Polished Up: Formula X in Invincible

For quite a while I have heard nothing but great reviews for Sephora's Formula X polishes. They are supposed to have a great formula and have a long-lasting finish. So I was excited when I was able to get my hands on a mini version to try it out. The shade I have is Invincible, a vanilla shade that is great for any season.
When I applied this polish I noticed it was very streaky. Even after the second coat and applying a top coat there were still visible streaks left behind (you can see them in the photo above). I also didn't enjoy the brush. It was too small (maybe just because this was a mini size) and didn't seem to pick up enough polish from the bottle.
The worst part about this was how long it lasted. After less than two days I noticed chipping. By the end of day two I was so frustrated that I took a cotton pad full of nail polish remover to my nails.
I don't know how other shades perform or if the full-size versions are better, but I don't see myself picking up any other shades from this line. I miss the old Sephora polishes that I have reviewed on my blog before (here and here).

Fashion How To: Transition a Summer Dress into Fall

Fall will be here before we know it (yay!!) and that means it's time to start transitioning our wardrobes for cooler months. But before you sadly pack away your favorite summer dress, here are some fun ways to extend the life of your frock into the months of fall (and even into winter if you live in a warmer climate). Boots, cardigans, tights and light sweaters are all great ways to make a summer dress cozy for fall.
