Nails Trend Fall/Winter 2010: Essence n°62 Must Have - Gunmetal Grey Colors

I love Essence nail polishes! they are cheap but for such a small price they are really great quality. A couple of weeks ago I bought this Essence Multi Dimension XXXL Shine in the color n°62 Must-Have. It's a pretty gunmetal dark grey color, perfect for fall and winter. Grey is definitely in this season, and this is one of the prettiest shades I found on the market.
The finish is metallic but there's no shimmer in it. It is pretty pigmented as you can see in the photo and that's only one coat of it.
I used an Essence Top Coat over it and it held pretty well.

What do you think about it?

Price: 1.99€ in EU.

Fall/Winter 2010 Nail Polishes: E.l.f gold nail polish in Blush

Gold nail polishes are very in this fall/winter 2010. I bought this E.L.F Nail polish in Blush last year I think, but I didn't really used it until yesterday. I fell in love with it, it's a beautiful gold color with a bit of pink, almost a ROSE GOLD color.
It took me two coats to have the color you see in the picture, but I like opaque coverage. I adore E.l.f Nail polishes, they're cheap and they last more than my Mac ones.

Price: 1.50£ in UK, 1.70€ in EU, 1$ in US.
Rate: 4/5

Fall/Winter 2010 Nail Polishes: E.l.f Mod Mauve

Mauve is definitely a trendy color this fall/winter 2010. I bought this nail polish this summer, but I used it only recently and I really love it. It's a perfect color that goes with every outfit (black, brown, bright colors). It is a brownish/mauve color, neutral but still fun. I adore E.l.f nail polishes, they're cheap and they last quite a while.

Burberry - Timepieces Fall Winter 2010 Watch

I was reading as usual Vanity Fair Italy and I saw a add that caught my eye. It was a Burberry watch add from the new Fall/Winter Collection 2010 Time pieces. It's an oversize man style watch with the signature stripes pattern. It's grey and black and really pretty. It's classic but fun at the same time. A must have.

Looks I love #2: Classy Hilary Duff

I love this Hilary look. Maybe my readers have noticed that I like classy looks.

-Shiny, retrò kind of man shoes are really in this fall and I love that they have no strings.

-The mini tweed skirt it's classy vintage but modern at the same time.

-The cardigan it's preppy and it gives a touch of casualty to the look.

I would have paired a shiny black bag with this outfit, but It's pretty cute anyway.

What do you think?

Nails Trend Fall/Winter 2010: Essence Matt Top Coat Nail Polish

The fall nails trend seem to be a matte look, so when I saw the essence matt top coat I decided to try it because I love essence and it was so cheap, only 1,99€. I tried it and it looks so funny, I don't know maybe I'm not used to have opaque nails, I'm not quite sure if I like them or not. The essence top coat it's really nice though. Have you tried other brands matte top coat?

Here's what essence website says about it: "Now it’s easy to get the ultimate matt-trend for all your nail polishes! the top coat contains special mattifying ingredients that remove gloss and shimmer from your nail polish. simply apply over the desired nail polish, leave to dry, and get sensational results!"

Let me know what you think. I'll post some photos later because my camera just broke :(

MAC Venomous Villains - Haul Part 2 - Photos & Reviews

This is the second part of my Mac Venomous Villains haul. Here's the other things I got.

From Left to Right:

- Innocence, Beware! Lipstick: Light yellow pink. It's a Nude with pink undertone. It doesn't make you look like you're dead. One of my favourite nude of all time. It applies smoothly and It's so moisturizing. It's a creamsheen finish.

- Bite of an Apple Blush: Soft coral pink. It's a matte finish, it's opaque and such a pretty natural looking flush color. Great with wearable everyday looks.

- Formidable! Nail Polish: Teal green with pink multi-changing pearl. It's gorgeaous but It's pretty sheer. Needs at least two coats to show up and It's better If you put an opaque color under it.

- Truth & Light Sheer Powder: Shimmer that reflects silver and pink. I'm not sure yet what is its use, I use it on top of blushes to give them a little bit of shimmer. It has a cooling effect which is pretty nice.

Hope you like the reviews. See you soon.

MAC Venomous Villains - Haul Part 1 - Photos & Reviews

I love this Mac Collection...I was shocked that most of the stuff was already sold out after a couple of hours here in Italy. Fortunately I bought some products that I wanted to show you and review for you.

From left to right:
- Mean & Green Nail Polish: Purple with teal multi-changing pearl. Needs at least two coat to show up, but It is such a pretty color.

- Resort Life Lipgelee: Off white beige with pink pearl. It is amazingly pretty but It's a little bit sticky and leaves glitter everywhere.

- Hot House Lipglass: Deep raspberry with pink blue and silver pearl. This is my favourite. It's opaque, goes on smoothly and sparkles like no other.

- Devilishly Stylish Lipglass: Light nude with gold pearl. It's great over any Mac nude lipsticks like: Creme de nude, Myth or Shy girl. It's pretty sheer on its own.

- My Dark Magic Mineralize Eyeshadow Duo: Deep pink with pink pearl / Deep plum with purple pearl. It is so pretty and it shows up best wet with a black base on the lid. No Glitters fall out if you use it wet.

- Briar Rose Beauty Powder: Soft violet pink with pearl. It's a satin to me. So beautiful, it gives a natural pink flush and It's not sheer at all like all Mac beauty powders.

I hope this was helpful...Soon I'll post the rest of the collection I own.
