Ring Fetish

Look what I found at Brown Eyed Girl in Annapolis! During my recent visit to this beautiful, historic city, I peeked into this funky boutique on Main Street. My jewelry collection just wouldn't be complete without these fun midi-rings and arrowhead necklace! Chevron for your thoughts? Apparently my attraction to this design isn't waning. I'm okay with that!

Enjoy your Friday, Everyone!

finale

For the most part, I'm an OPI kinda girl. It's the go-to, reliable brand for nail color both subtle and funky. Every once in awhile an Essie color catches my attention so I give it a shot. This time it's a bold orange color. One thing I have found in my personal experience with Essie is that it takes a lot of coats. Usually it's because of the consistency, but this time it was because of the dullness! After the first coat, it immediately started drying-- awesome! But it dried to a dull color-- not so awesome.

I added a second coat and it held some, but I took the photo before the dullness set in once again. Without a top coat, I would have been in trouble. Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat to the rescue! It added the intended shine, and I'm out the door in 5.

These two products are a pair. And I intend to wear them both several times this fall!
