East Meets South: nail polish

Friday Favorites: Oxblood Nails

beauty 6:00 AM

I am almost always wearing some sort of a red shade on my nails, no matter what season it is. But especially in the Fall and colder weather seasons, oxblood nails are my favorite. I probably have way too many bottles that look all too similar. Here are a few of my favorites if you are looking for a deep red polish!

Currently Obsessed

Currently on my mind...

I stumbled upon Kae Sun's "Ship and the Globe" on a Korean soundtrack (random, I know) and I'm obsessed.

This top clearly needs to come in every color of the rainbow. I love 3/4 sleeve tops that are flowy. Totally food baby friendly.

I'm still undecided on if I love Sally Hansen polishes. Their brush is hard to get used to... BUT this color is so pretty. It's a pinkish grayish beigeish. Hm. It's a great neutral.

Please go google "sheepadoodle". I ran into an adorable sheepadoodle while walking our fur baby and dare I say, she was almost cuter than Tater. I normally don't freak out over cute dogs in person (it was embarrassing) but look at them! How FLUFFY. Love.

Have you tried this delicious liqueur? Perhaps I'm jumping on this train a little late but it is so tasty! I really do want to try a St. Germain margarita like this article suggests. I have just been mixing this with champagne and it is so good!

So I first saw these earrings on Bauble Bar (love this site, by the way!) and went back and forth on buying them. I love pearl jewelry - especially the ones that put a fun twist on a classic gem. But when I saw a replica at Target, I knew I couldn't find them at a better deal and they look identical to the Dior ones shown on Emma Watson. They've quickly become one of my everyday earrings and I have received so many compliments on them! I had doubts on whether they'd stay on good throughout the day and so far so good!

My nail polish addiction

Chanel 7:59 AM

I am obsessed with nail polishes. There I said it. I don't know if my obsession comes from not being able to wear them throughout high school because of cheerleading or what, but I change my polish probably every two to three days. One of my favorite go brands are Essie and OPI. I am all for at home manicures. You can find really great products out there and you won't need to spend the money to get them done at salons.

Seche Vite
This is one of my favorite top coats. It dries super fast and keeps my nails shiny.

Because I change them so often and own so many, I rarely splurge on nail polish. But when I do, I love Julep or Butter. The Chanel one is a classic as well.

I know I keep talking about my trip to Korea, but it was such an amazing trip, I just can't stop. Nail art is huge in Korea and getting your nails done is so affordable there. There are also more options you can do as far as color, design, adding different accents, etc. Because I am indecisive and had a lot of families to meet and greet, I kept mine pretty simple when I got them done.
