Chicago Fashion Week 2013

Hello everyone! This week my family and I went to fashion week in Chicago for the first time. It was simply wonderful. We only got to go on Wednesday (we are very busy people!) but nevertheless, it was really amazing. All of the designers whose creations we saw on Wednesday were very talented and so were the models.

Now, I know that this is a nail art blog, not a fashion blog, and so, in case you were wondering, I did do my nails for the event. I wore Zoya's Veruschka on my fingernails. It's a deep, matte green color that reminds me of the forest. It's a really fall-like green and probably the prettiest green that I have. ( I will do a separate blog post featuring my nails.). Sadly though, I don't know what was worn at the fashion show. I wasn't sitting that close

Now, back to the subject. I found my experience at fashion week to be very inspiring. I was thinking of trying to create a nail art design based off of the trends that I noticed or based off of a particular outfit? Please tell me what you think of that idea. As we were sitting really close, we were able to capture some pretty good pictures (which I have placed underneath this text). I hope that you all enjoyed this post and all of the pictures in it. Maybe they can be as inspiring to you as they were to me. Please comment on this post and subscribe to this blog. I will talk with you all soon! Bye!

PS: By the way, my sister has a blog post on our experience at fashion week too. Here's the link: http://ashleypopstyle.blogspot.com/2013/10/fashion-week.html

Covergirl 'glosstinis' review

Hello again everyone! Covergirl currently has limited edition, summery nail polishes named 'glosstinis.' I thought that the name of the collection and the colors of the polishes were awesome so I bought two of them. I tested them yesterday and I really liked them. Therefore, I decided to do a review on them to share my opinion with you all.

First off, I think that they have an excellent formula. They went on smoothly, they didn't streak, and they were pretty opaque for the colors that I chose. The yellow was less opaque then the peachy one, but I think that it was still pretty opaque for a yellow. They also only require two coats of polish as it should be.

The colors of both of them were also very pretty. The first color, which is named 'Bahama Mama,' was a peachy, shimmery color with some pink in it. The other one, which is named 'Lemon Drop' is a bright, creamy yellow, but it isn't too bright. Both colors are also almost perfectly true to the color that they are in the bottle. I simply adore the two that I have and I want to go and buy the rest of them.

Below are pictures of the polishes on my nails, and in the bottles. I decided to wear 'Bahama Mama' on the majority of my fingers and 'Lemon Drop' as an accent on my ring finger.  I hope that you enjoyed this review and will give your input, and/or subscribe to my blog! I will talk to you guys later. Bye!
