Hello lovelies! Painted Polish is kicking off the Autumn season with two gorgeous new collections! First is the Rise & Grind Quartet which consists of four neutral polishes filled with holo microglitters. Although I don't drink coffee, I can appreciate anything inspired by it because I love the smell and love the rich brown shades! The second is the Pumpkin Spice & Chill Trio, consisting of two tawny orange shade with different elements and a gold holo glitter topper. The formulas were all easy to work with except for the glitter topper which takes a little more finessing. Let's take a look..

ORLY Desert Muse Fall 2020
Hello lovelies! My kids have been back in school for a couple weeks now (!!!) and it feels so good to be back on a schedule again! I have been getting a lot accomplished around that house. Maybe I'll get more blogging done too? My two year old is still an absolute terror though, so I'm not counting on it.
ORLY has released a Fall collection that consists of six cremes. The formulas were all perfectly smooth and easy to work with. I recommend this whole collection if the color story is up your alley. Let's look at the swatches..

It’s very lightly scented with a tart margarita, grapefruit, and cherries, and is in a travel size 2.0 oz bottle.
