autumn nail polish picks

Oooo my first ever beauty post. Granted we're not really talking about makeup now but we'll get to that. 

I have a confession to make: I have more nailpolishes than the average person needs. Heck, I buy more nailpolishes in a year than the average person buys in a lifetime! You could say it's a full-blown addiction.

So, here are my five favorite autumnal nail polishes:

1. Maybelline Super Stay Gel Nail Colour The-Inks In 'Plush Velvet'

Although I've only bought this one recently and have only worn it once so far, I can simply tell that I'll be loving it throughout fall and even into winter. It is a VERY dark blue that also looks kind of black in some lights. It goes with absolutely every outfit and looks gorgeous on the nails! Furthermore, I really rate the formuly of the Super Stay Polishes. They really do stay put until you go at them with nail polish remover. The ultimate test: I wore another shade on a seven-day stay in Greece. Not even a chip. Mind you we were building sand-castles, swimming in the sea or the pool and i didn't touch up once.

2. p2 All Light UV Nail Polish in '060-Sassy Stone'

I am very sorry to tell you that they have discontinued this range. Because it is the absolute perfect neutral autumn shade that looks good on not only every skin tone but also every nail length. I won't bang on about it to avoid being a total biatch because as I said it sadly is not available any more.

3. KIKO's Nail Polish In '363-Cherry Red'

Very beautiful berry polish. I would not necessarily call this a cherry red but oh well. KIKO claims that this formula of nail polishes is also supposed to strengthen the nails? Personally I have not noticed that happening but then again I don't wear a shade of this line every week. Perhaps over time? Anyway highly recommend checking out KIKO for nail polishes. They have a huge range of colours and aren't afraid to go really bold and bright.

4. Essie's 'Bahama Mama'

 A classic. I always crack this one out in the autumn time. It is such an effortlessly beautiful shade that looks good on finger- and toenails and always gets me compliments. Whenever I wear it, I get asked which polish it is and where i bought it. It seriously wouldn't be autumn for me without this polish. I even wore it to prom!

5. Essie in Bordeaux

Very very beautiful for any age and any skin tone. Although it is a rather deep and vampy

shade it manages to look super classy and elegant at the same time. Looks amazing paired with a plaid in deep wine colours. And do I even have to get started on the formula? You know that an Essie polish is always going to perform amazingly well in colorpay-off, smoothness and stamina. The color range is obviously great and moreover I adore the brush which makes each shade go on nicely and streak-free.

from scratch

Phew. Hi, do you remember us? It's been quite a long time since we've talked. We are very sorry about not posting an update or any signs of life for almost 5 months. Although it is the most cliché reason and nothing more than a lousy excuse, we've just been more than busy with graduating, figuring out the next step on the road of life and being generally not focused enough on our blog.

This is, however, about to change. As autumn is now not even around the corner any more but definitely among us, we thought it would be the perfect time of year to have another go at the whole blogging thing. With summer being over and university just about to start in October it ought to be managable, huh?

I, Alex, have recently moved to Perth, Australia. I am going to spend some time there making new experiences and getting to know the Aussie culture. So far I am absolutely loving it and having a blast!
I, Julia, will start studying English at the university of Graz, Austria, in a few days. I am really excited to fly the nest and to live in a dorm room with a roommate.
Due to us being over 13 000 kilometres apart, it is physically impossible to write posts together. For that very reason we will be writing seperate content from now on.

To sum this all up, BIG apologies for being completely MIA for the past couple of months. Expect loads of new posts full of fresh content and full of new ideas! There could even be posts about beauty and make-up *shhhh*!

So. We are back and starting kinda from scratch.
