Essie Nail Polish: Wicked

  I decided to venture into the dark realm of nail polish for Fall by purchasing the color Wicked by Essie. It's bold, rich and dark- all the characteristics needed for a great fall color.

  I was first drawn to Wicked as I was browsing through a shelf of Essie nail polishes at a local beauty store in my area; which also happens to be my weekly routine. As my fingers fell upon the vampy red bottle, I thought that it would be a good choice, since I'm always fond of how dark polishes look on my nails. Besides, Essie rarely lets me down when it comes to nail polish.

  From applying Wicked on my nails, it is apparent that the color appears to be more chocolate brown or black on the nails, than a deep dark red. However, under certain flecks of the light one can observe hues of red in the polish. Therefore, one can classify Wicked as being as a very deep dark polish on the nails.

  I personally like the richness and vampy aspect of the nail polish, especially for the Fall. I also like how nicely the polish applies to the nails. However, keep in mind that due to the darkness of this polish, it is best to apply two layers in order to avoid streaks and bring out the richness of the color. I also choose to apply a top coat to ensure longevity and to add extra shine, but it's ultimately your decision if you want to add on this extra step.

  Overall, if you are interested in attaining a vampy look this Fall, this is definitely a good polish to try out. It's creates a bold and edgy statement that looks great on all skin complexions.

Highlights Of My Week: Beauty, Shopping & Fashion

  This has been an incredibly busy week. I'm sure most of you guys can relate, especially with Halloween and everything else going on in life. Now that this week is over, I would like to share some of the highlights with you all.

  One of my fall outfits was showcased this week on the blog. I really love this outfit. It's super cute, comfortable and casual. I feel ready for Fall when I walk around in this outfit and I can't wait to re-create many more looks around it.

  I went shopping at Ikea this weekend to pick up a few items. Boy do I love shopping at Ikea, for the great designs and prices. I also love the set up of the store and the way everything is arranged. There is truly an art to this store that does not always get acknowledged. Even the way the pillows are displayed in the picture above is so beautiful and creative. Oh, Ikea.

  Since Fall has been around for a couple of weeks, I decided to switch things up and pull out a bright pink nail polish by Essie called Watermelon. I really adore this polish color. It's really bright on my nails and reminds me of a warmer time. (I am not a fan of the cold). If you are interested in bright pinks, you should definitely check it out.

  I didn't have a scary outfit this Halloween, but I spent the day changing my hair to an ombre style and I added a deep purple color to my lips. The color is called Train bleu by NARS. It's a bit intense, but I love it. What do you think?

  I hope you all had a great week! If you enjoyed this post or would like to share your thoughts, please feel free to leave a comment below.
