Hi! This past Friday I enjoyed a fabulous fill after work to wrap up the week in a pretty little bow. As much as I loved my glittery nails for Halloween, they had to go because it was time for jewel tones baby! The rich and colorful shades of fall are my forever favorites and I really do love them all. From burnt orange and plum to emerald greens and mustard yellow, it is out with the old and in with the bold as soon as autumn hits! With glittering gemstones on my mind, I approached the nail polish wall at Elysian Nails and came up with this ultra pretty Violet & Garnet combo. Check it out:

When it comes to fall colors, the only one I don’t wear in terms of clothing is purple. The royal shade looks amazing on my mom and sister but it leaves a lot to be desired for yours truly. That doesn’t mean I can’t incorporate pops of it with nails and accessories, though! Regardless of if I look good in it or not, purple always makes me smile because it is my niece’s favorite color and I just couldn’t say no to the shimmery violet that I know she’ll love! To keep with the blingy vibes of jewel tones, I selected a gorgeous garnet with a hint of glitter to compliment it. This red is absolutely ravishing and brings me back to a fond memory of a family vacation in year’s past. We actually went garnet mining during a horseback ride in North Carolina back in the day! With such lovely mental mementos attached to both colors, this was truly a perfect combo. ❤

While I prefer to have my fills during my break at work, it is SO nice to go to the salon and not feel rushed. I don’t think I looked at the clock once during my post work appointment and it really was a beautiful thing. The relaxation was even more enhanced with the fact that I could just go home afterwards instead of hightailing it to my next shift! As my go to gal sharpened and shaped away, we recapped our Halloween outings, my Italy adventure, and ALL of the books we have read since my last visit. By the time my nails were dried, we each had several recommendations to pick up from the library ASAP! Having a nail tech who loves to read as much as I do is seriously the best!

These nails are so divine for fall and I am not over them because it makes me happy every time I look at them!!!! ❤

What is your favorite fall color? Do you have any holiday plans lined up? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah
