piCture pOlish Honey Dew Review/Swatches

Good morning and welcome to another piCture pOlish Thursday! I hope you guys are enjoying these posts as much as I am. piCture pOlish was a new brand to me and I'm so excited to be working with them and I'm really impressed with their polish!


Honey Dew is a juicy melon green that was perfect in two coats. The formula on these polishes is so great!

Zoya Cashmere Collection Swatches/Review

Now that the weather is starting to cool down, it's finally time for me to break out my fall polish! Zoya never disappoints me with their creme collections and the Cashmere collection is no exception. Let's get to it!

Flynn is a camel brown shade that needed three coats. I like the shade but unfortunately don't like it very much with my skin tone.


Louise is a warm dark chocolate brown shade. I don't think I have any shades like this in my collection and I'm happy to have it! Two coats here.


Hunter is the perfect shade of hunter green. This is two coats.


Sailor is a great shade of navy blue with the slightest purple tinge to it. I used two coats here.


Pepper is a warm shade of red with a hint of brown. This is different than any other red I have and I really like it. Two coats.


Livingston is red. I'm really tired of all the reds that seem to have been released this season. At least Pepper is slightly more interesting! I would have loved to see a purple or anything else really than other red. This is two coats.


The Cashmere collection is on sale at www.zoya.com now and each polish retails for $8. Do you plan on picking any of these up? My favs are Hunter and Sailor!

piCture pOlish Electric Dream Review/Swatches

Are you guys ready to drool? I'm pretty sure this is my favorite piCture pOlish shade so far. Electric Dream is a stunning warm shade of pink with tons of gold shimmer packed into it.


This polish is absolutely gorgeous! The formula is great as well; I used two coats for these photos and it was so smooth and effortless to apply.

Ellie 50 Shades of Lime Top & My New Obsession Leggings Review/Photos

Good morning everyone! I have a review of some really awesome work out gear for you guys today. Ellie is a fabulous brand that offers great quality (and cute!) clothes for running, yoga, and any other activity you might be interested in.


As an Ellie Ambassador, I received two of their pieces to test out and review. I chose the 50 Shades of Lime long sleeve top and charcoal gray My New Obsession leggings.


The 50 Shades of Lime top is made from moisture wicking fabric, so it keeps you dry while exercising. I've worn it running during some of the cooler mornings we've been having and it's great for keeping me warm in the beginning of my runs and cooler towards the end.


My only complaint about the top is that it rides up while I'm running. I've worn it with a few different bottoms and it stays better with some and rides up more with others. Just depends on what you're wearing it with, I guess. However, THUMB HOLES. I don't think that needs any more explaining. Simply awesome.


I literally do not have one single bad thing to say about the My New Obsession leggings. They are, quite literally, my new obsession.


They fit perfectly and are so soft and comfortable. I've even worn them out with boots and a long top because they're so awesome. I never have to adjust them when I run and they keep me warm without making me overheat.


The one downfall: pantylines. But that's pretty much unavoidable (unless you go commando, in which case, power to you!) and doesn't bother me in the slightest. However, I know it may bother some of you so it's worth mentioning.


Are you ready for a treat? If you use this link to order from Ellie, you'll get 20% off of your order! And in addition to ordering regularly off of their website, Ellie also offers a subscription service called the Fit Fashionista Club. The FFC costs $49.95/month and each month you get to pick any two pieces from their website for them to send you! If you've ever gone shopping for high quality work out gear, you know what a deal that is! You can use the link at the beginning of this paragraph to sign up for the FFC as well.


Be sure to follow Ellie on Twitter and Facebook and let me know if you order anything and how you like it! xo!

piCture pOlish Kryptonite Review/Swatches

Hello! Welcome to Week 3 of piCture pOlish swatches! This beauty is Kryptonite, a medium green jelly polish packed with silver micro glitter.


I used three coats here but could have gotten away with two if I had done them slightly thicker. I love this shade of green and I feel like it's hard to find a great green like this in the polish world. Kryptonite definitely is a winner in my book!

piCture pOlish Ocean Review/Swatches

Good morning everyone! I have another gorgeous piCture pOlish shade for you all today. This is Ocean, a crystal clear medium blue with tons of silver micro glitter.


This is three coats of Ocean. The bright light from my lamp makes it look more sheer than it is; in real life it was a completely opaque jelly at three coats.
