Do you like candy colored things? I know I do! My eyes are always drawn to bright colorful things, whether it’s makeup or painted walls or random objects.

• Birthday Girl - Pink with iridescent fuchsia sparkles
• Darling – Teal with iridescent turquoise sparkles
• Magnetric – Metallic magenta with turquoise sheen
• Paperdoll – Lavender with silver sparkles
• Stella – Jet black with rainbow colored sparkles
• Tipsy – Grass green with shimmer

Yep, I’m on a Dior kick lately, as I previously mentioned. The nail colors they are putting out for fall and winter this year are too good to pass up in my book!

I must apologize for the sorry state of my nails at the moment. I got really sick of them yesterday so cut them super short. I do this pretty frequently actually but try to have a bunch of nail posts already lined up.

To Tie Dye or not to Tie Dye, that is the question.

For me the answer is usually “not to Tie Dye”. Even though I am originally from Berkeley, aka the land of Tie Dye, I am not one to be attracted to anything with that pattern. In fact, I avoid it like the plague. However lip gloss is a whole other realm!

*Bonus* - You can get ‘em now on Sephora while the Friends & Family sale is still going on! More details below.

Have you ever heard of Glitter Gal Cosmetics? Perhaps not if you live stateside because they hail from the land down under: Australia.

The company was started by and now is run by two women who have been best friends for many years, Anna and Kerry. Kerry worked as a makeup artist and model and Anna worked in the private label cosmetic industry, so they had the know-how and drive to start their own cosmetics company.

Glitter Gal offers a wide-variety of cosmetics including things for eyes, lips, face and nails.

They have a line called 3D Holographic which includes about 16 holographic colors of nail polish.

The formula was good with these, not too thick or thin. I only used two coats of each color for opacity. These seem to only come in mini bottles which are 0.3 fl oz.
