Hey y'all! So this is the wrap up post of the Fall/Winter seasonal color trends. I personally really loved this palette. I think the color combination was a great way to express the vintage flare that is very present in fashion lately. It was a big season for creams, even though China Glaze and Zoya added some really interesting finishes to their fall/winter offerings. But I feel that a cream fits so perfectly with the season!

China Glaze Don't Get Derailed Fall/Winter 2014 Color Trend
Hey guys and gals, another week has come and gone! Today's Color Trend post is the last one of the season. We have made it through the entire fall/winter palette with only one exception (Misted Yellow) and I couldn't find a single polish to match. Not that I am complaining, the color is not very polish friendly!
The last color is the muted warm green, Cypress. A lot of people have a hard with this color, but I actually really like it - clothing or makeup. China Glaze Don't Get Derailed from the most awesome All Aboard fall collection nails this earthy tone perfectly!
Oh, and sadly no, my nails did not magically grow back over night into my lovely rounds I had previously. I took these pics before my nail broke. Sigh...

Essie Style Cartel Fall/Winter 2014 Color Trend
Hey y'all! I am so exited to kick off this season's Color Trend series. It is one of my favorite things to do on my blog. My intention was to post yesterday, but as always, things didn't quite go as planned, so you all get the post today, whoooo!!
If you recall the Pantone fall color palette (if not, here is the link to the original post), we are starting with Royal Blue and I am head over heels for Essie's Style Cartel from the Dress To Kilt fall collection.

Color Trends For Fall 2014
Hello friends! I didn't forget about you, I promise. I know posting has been sporadic lately and I do apologize. My personal and family life has taken a huge twist this month and it seems to have eaten up all of my blogging mojo. Despite all the changes that are taking place being positive ones, transitioning through everything has been a bit overwhelming and I am definitely feeling it! But I am eager to get back in the swing of things with new fall colors and some really fun stuff to show you all.
This past Tuesday, was the first day of fall and I couldn't be happier with the seasonal change! The fall collections are so good this year! If you are a regular reader, you know that I usually am not a fan of fall and winter collections, they are usually too dark and drab for my taste. Something about the color palette this year has really won me over and I am loving these seasonal hues.

O.P.I. I Just Can't Cope-Acabana Spring/Summer Color Trend
Hey y'all! Today is the last post of the Fashion Friday Color Trends for the spring and summer 2014 season! And I am totally wrapping it up with a bang! I will be bringing it back in just a few months when the fall and winter colors are released, so don't worry!
But today's post features a sunny yellow shade Pantone dubbed "Freesia." It is fun and bright and a great color to round out the palette. In the world of nail polish, yellow is a dubious color. One that many polish lovers swoon over, but are often left disappointed by the lack luster formulas, either horribly thick and chalky or watery, thin and streaky. The perfect yellow polish is almost a myth. But O.P.I. has put all others to shame with the gorgeous sunshine yellow of I Just Can't Cope-Acabana.
Please Note: Products shown were purchased by me for my personal use
O.P.I. I Just Can't Cope-Acabana (The Brazil Collection Spring/Summer 2014)
I Just Can't Cope-Acabana is a bright true yellow - neither too warm or too cool, it is a balanced shade that will work with a variety of skin tones. I honestly can't help but smile when wearing this shade! And it gets even better. The formula is amazing! Two smooth coats with no issues at all. No streaking, no watery mess. Perfect consistency.
It is great as a stand alone shade and one that is very on trend for a bright summery look. But it is perfect for nail art!!! Seriously, this is the best yellow on the market, color tone and formula. Do not let this one pass you by!

O.P.I. Where Did Suzi's Man-Go - Spring/Summer 2014 Color Trend
Hi guys and gals, happy Friday! It's so hard to believe that we are already in May and that spring is on it's way out. We are getting lots of sunshine here in Texas and I am eagerly waiting for school to end and summer fun to begin! I can't wait to go swimming!
The warmer weather is definitely making me reach for brighter and more fun colors to wear, and since we are in the middle of the Fashion Friday Spring/Summer color trends, I get to play with those colors and show you some awesome shades to help welcome the sun!
Orange is a great color, it can go from a warm sunny color to a rich earthy tone. I prefer it on the lighter more playful side of the spectrum, and that is just what Pantone did with Celosia Orange. It is bright and cheery, and O.P.I.'s Where Did Suzi's Man-Go just begs to be painted on toes and adorned with cute strappy sandals!
Please Note: Products shown were purchased by me for my personal use
O.P.I. Where Did Suzi's Man-Go
Where Did Suzi's Man-Go is a sherbet orange cream and it is outstanding! It is unique in my orange collection and probably my most favorite one! The color is super flattering and will compliment a variety of styles. Formula was flawless with two easy coats for full coverage,
I honestly can't get over the awesomeness of this polish. If there is any out of the Brazil collection that you need it is Where Did Suzi's Man-Go.
Hope you all have a fantastic weekend! And go play outside!!!

China Glaze What A Pansy - Spring/Summer Color Trend
Hey friends! Happy Friday! My posting schedule kinda got away from me this week, and I wasn't able to get this up as early as I wanted. But better late than never!
Continuing with the Pantone spring and summer color palettes, today I have What A Pansy from the China Glaze spring collection, City Flourish. What A Pansy is the Violet Tulip shade from the palette, and offers a nice contrast to the color of the year, Radiant Orchid.
Please Note: Products shown were purchased by me for my personal use.
China Glaze What A Pansy (City Flourish Collection Spring 2014)
What A Pansy is a dusty purple crelly with strong blue undertones. In some lightings, it pulls a lot more blue than purple. I usually grab more red based purples than blue based, but that is a taste preference. As a result, this is a unique purple in my collection. Formula was okay, not fantastic. I had some dragging issues on the first coat, creating a patchy look. After letting it dry completely, a thicker second coat gave full coverage. I do so love the slight squishyness of the crelly formula.
While What A Pansy isn't a pastel, it has a slightly faded look that I think will translate very nicely into a spring wardrobe. I like the unique color, and it is a nice alternative to the Radiant Orchid shades that are abundant right now.
So are you a Violet Pansy kind of person, or a Radiant Orchid?

Zoya Dillon - Spring/Summer Color Trend
Hey everyone! Hope your week went well! Any exciting plans for the weekend? Now that the weather is finally nice, we are having some friends over tomorrow for dinner. Grilling veggies, watching the kids run around and spending the evening outside is probably one of my favorite things to do.
One of my favorite colors for spring, is a fresh mint green. In the color palette for Spring and Summer, Pantone included Hemlock, a shade of green that is seasonal perfection. Zoya chose to represent Hemlock in the spring collection with Dillon.
Please Note: Products shown were purchased by me for my personal use.
Zoya Dillon (Awaken Collection Spring 2014)
Dillon is a mint green with a shimmery foil effect like Hudson (and Rebel coming next week). This color is everything. It is crisp and clean, and will pair well with any spring wardrobe. Formula was polish perfection, and what Zoya is known for. 2 easy coats (almost a one coater) for full coverage. And that shimmer is stand out gorgeous. Love.
Out of the three shimmers from the Awaken collection. Dillon is an easy favorite. As much as I like the other two, this shade will always be favorite. Even if I do have 10 plus mint green polishes in my stash already. If you are not a hoarder like me, then I highly recommend Dillon. Many other polishes in this color family do not boast such a good formula or have the amazing shimmer.
So what is your go-to shade for spring? Are you a mint green lover too?
Please Note: Products shown were purchased by me for my personal use. All opinions are my own. For more info, please read my disclaimer.
Zoya Dillon and the rest of the Awaken collection, is available on line. Products retail from $9-$10 a piece.

Zoya Hudson - Spring/Summer Color Trend
Hello lovely people! It finally feels like spring here in Texas! The weather has been gorgeous and I am craving all things bright and cheery. The spring and summer polish collections are popping up all over the place and what better time to take a look at the trend colors for the season!
Pantone, the masters of color creation, have come up with a spectacular palette for this season. Gone are the boring pastels. For 2014, it is all about the bright rich color, paired with a more sophisticated nude.
As a lover of brighter shades, this palette is everything I could ever want! The colors are phenomenal. Radiant Orchid, Pantone's "Color Of The Year," is perfection. Every main stream polish company has taken these colors and created some amazing collections. I love them all!
Zoya's spring collection, Awaken, kept to the softer side of the palette, although I am hoping the summer collection amps it up a notch. Zoya can do incredible things with color, which is why it is my favorite brand! Like in the fall, Zoya created a fantastic version of Radiant Orchid.
Please Note: Products shown were purchased by me for my personal use.
Zoya Hudson (Awaken collection, Spring 2014)
Hudson is a purple orchid with silvery shimmer. The shimmer is outstanding! It has a very foil-y feel to it that Zoya is known for, without being over the top. I love this shade, and it is spring time perfection. Formula was good, and on par for what I expect from Zoya. It has a slight thickness due to the shimmer, but definitely not problematic. Two coats for full coverage, and an average dry time. Photo is shown with top coat.
Hudson is a great representation for Radiant Orchid, and one that is a universally flattering shade. This is a polish that everyone can enjoy!

Essie Cashmere Bathrobe - Fall/Winter Color Trends
Hey friends! It is a cold, dreary, grey Friday, and I have the perfect color for today! It is the last installment of the Fashion Friday Fall/Winter Color Trend edition, and I have a shimmery grey that matches the color of my Texas skies!
Pantone gave us Turbulence, a cool grey with blue undertones, this season. My pick for this shade is Essie's Cashmere Bathrobe.
Please Note: Products shown were purchased by me for my personal use.
Essie - Cashmere Bathrobe
Cashmere Bathrobe is a cool toned grey with a silvery shimmer scattered through out. The shimmer has blue and pink bits as well, though they aren't very noticeable. It reminds me very much of the effect the summer colors from Essie had. Formula was really good, and we all know that Essie can be hit or miss in the formula department. Two coats for full coverage, almost a one coater. Good dry time.
I think this is a perfect winter color. Usually I have a hard time pulling off grey polishes, but this wasn't too bad. I have some holiday nail art planned for it that I think will turn out really pretty. Even though it was released as one of Essie's fall colors, Cashmere Bathrobe is still on some shelves. And I think it is a better pick (as well as The Lace Is On) than a lot of the colors from the winter collection.
Well that wraps up the Fall/Winter colors! I am already scouting out the spring collections and China Glaze is looking amazing! Also, incase you missed it, Pantone announced their color for 2014 - Radiant Orchid. It is a gorgeous color, and I am super duper excited to see all the great polish to come from the Spring/Summer pallet!

Zoya Louise - Fall/Winter Color Trend
Hey friends! Hope you guys are having a great weekend! Apologies for posting this later than planned. The holidays are officially here and it is already kicking my ass!
Though, it isn't the most popular color for nail polish, brown is definitely a great staple color for Fall & Winter wardrobes. It is cozy and warm, and I love it! Pantone gave us Carafe, a cool toned coffee brown. Out of all the mainstream brands, Zoya was the only one to give us brown lovers a polish version of Carafe. Thank you Zoya, cause this baby is awesome!
Please Note: Products shown were purchased by me for my personal use.
Zoya - Louise
Louise is a creamy (almost crelly) cool toned brown. It is rich a deep, and a fabulous alternative to those of us who can't pull off black. I used it for my Thanksgiving Day mani paired with Zoya Ziv, because brown and gold together are amazing. I know, it's not a very popular color, but it looks amazing on the nail, and I love it so much! Formula was the standard Zoya cream, smooth and flowy, two coats for full coverage, longer dry time.
Zoya is a brand that never ceases to please me, whether it is from their spot on colors, or their consistently good formulas, or PIXIE DUST, I am a Zoya lover for life. While I wanted to show all the most popular mainstream salon brands, Zoya is the only brand that covered almost every single color this year. So if you like a particular shade, but not the brand, please go check Zoya's website.
We have made it almost all the way through the Pantone Fall/Winter color guide and I've got one more color left to show! This has been a really fun series for me, and I really want to continue it next year into the new seasons. Pantone's color picks for 2014 are looking particularly amazing, and the polish collections I have managed to see peeks of are also looking gorgeous! Next year may be the year I go over board!

Essie The Lace Is On - Fall/Winter Color Trend
Hey lovelies, happy Friday to you all! More Fashion Friday Fall/Winter Color Trends for you guys today! It seems I totally spaced and didn't schedule the post for last week...ooops! Sorry about that!
Keeping with the jewel tones, Pantone added a rich fuchsia to the seasonal line up with the making of Vivacious. Essie and Zoya offered up gorgeous glowy versions of this shade in their respective collections.
Please Note: Products shown were purchased by me for my personal use.
Essie The Lace Is On
The Lace Is On is a stunning rich fuchsia metallic with shimmery bits thrown in for extra depth. This is definitely a top contender for my fav, out of the fall colors. It is the perfect seasonal color, in my opinion. Perfect for any occasion or holiday gathering! Formula was flawless. Essie has really outdone themselves lately. Every Essie I have gotten this year has been pretty much perfection. This is 2 easy smooth coats. Best thing? No frickin brush strokes!!! Just gorgeous shimmery glowy goodness!
Hope you guys have a great weekend! I probably won't be able to post much this week coming up, since it's Thanksgiving and we have a few get-togethers going on, but I will try!

Julep Tatiana - Fall/Winter Color Trend
Hey guys! Happy Friday! This weekend is a big deal for me. I have a super special announcement to make later today, so be sure to keep an eye on my blog! But before that, I have the next color for Pantone's Fall 2013 color guide for this installment of Fashion Friday - Color Trend Edition!
This fiery orange is dubbed Koi by Pantone. Out of all the fall collections this year, I think Julep did it best. And this color was even an accidental purchase!
Please Note: Products shown were purchased by me for my personal use.
Julep - Tatiana
Since I have already reviewed Tatiana, I'm not going to rehash the awesome formula. But it is really a perfect color for fall. And even though I am contemplating canceling my maven account, I am super happy to have this gorgeous color in my stash!

O.P.I. First Date At The Golden Gate - Fall/Winter Color Trend
Hey friends! Hope you guys had a great Halloween! We got loaded up with candy, and I have definitely had more than my share. Snacking on some milk duds as I'm typing!
Red is the ultimate classic fall and winter shade. It is a universally flattering shade, and perfect for so many different occasions. Pantone spiced up the classic color, this year, by adding some warmth when creating Samba. Once again, O.P.I. released a collection full of reds and my pick from the San Francisco collection for the Samba red is First Date On The Golden Gate. If you want to go a bit darker, Lost On Lombardo is in the same family.
Please Note - Products shown were purchased by me for my personal use.
O.P.I. - First Date On The Golden Gate
FDOTGG is a warm chili pepper red cream. I just need to accept the fact that reds are super flattering on me! I actually prefer this shade as opposed to a cooler tone. Formula was super creamy and smooth. It has just enough jelly squishiness to be interesting, but covers flawlessly. I used two coats, and though it covered at one, I think it looks best with two. The color gets richer with the extra coat.
That's all for today! I hope you guys have an awesome weekend!

O.P.I. Incognito In Salsalito - Fall/Winter Color Trend
Hey guys and gals! It's Friday and that means it's time for another installment of Fashion Friday - Color Trend Edition! I hope you all are enjoying this new little feature I have added, because I am having a blast! Color is so much fun.
This week, we have the classic fall shade, navy, with an updated look. Pantone's pick for this fall hue is called "Mykonos Blue," a rich deep blue reminiscent of the deep Grecian waters it was named after. Mainstream brands gave quite a few samplings of this shade; China Glaze Queen B, Zoya Sailor, and (a second option) O.P.I. Keeping Suzi At Bay. Which was, initially, my first choice for this color, but alas I had no luck finding it!
Please Note: Products shown were purchased by me for my personal use.
O.P.I. - Incognito In Sausalito
Incognito In Sausalito is an inky blue navy cream. First, I loooove the name! Super clever. Well done O.P.I.! The color isn't the most original, but the it is a good one for fall, and nail art! I used it for these Argyle nails from a previous post. Formula was great, smooth and flowy, a good solid one coater. I did use two coats because I wasn't careful with my first coat, and had a couple of thin spots.
Navy is a great alternative to more traditional fall/winter shades, especially a darker one that has a bit more of an edgy vibe.
If you are interested in seeing all of my picks for the Fall/Winter season, I have added a handy little tab at the top of the navigation bar! Until, next time friends!

China Glaze Rendezvous With You - Fall/Winter Color Trend
Hey friends! Happy Friday! After a crazy week, I am ready for some relaxing time with my family! And maybe a little nail art on the side.
Since it's Friday, I am continuing the Fashion Friday posts with a seasonal twist - Fall/Winter color trends! A popular color in many collections this season has been a deep rich purple. Pantone calls this color Acai and I am really loving it!
Please Note: Products shown were purchased by me for my personal use.
China Glaze - Rendezvous With You
Rendezvous With You is a deep purple (Acai) with a silvery foil look. I was totally expecting it to be too dark and not like it on me at all, but man was I ever wrong! It is gorgeous!!! The silvery foil shimmery bits add such an amazing depth. Seriously stunning and so elegant. It is a perfect polish choice for holiday parties. Formula was flawless. One smooth coat for all this loveliness. Nice dry time too. It dries to a more silver toned metallic finish, but after adding a top coat, the rich purple depths came out more.
Jewel Tones are usually a big trend during the colder months, but this is definitely an unexpected color, and polish. I can see myself using this a lot through out the season.

Zoya Giovanna - Fall/Winter Color Trend
Hey guys! Today is the first installment of my new seasonal color trends series and I thought I would kick it off with a gorgeous polish that is a perfect representation of Pantone's color of the year - Emerald. I am a huge green lover, especially this particular shade of green, and Zoya Giovanna is truly stunning. Originally designed for the Zoya/Zang Toi Fall NYFW collaboration, and later released as part of the Casmere & Satin collections.
Please Note: Products shown were purchased by me for my personal use.
Zoya - Giovanna
Giovanna is a metallic emerald green with a shimmery "lit from within" glow. Despite being such an amazing color, the formula was a bit of a problem. As you can see from the pic, it is prone to brush strokes. I have read about applying a matte tc and then a glossy tc to smooth out brush strokes, but have yet to try it out myself. It was also a total pain to apply, unfortunately. The first coat was streaky and I had issues with cuticle drag. A thicker second coat covered everything nicely, though. It is also a major strainer, so be sure to double up on the base coat!
Zoya Giovanna with Pantone Emerald color swatch
In all honesty, and I have said this before, I am willing to over look a crappy formula if the color is amazing. And Giovanna fits the bill. I can guarantee that it will be in heavy rotation this fall/winter.
Are you feeling the Emerald color trend?

Zoya Giovanna and the rest of the Cashmere & Satin collection can be found on line. Products retail for $8 a piece.

Fall 2013 Fashion Color Trends
Hey y'all! How about a new seasonal series? Yeah? I am totally digging the idea of offering up my picks from the fall releases based off of the seasonal colors. Sounds super fun, right?
Every year, Pantone (the company that makes color for design purposes. I'm a huge pantone nerd.) picks a color of the year, and a corresponding color pallet that everyone in the fashion industry uses, from clothing to nail polish! Ever wonder why there are similar colors in mainstream seasonal collections? This is why. Emerald is the color for 2013, and the fall color pallet revolves around the rich jewel tone of Emerald.

See some familiar colors? This season, the collections from Essie, O.P.I.. Zoya, China Glaze and even Sally Hansen have some amazing examples of these colors.
Fashion Friday posts will now be dedicated to seasonal trends, which colors I love, and those that aren't so great. So let's have some fun with color! (Fashion Friday collab posts with Camille will return when she is not so swamped with grad school.)

Fashion Friday #11
Hey dolls! TGIF, right? This weekend, I am child free and my husband and I are going to spend some much needed time together. Tuesday was our wedding anniversary and we will be doing a little celebrating tomorrow night! Plus, I will get some free time to work on a fun nail art experiment that, if you follow me on IG, you may have seen me post about it!
Since it is Friday, Camille and I are back with another Fashion/Nail art collab!
Used:
Bondi NY - Tavern On The
O.P.I. - Don't Pretzel My Buttons
O.P.I. - My Vampire Is Buff
Zoya - Wednesday
China Glaze - Keep Calm, Paint On
Nail Art Brush
Another waterfall mani for this look. Though, I wasn't exactly very careful, and it ended up looking a bit sloppy. : \ But, I love the dress and the color palette!
Used:
O.P.I. - My Vampire Is Buff
Nails Inc. - Porchester Square
Nails Inc. - The Thames
Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure - Debut-Tint
Make Up Sponge
For this outfit, Camille referenced the fall/winter trend of neutral pastels. Which, it seems, neither of us are fans of. Sadly, I'm not a fan of the gradient either. I just can't pull of these types of colors. Ugh, corpse hands. Can we just skip all the fall/winter fashion and keep the bright and fun colors of spring and summer please?
If you haven't yet, be sure to give Camille's style blog a look. You can get a good glimpse of what it means to be fashionable despite the unruly Texas climate! Camille makes it look easy. Me, I end up a hot sweaty mess by the end of the day!
Hope you all have great weekend!

Fashion Friday #10
Happy Friday, my friends! Seriously glad this week is over. Long and boring over here in Casa de Painted Nail. Even though it is a mild summer by Texas summers, it is still hot and makes for lack luster days and stir crazy littles.
Camille and I are back with another installment of out fashion/nail art mash up. As always, be sure to check out Camille's awesome fashion blog, Pretty and Punk to get the inside scoop on her style and inspiration!
Used:
Zoya - Maya
Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear - Black Out
Nail art brushes
If this doesn't scream Pretty and Punk, then I don't know what does. Just an FYI, I am astounded that I was able to free hand those little skull & cross bones. As much as I love the dress, I was scared to try to recreate it in nail form. But I am glad I did! Super cute dress, super cute nails! On a side note, Zoya Maya is the closest polish I have to a hot pink cream. It's more coral toned (big surprise) and a jelly. I couldn't believe that out of my 300+ polishes, that I didn't have a hot pink cream. Wtf.
Used:
Essie - Mint Candy Apple
O.P.I. - My Vampire Is Buff
Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear - Black Out
Dotting Tool
I really like this pairing a lot; simple with a retro vibe and unusual color combinations. In mani form, it's a fun look to wear. Especially since my two new favorite polishes are MCA and MVIB. I may have used them again in an upcoming post, shhh! Accent nails are a fun way to do a little nail art if you a scared to tackle a full mani. Unusual color combos and different textural designs are a great way to mix things up and step outside of the boring mani box. Give it a try!
I really hope you guys have enjoyed the Fashion Friday collab posts! I certainly do, and I am excited to see what the fall season has in store! Have a great weekend!
