P.O.S.H Beauty: Nail Polish Glamour

So it's going into Fall. Time for a nail polish makeover. I've been wearing this color for a few weeks and I'm thinking (and the nail tech too) that's it's time to change. :) What colors are you thinking about wearing through the fall season? I've found 2 that I like so far. 
Once you've decided what color, here are a few tips borrowed from here and there and from years of polishing my own nails to get you on the road to a fresh new color on your toesies and fingers. Enjoy! And add your tips in the comment box if you have any, the more the merrier!

My toesies... I love this color but its time to change it up. It's called For Audrey by China Glaze
Maybe Cocoa since the leaves a turning brown in the Fall... Color by NYX
I am in love with this color OPI, fall polish
I Luv this color from OPI!! Hmmm... Thx sis :)
Or  tangerine "ish" in honor of Thanksgiving. Color by NYX
  • Painting with your opposite hand can be very tricky. Take your time painting that hand first. If you get too fed up, then ask someone to paint it for you.
  • To fix those annoying lines of polish next to your cuticles, take a little makeup brush and dip the end in nail polish remover. Fix up that messy nail.
  • If your nail polish clumps up on your nail, remove it with the nail polish remover. If the nail polish is old, roll it between your hands to warm it up. Then, if clumping continues, put in a few drops of nail polish thinner (not nail polish remover, nail polish remover will ultimately ruin a bottle of nail polish if used as thinner) which can be found at your local beauty store.
  • Try adding a thick lotion around the nail bed with a Qtip to keep overlapping polish from sticking. Make sure not to get it on the nail bed. 
  • If your nails keep breaking and the nail polish makes them look gross, buy some nail hardening fluid (this can be found in the makeup section of drugstores, department store and chemist shops) which you apply before the nail polish. It will make your nails nice and strong so they look long and pretty when painted.
  • If you hate the nail polish smell, try going outside so you don't have that smell in your home.
  • Apply more than one coat if the color isn't strong enough. Especially with the latest bright colors, one coat is never enough.

  3. Felicia, I'm not sure what color it is, but I do believe it's black as well. I like black, especially when its shiny and fresh. Try it!
