Tuesday's Top 5: Fall Nail Polish Colors

There are so many reasons to love fall, the leaves changing, sweaters, pumpkin spice lattes, but my favorite thing about fall is the colors! I love walking around town and admiring all of the colors that the leaves have to offer this time of year. That is why this Tuesday's top 5 is all about fall nail polish colors! There's nothing like a good manicure anytime of the year but there is just something about fall colors that make me feel safe and cozy!


1. Pepper (Zoya)- This is considered your classic red color. Perfect for any occasion and goes with absolutely everything. You can never go wrong with any shade of red, but for fall, the darker reds are where it's at!



2. Fall In Line (Essie)- Essie is definitely my favorite nail polis brand. They are a little pricey but it's totally worth it. I am absolutely obsessed with this color, it's not the first color you think of when you think of fall but it can't hurt to shake things up a little, make a statement!


3. Nocturne (JINsoon Tess Giberson Collection)- Not your typical red, brown or orange fall color but it definitely falls under the fall category. It's a dark grey color, there's something about these darker colors that I absolutely love and fall is the perfect time to start using them again! 


4. Impossibly Plush (CND Vinylux)- Pink is always in style, the shade of pink you use depends on the season! For summer and spring you want a hot pink or a light pink in order to make you look more tan. In the fall you want more of a dull, grayish pink because of the colder weather and the colors present around you. That's what makes this color so great. 


5. Rich Chocolate (OPI)- Another one of my absolute favorite nail polish brands but also a little pricey. This color is a definite go-to fall color! For fall the burnt shades, like this one, are a staple, when in doubt, look for any type of burnt red or orange ad you'll be set!


Have a fall favorite nail polish color? I would love to try new colors this season!

Relationships and Nail Polish

Most people would agree with the idea that friendship is a two way street. Equal amounts of give and take. Although some of my friends certainly are this way there are without a doubt some that are not equal in their amount of give and take. I definitely still love these people and cherish the relationships but some times it becomes too much to handle so I have to take a little break from the relationship, which breaks my heart but I know we will be closer because of it.

This is going to sound like a random question but I promise it will make sense in one second. Have you ever painted your nails and one hand always comes out better than the other? (If you're a righty, chances are your left hand comes out better and vice versa for all of the lefty's out there). This is how I view some of my friendships. Me, being the right hand doing the decent painting, is able to take the time and make the nails on the left hand look beautiful and clean. Meanwhile, the left hand looks beautiful and all it is able to do in return for the right hand is get paint all over the fingers and just make a complete mess. The right hand puts in the effort to make the left hand look beautiful, but the left hand isn't able to return the favor.




I know that might sound crazy but that is the best description I could use to possibly explain how these certain relationships work. I feel like I'm constantly putting in so much effort and getting close to nothing in return, and it can get to you after a while. Don't get me wrong, I love doing things for people and making them happy, it's one of my favorite things! It's just frustrating getting nothing in return.

Any advice on friendships or relationships in general? I'm open for some insight!
