Polished Up Tuesday: OPI's I Break for Manicures

This week I'm donning OPI's I Break for Manicures. This deeeep eggplant color from OPI's Touring America collection looks almost black on the nails. It applied evenly with two coats for the look above. I began wearing this color on Friday (to my college's homecoming dance) and today it is only showing some tip wear but no major chips yet. This is a great fall/winter color. 

Three Years Ago Today...

My husband and I were married three years ago today. I couldn't ask for a better man to share my life with and I'm looking forward to the many years in our future. I'm excited about new chapters in our lives and all the things we will share together. 

I love you, Tony! Thank you for being a wonderful husband.

What's in My Purse?

I love watching "What's in My Purse?" videos on YouTube so I'm bringing that into the blogger world and showing you a few of the things that live in my handbag. :)

 

This purse (from Guess) was given to me by a friend for my birthday a few years ago. It's a medium-sized bag with faux snakeskin and silver details. I love this because I can pair it with black or brown and it looks chic. It adds a little edge to my outfits. (This bag was seen in my last blog here)

What's in my Purse?

1. Kenneth Cole Reaction Wallet (have had this for years)

2. Soap and Glory Hand Food (hand lotion)

3. Tide to Go pen (because I'm a messy eater)

4.mark. hook-ups with Scanda-Lash mascara and Glow Baby Glow lip gloss in Pink Crush

5. BIC Atlantis pen (my favorite pens)

6. Maybelline Baby Lips in Peach Kiss

7. EOS lip balm in Summer Fruit

8. Purell hand sanitizer (for my husband who doesn't like girly hand sanitizer)

9. Purse hook (JCP; Christmas gift a few years ago)

10. Bath and Body Works hand sanitizer in Tropical Berries (for me who loves girly hand sanitizer)

Leopard and Leather

The sun is shining, the leaves are changing and it's the perfect temperature to throw on a jacket over a light and airy blouse. This leopard and leather look is accented with pops of red in lipstick and my favorite pair of heels. I especially love the leopard blouse that is perfect for the fall. The mixture of leopard on the blouse and snakeskin on the handbag are also fun and don't compete with each other because they have a similar color palette. This look is great for a night out with the girls or to add a little edge to your everyday style.

What I'm Wearing:

Leopard Blouse: mark.

Leather Jacket: a.n.a (JCP)

Jeans: St. John's Bay (JCP)

Heels: Jessica Simpson

Earrings: Forever 21

Sunglasses:  NY&Co.

Handbag: Guess (about 5 years ago)

Lipstick: mark. (Color in Cha Cha)

Polished Up Tuesday: Wet n Wild's Wet Cement

This long-lasting polish from Wet n Wild in the color Wet Cement was an awesome find at less than $2. I really love this pretty taupe color. The brush for this polish is large (and you know how much I love my large brushes). Just one swipe of the brush on my pinky finger nail and it was covered perfectly with polish without any excess on my fingers.

It took two coats to achieve the look above. One coat was almost completely opaque but not quite as much as I like. The only issue I have is a few bubbles showed up here and there in the polish.
