Jinsoon x Goop
Jinsoon and Goop recently teamed up for an adorable nail polish collaboration. There was two sets, one that featured all neutral shades and one that was varying shades of red. The red one was definitely my favorite and offers three of the best red polish colors I've ever tried.
I've been a Jinsoon polish fan for years now (see my previous posts here) and find her formula to be one of the best around. It wears FOREVER, hardly chips and dries within just a few minutes. Below is a look at the swatches of the three shades: Audacity (deep burgundy), Coquette (medium red) and Vanity (bright vibrant red).
There is a very slight difference between Coquette (middle finger) and Vanity (thumb and first finger), but in person Vanity is much brighter and more vibrant. Coquette falls in that perfectly classic shade of red that we all need in our collection, and Audacity is a grown up burgundy that is suitable for any and all occasions.
All shades have a creamy finish and apply evenly with two coats. I can typically get 5-6 days out of Jinsoon polishes, and even more than a week if I use with the Formula X Sephora system (which you need by the way, it's a holy grail for me). Every nail collection needs those classic reds and this set is perfect for that.

Essie Fall 2014 Collection With Swatches
I get excited for a lot of different nail polish launches each season, but Essie is the one brand that always seems to get it right. They consistently make classic colors that become cult favorites that all of us will wear for years and years. And I love the fact that most of the shades they release each season become permanent so you don't have to fall in love with a color and then buy 25 bottles of it because it will disappear after the season is over. This fall collection is everything I would have expected from Essie - rich deep blues and browns, two neutral shades that I can't help but love and a classic red that seems suitable for any time of the year. Below are all the swatches and corresponding names.
My personal favorite is 'Take It Outside', as I'm sure all of you guessed. Though it doesn't sound appealing, I would describe it as the perfect mushroom shade - right? A good mix of gray and beige with no shimmer. I need another neutral nail polish like I need a hole in the head but I refuse to listen to reason when it comes to nail polish.
What shade is your favorite from the collection?

Beauty Bits: Holiday Nail Colors
Nothing will put you in the holiday spirit quicker than a festive holiday mani - a red holiday mani to be exact. Bright, classic, glittery or dark - red nails are the perfect finishing touch for this time of year. As one who doesn't always gravitate towards these shades normally, I find myself reaching for them over and over during the Christmas season. I searched through my collection to pull out some of my favorite shades that are sure to get your fingers (and probably you too) in the spirit. If I have worn them in a previous Sunday Nailday post, I will link to the swatch.
