaging their Summer 2013 color palette in a mini bottle is not only a space saver, it reduces waste.
I mean, let’s get real, outside of a handful of beloved shades, when was the last time you finished a full bottle of nail polish? I seriously can’t remember, which is what make the Glosstinis a stroke of genius.
COVERGIRL Outlast Glosstinis
I’ll be honest, when I first heard the term Glosstini, I envisioned a line of sheer jellies and my heart immediately sank. Don’t get me wrong, I love a jelly for layering but, in general, they aren’t flattering on my nails. I was pleasantly surprised, and relieved, to find that the Glosstinis are simply minis of the full coverage, high-gloss polishes I fell in love with months ago.
