The Perfect Fall Polish

*Made by me. Paired with a dress by Mod Cloth

Wow, it's been a long time reader. I thought had retired from the wonderful world of nail polish blogging, but alas. She's a fickle mistress. I just can't give it up. So, I'm here today to present the perfect fall polish.

I was contacted by Mod Cloth to pair one of their party dresses with nail art inspired by said dress. Now, if you know me I'm horrible at nail art. So, I created a polish to go with the dress I chose. That's one thing I'm good at doing. I can make polish like no other.

Feeling like making the most of what's left of summer? Go check out their dresses and the post I was inspired by.

Here's a picture of the dress in question. Isn't she gorgeous?

You can see my love of vintage and lace with this dress.  I like to think I captured this dress really well in my polish. I wanted something simple that would let the dress shine. With that in mind I created a brown-red base with shimmer in gold and pink. I really love how it turned out. Simple, yet gorgeous.




I'm in love with it. I never want to take it off. I think it works well with the dress and as a great color for fall. The weather her has been super humid and my original swatch wound up being matte, and while I'm not a fan of matte polishes, this color matted could make me a believer. It just that stunning. 

While the intent was to make a polish just for this dress, I think this would be a great addition to my store. If you're interested in a bottle let me know and I can make up a batch to list.
