I started this week with Hare Polish's Damn Fine Coffee from her original Twin Peaks Collection. I ADORE Hare Polish so much. It is by far my favorite indie brand. The creator has been ill, so her store is out of stock right now, but she's working on a restock and a new release. You can find information about her shop HERE.
I purchased DFC in the spring and have been eagerly waiting for fall to wear it. It is a stunner! My photo doesn't do it justice. It is a brown jelly base packed with copper and gold flaky and round glitters. It also has a gorgeous gold shimmer and in strong lighting, there is a sprinkling of vibrant red glitters that look like sparks of fire in the polish. I could not keep my eyes off of my nails while I was wearing this. Most Hares are 3 coaters, but this one was an easy 2. Removal is a pain though-I had to use the tinfoil method and even then it didn't get all the glitter off.
After 3 days of brown nails, I opted for some color. My Ulta had a sale on Zoyas (buy 2 get 1 free) and I can never resist even though I have a ridiculously sized Zoya collection. I picked up Zoya Talia from this year's Island Fun Collection.
Talia is a bright yet dusty turquoise. It is nearly a one-coater, but two-coats were needed to even it out. What I loved about this year's summer collections is that the colors are bright and bold, yet deep and slightly dusty which makes them very wearable in the fall as well as the spring or summer. I thought this color was gorgeous, but it is a bit of a stainer and requires careful removal. (All of Zoya's medium-dark blues seem to stain my nails. None of their other colors do.)
At the end of the week, I wore another color that I was eagerly waiting for fall to wear-Zoya India. India is from last year's Ignite Collection. Just look at how gorgeous it is!
India is a deep burgandy base with gold flaky shimmer. It is dark and vampy but the shimmer softens it and adds interest. It definitely is a stunner for fall.
