MFW wrap up & some new nail polish...

Happy Tuesday kittens! Since we're doing a Milan fashion week wrap up today, I thought I'd throw in some pictures of my latest nail polish purchases/swatches! I miss blogging about personal things, so today is a great day to feature it.

Let's start off by talking about trends we saw in Milan:

1970s vibes - MAJOR. Almost every collection had some throwback elements. I loved it!

Pastels

Bold prints and colors

Very romantic garments

Fringe

Sheer paneling

Floral prints

Italian heritage/inspiration

My favorite overall look from Milan's collections has got to be:

Stella Jean! I love this look because it's bold and colorful, but extremely wearable. It has most of our trends we just discussed: belled shapes, bold and pastel colors, romantic garments, and Italian inspiration. Love the look!

My favorite collection is going to have to be a TIE (I just can't decide which one I love more!)

MOSCHINO. Even though some of the clothing is a little cheesy, I can't stop myself from loving the entire vibe of the collection. I adore the graphics, the colors, and the accessories. Who would have thought Moschino could knock it out of the park with these crazy inspirations twice in a row?!

Dolce & Gabbana - seriously a show-stopping collection. Every look was cohesive, full of Italian inspiration, and so very beautiful and romantic. D&G is really hitting their stride lately!

What did you think about Milan??

Finally, I'll leave you with some new polishes that I've been sporting!

Finally got my mitts on two FlossGloss colors! Thank you so much to Aoki Boutique in Philadelphia for carrying these beauties <3

Here is Faded, in two coats. I LOVED this color. It's a fabulous dark navy/gray/black that mimics the color of faded tattoo ink. The formula went on great and didn't chip for almost a week!

Here is Moon Baby. It's a gorgeous light blue-gray. In some lighting, it looks more pale blue, and others neutral gray. I love it! I used a matte top coat from Sally Hanson and it also was very chip resistant!

Enjoy your Tuesday, kittens <3 See you tomorrow!

Fan Friday...Floss Gloss

Floss Gloss has just recently released three new polishes as part of their Fall/Winter line, Lifestyles of the Floss and Gloss! These polishes have got some serious sass. Not only does the brand name their beauties flawlessly (I mean..Donatella..), the colors are unlike anything you've seen anywhere else.

If you aren't familiar with them, Floss Gloss was started in Cali in 2009 by art school besties, Janine and Aretha. Together, they concocted their polish which is cruelty free with no DBPs, toluene, formaldahyde, and formaldehyde resin. Boss nail polish that isn't harmful? I dig it.

Not only do their polishes rule, but their lookbook photos are perf. Below are snapshots of each of the shades. I love that it feels like a cohesive collection and also shows you how the polish looks on real fingernails (something not every website does)!

Needless to say, I have got to get my hands on these babies. I am especially lusting after Donatella - that color is unlike anything I own! Unfortunately, the shipping is a bit expensive, so I haven't been able to afford to purchase ANY of their polishes yet (Faded has been on my lust list for months). However, check the Retailers tab on their website to find a physical location to snag these gems in your city. I'm gonna get one next week at a local boutique :)

What do you think of Floss Gloss as a brand and as a product? Let me know!

Happy Friday <3
