Thursday’s Fab Five

Happy Thursday’s Fab Five! Are you ready for fall? I’m so ready for fall. I think I’m too ready for fall. It’s still hot here in D.C. but we’ve seen some glimmer of a cooler season ahead, and I cannot wait. While I patiently wait, here are some of my current end of summer fab faves.

OPI’s My Very First Knockwurst, $10.50

This is my current nail color, and I’m loving the simplicity of it. I thought it was perfect for the back to school mindset & the rosey-nude-ish color is a great transition in this end of summer time.

Happy Thursday! There’s been so much going on recently, all great things, & I’m so happy to be back today to share five of my recent favorites.

Yes to Detoxifying Charcoal Paper Mask, $3

I spoke about this mask on my Insta-stories last week because Target was & still is, having a 25% off sale on all Yes To products! I love a good charcoal mask, but the application & clean up process can sometimes be a bit too much, if ya know what I mean. Having a charcoal mask in sheet mask form, especially with a ton of product on it, is perfect for a Wednesday night. The fit could be a tiny bit better but given how budget friendly this mask is, it’s really no big deal.

Happy Thursday! I’m so happy the winter break is almost here, teaching has been exhausting this year.

Here are five things I’ve been loving the past few weeks, and all would make great presents too!

Mani Monday: Chanel + OPI

Last week I wore Chanel Fall 2012 ‘Vertigo’ and paired it with OPI’s 2011 Holiday Muppet Collection ‘Designer de Better’ as an accent nail! I went to Texas last weekend and I got a ton of compliments on it when I was out and about!

I’m loving Vertigo, at first I wasn’t going to get it because it looks just like Chanel Fall 2010’s Paradoxal….BUT, when you place each bottle side by side, they’re totally different. Whew.

Vertigo is obvz very dark, it’s kinda difficult to describe but I’d call it plumish-grey, with a hint of brown…if that makes any sense?

Designer de Better is an awesome color. I think it’s a perfect mix of silver and gold…and it has super teeny-tiny specks of red glitter.

Sephora by OPI: Perfect Pair

My obsession with Sephora by OPI is no secret, I’m constantly buying the new colors, always getting the collections with the mini bottles. I love this because I can try new collections without having to buy the regular size, and if I end up loving a certain color, then I’ll go ahead and buy the full size. So, with that being said, my new obsession is Sephora’s Perfect Pair Nail Colour Set. They have three different sets of two polishes each that offset each other.

Well, so far they’ve definitely done a great job with this idea. I purchased the Perfect Pair in ‘Duo Wanna Have Some Fun’. The main color is described as an “opaque electric coral red” and the pairing is described as a “sheer champagne with medium gold glitter”. This combination is absolutely beautiful! I just got them done yesterday and I’ve gotten so many compliments already! I did two coats of the coral red, and a top coat of the glitter. They compliment each other perfectly, and it’s the ultimate summer manicure.
