Army Green for Fall

Searching for a more affordable version of this nail polish.  I want it on my fingers ASAP.

Falling

Have you noticed the change in the light- just in the past few days?  You have no idea how excited for full-on-fall this subtle change makes me. 

I have done plenty of posts in the past about how I adore Fall.  But, seriously, I do.

And, I think I may need this to get me further into the Fall mood:

Well, I I might buy this, if I had a habit of spending $23 for nail polish, which I don't...anyone seen any other brands with similar taupe brown colors?

Craving Neon

I think it's safe to say that neon is an official trend these days...and because I am no style icon, (far from it), it is also probably safe to say that it may be passe at this point, but I am loving it.  (Please forgive me if you are now rolling your eyes and saying: "duh, neon is so 5 minutes ago.")

Recenty purchased this scarf from Target (hard to tell from the photo, but there is some neon orange in there):

So, are you loving neons too?  Am I late to the party??

I'm With Brad

I'm With Brad is the clever name of my new favorite fall nail color from Sephora by OPI.  The official description of the color is "opaque metallic wine over dark coffee."

I snagged it for the bargain price of $5 a couple weeks ago when I visited SOAK for a pedicure.  (It was their color of the week).  You can get it here.

SOAK is still offering their September special--bring in non-perishable food items for Harvest Hope Food Bank and get 20% off of any service priced at $20 or more! 

I'm also loving this...Only Gold for Me topcoat...but where would I wear it?

Also love this one--Kitty Loves Black Nail Colour:

Just 'Cause

I am having a stressy day today--pulling together the details for a 5K race with over 200 participants is not easy...and in the cold and rain no less. Especially when people don't do what they say they're going to do...ugh!

So, instead of thinking about it for the next 5 minutes, I am thinking of the pedicure that I will have tomorrow afternoon when it is all over.

Here are my new favorite colors:

Metro Chic Sephora by OPI:

{I don't actually own this exact color, but I did find a Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Xtreme Wear polish that is pretty similar at Walgreen's, it's called Celeb City Frost}.

OK, thanks for indulging me in that 5-minute escape.
What are your favorite nail polish colors?
