Wet n Wild 1 Step Wonder Gel

I found this in the clearance bin at Walmart and I am not really sure why it was there! I found other polishes, that were not clearanced out...actually thinking back, I was at Walmart earlier and I found this exact polish that was not on clearance. I am not sure why, who knows! I am certainly am not going to complain at all! This is that good of a polish!

Cyantific Method is such a gorgeous Cyan color...also when I first wore this, or well looked at the name, I didn't get it.. Now I do upon writing it for the third time! Cyantific..like Scientific. Get it? I obviously didn't at first. Go figure!

I actually like how this picture came out, only because you can see how it looks in various degrees of lighting. The ring finger (3rd from left) if what the polish looks true to life.This applies so smooth and effortlessly! Like spreading butter over warm toast! Depending on how thick that you decide to apply it, it will take 1-2 coats.

One thing I do want to warn you about, especially if you haave a small amount of nail space, the brush on this is rather large. It however, is still easy to use, even on my pinky, which is my smallest nail. The brush is just about the width of my pinky. I do think that it makes it that easy to apply. This is also in a black bottle, I am not sure if that means anything in particular, but you will have a bit of a time trying to see how much you have left.

I also want to mention that I did not use a top coat. This is pretty shiny on its own!


Have you tried any of the Wet n Wild 1 Step Wonder Gel polishes?! I would love to know if you have and what you think of them!

Square Hue Ice Skate Rockefeller Center 12.16

Press Sample

It is that time of year again! December's Square Hue box arrived a couple of days ago and of course I was excited! I was excited to find out what the theme was and what the polishes would look like! It has been another year of swatching for Square Hue that has been so fun! I hope you all enjoyed seeing all of the polishes this year! 

The first polish is aptly names Frosty. They call this a shimmer polish and I would have to agree with that. This is a very light silver based polish with micro silver shimmer. If you want to wear this alone, with no base color, prepare to use 2+ coats. I used three in the picture BUT you can definitely use more. 

Rudolph is a straight up shimmery red. This is the PERFECT red for the holiday season because it is that classic Christmas Red. Depending on how you apply this you could get away with 1 coat, 2 at the most, which is what I used.This is one of those reds that I can definitely see myself wearing throughout the entire year because it is pretty and if you think about it, it looks like Rudolph's shiny red nose!

Jingle Bells is a darker gold. Again, it is one of those polishes, that if you looked at it, you would associate it with Christmas. They classify this polish as a foil, but again, in my opinion I don't really think it is a foil. I would consider it more of a metallic shimmer polish. 

I do like this collection and I think that it definitely embodies the Holiday (Christmas) season. The polishes are really pretty and I love that they can give you that glitz that you want during the entire Holiday season! I would have loved to have seen something maybe about Chanukkah or maybe Kwanzaa, but if you really think about it, the red could go for both Christmas and Kwanzaa and the silver can go for Chanukkah. 

What is your favorite Adventure from 2016, or your favorite polish that Square Hue created this year?! I think mine would have to be Pompidou for sure! 

China Glaze It's Alive!

Purchased Myself

Hey everyone!

How are you doing?! Well I hope!

I'm putting this post early because I might be a little delayed on new posts except the couple I already have pictures added too. I have no idea what happened but the screen on my laptop is broken and I'm hoping we can get it fixed quickly :( so please please bare with me!! :(

Today's post is one I debated about putting up because it was a LE polish back in 2011 from China Glaze's Haunted Halloween collection. I'm sure you can find this on eBay and Amazon for reasonably cheap. I posted a picture on Instagram and it was pretty popular (for me at least) so I figured that I would put it here and show everyone! :D

This is definitely one of my favorite polishes. The only big downfall with this polish is that it is so thick it's kind of hard to manage. Once you get it on though it's gorgeous!

The reason my Pinky and Index finger look a little weird is because I topped with this Ghoulish Glow (China Glaze's Glow In The Dark polish) and it was a little thicker on those two nails. hah

This is 2 coats of polish. You do definitely need 2 coats for this unless you put it over another polish, which why would you?! :P It's so...just so gorgeous!

Isn't this just so sexy and gorgeous! Mmm! I need to find another bottle of this because this one is actually close to being empty, that's how much I've used it! :O

What do you think of this polish?!

SquareHue Skydive Interlaken April 2016

Press Sample

I wasn't really expecting anything from this collection to be honest. Between you, me and the rest of the Internet, I stayed off of Instagram most of the month so I didn't even know this months theme. There has been a lot of family stuff going on and preparing for my Mom to have surgery on the 19th and one other thing we really aren't talking about that deals with another family member. I did tweet about it when I found out, but that is all I really said about it. Unfortunately the big C happens to those you least expect it to happen too. That is all I shall say about that.

To a more happy note, this box was the colorful light of my month. It showed up on the 2nd of the month, but then again, I am only a few hours from Miami (where SquareHue) is located. So, it's kind of a sneaky advantage to me. *cackles* 

I think that out of all of the months so far, this is my collection. The polishes just scream Spring to me and I love it! 

Mönch looks like it would be a bright yellow jelly but it is in fact a bright yellow MATTE polish. I was really surprised when I read the card that it wasn't a jelly. It took two coats to make it opaque and surprisingly it was not hard to work with!

Eiger is a pink polish with a pretty light blue shimmer-pearl polish. SquareHue calls it a duo chrome and that is something that it definitely is not. Two coats is the perfect amount for a full coverage. You can still see a little bit of VNL, but not enough to warrant another coat.

Jungfrau has to be the most surprising polish for me. This is a light lavender polish with a lot of glitter in it. It's not chunky or does the glitter make it hard to work with. I've been waiting for them to make a polish with actual glitters in it instead of just a shimmer. I would say though that if you're wanting the amount of glitter I have, I would probably dab it a little bit here and there. That is how I got such an amount of glitter. On my pinky, I didn't dab though and you can see that you still get quite a bit of glitter. 

Jungfrau is the main summit in a group of mountains that is 4158 Meters (13,642 feet) high in the Bernese Alps.
Eiger is a 3970 Meters (13,025 feet) high mountain also in the Bernese Alps.
Mönch is a mountain that is 4106 Meters (13,474 Feet) high mountain also in the Bernese Alps.

Out of the three polishes from this month I would have to say that Jungfrau is probably my favorite. There is just something about it that I love. Plus, you can either wear it as one coat or two coats and I have shown in the above picture.
The formula's of these are all on par with each other and they all apply easily and you don't have to dab the glitter, it is just a personal preference. The whole collection is definitely a winner in my book!

If you would like to purchase this collection definitely check out SquareHue's shop! You can now buy individual polishes and previous collections! I LOVE that they're expanding!

Best, Autumn

SquareHue Dublin Pub Crawl - March 2016

Press Sample

I've been waiting to put blog posts back up until I can manage to get my .com address back, but then I realized that GoDaddy is giving me a hard time and wont release my domain name and I am not going to wait around and lose precious and valuable blogging time. I'm going to try and catch up with the next couple of weeks of the month and hopefully all will be good again! I'm also going to start throwing in more lifestyle-ish posts because I feel that the blogging world is too over saturated with beauty blogs and everyone is doing the same thing at the same time. There is nothing wrong with being different!

Without anymore rambling, here is the SquareHue Dublin Pub Crawl Collection!

I will say that I did internally groan a little bit when I saw the blue because they've been releasing quite a few blues as of late. They haven't released anything that is a dupe, but they have released a color a few months ago that is similar to this one.

St.John I would describe as a sky blue that is opaque in just two coats. The formula is lovely like usual with their cream polishes. 

Temple Bar I have been describing it as an orange creamsicle color that is a little darker than you would think. It's still gorgeous though! It is also opaque in two coats and the formula is just the same as usual.

Bridge Inn Is a "textured polish". I would say this is more of an off white with silver shimmers in it. Am I impressed with it? No. The formula is very thick and kind of hard to work with. It is a subtle textured polish though, so it's no like a PixieDust and it definitely is not like the China Glaze Textured ones. This does take two coats as well, but you have to make sure you get it even and really work with it. 

Is this my favorite collection by them? No it's not. There are definitely dupes out there for St.John, I do believe China Glaze has one and I can't think of the name at the moment. I don't have any polishes like Temple Bar and Bridge Inn so I am glad to have them! 

What do you think?

SquareHue December'15 - 2010 Decades Collection

Press Sample

I can't believe that it is already December! My Birthday is tomorrow and Christmas is in a week! It is crazy how quick 2015 passed! Hopefully 2016 goes a bit slower! One of my favorite things for the year has been being able to work with SquareHue and swatch their amazing polishes! It has been an absolute pleasure working with them and I can not wait to see what the new year has in store for them! Let's get into the swatches because I may get a little sappy and I don't think you all want to hear it! :P

I got my nails done a week ago and I was holding off on swatching these till I got my nails done and all of that....you have no idea how bummed I was when I saw the state of my cuticles! They were and actually still are a mess and I mean they are embarrassing! So I had to think of an alternate plan for the swatches! I'm not pleased with how they are, but I didn't want to subject these stunning polishes to ugly fingers!

Up first is Bird Fling 2010 which is a gorgeous classic red creme 

When I first opened the box, I groaned a little bit because I don't wear red polish often. However though, I am in love with this polish. It's such a classic red creme polish that I can see myself wearing this quite often! 

Baby,Baby,Baby 2010 Jewel Toned Purple Shimmer

I can hear you internally groaning at the name. Once I read the swatch card, I know I groaned and the song was stuck in my head for HOURS. If you don't know what I am talking about, it's Baby by Justin Bieber. Yeah. lol 

This is such a classic purple in my opinion. I call it classic because it is one of the few polish colors that my Mom would wear when I was younger.

Olympiad 2018 Champagne Foil

I honestly was no expecting to like this polish when I saw that it was labeled as a foil. I mean, total me thing but this doesn't remind me of a foil polish at all. Foils to me are metallic, gaudy and just...I am not a fan of foil polishes to say the least. This though it quite lovely and I can definitely see myself wearing it quite often!


All of the formulas were pretty standard. They applied evenly and only needed 2 MAYBE 3 coats with Bird Fling 20103 if you applied it very lightly. The polishes dried rather quickly, meaning I didn't have much down time in between coats or waiting for my nails to fully dry from start to finish.

I think that this is a good trio of colors to end the year on! Part of me expected Christmasy polishes, but at the same time I am glad that they weren't the standard red, green and silver...because everyone in their brother is doing those colors. I am quite pleased!

In a post before the end of the year I am going to do a video post showing all of the polishes from the year so you can see them all together! I think it will be super fun to do!

Rock the 2000s with SquareHue November 2015!

Press Sample

The theme for November's SquareHue box was the 2000s Decade. I wasn't really sure what to expect from this collection honestly, so I was surprised that two out of the three polishes were named after major tragedies that happened in the United States. I guess, I will explain more with each polish. I like that there was one color theme through the whole box, it makes it feel...complete? Whole? I'm not sure, there is just something solemn about it. 

The polish that you see below is aptly named Never Forget 2001. I'm sure that you all can instantly see what this polish was named after. The September 11th attacks. 

This polish is a metallic silver polish that is opaque in two coats. 

Just like with all..or well most metallic polishes, you can see the brush strokes with the polish. The pinky and ring fingers are without topcoat so you can see the polish in all of its natural beauty and my index finger has a top coat on it, not that you can really tell. BUT regardless, this is a really nice polish even though it's named after something super depressing. 

Idol 2002 is named after you guessed it...American Idol, which first aired in 2002. 

So, as you can tell I have 4 fingers (I mean I really have 10 but don't tell anyone, our secret.) and they are all different. Let's pretend that my index finger is invisible because we will chit chat about that at the end after the swatches.
My middle finger has 3 coats of Idol by itself with nothing under it.
Ring Finger has 1 coat over Hurricane 2005

Pinky Finger has 1 coat over Idol 2002.

This is a silver glitter polish and like a typical glitter polish is a pain in the big ol booty to remove, but the effect is worth it in my opinion. 

I didn't find that this polish had much of a sparkle to it, it's pretty but it's nothing that is like WAH-BAM in your face like some of their previous glitters. It still is pretty though!

This last polish is Hurricane 2005 which is aptly named after Hurricane Katrina. Another absolutely devastating disaster that happened.
This is a dark steel gray..silver? polish and it can be opaque in 1 coat if applied semi-thick, but if you apply it thinly, you can get it opaque in two coats.
Once again, my index finger is the only one with a top coat so you can see the polish in all of it natural glory as well as with some extra shine. I would call this polish a satin maybe? It wasn't matte but it wasn't shiny either. 

The one thing that I noticed with these polishes is that they dried rather quick. I've found that a lot of SquareHue's polishes dried quickly, but since these are metallic polishes, they dry just like other metallic polishes. I decided that since they dry quick, I would throw my hand in at stamping again. I know that I am terrible at it, but I wanted to try anyways to show that these can be used for stamping. My results are below. 

Don't ask me what plate I used...well I used two actually. One of them (index finger) was the one and only Cult Nails stamping plate and the other came from one of those Fing'rs sets that you can get at Walmart. I always had trouble with the love image, but dang-it I wanted to try it because it was one of the more intricate designs that I had. I think I did an okay job with it. Plus the Chevron, yay it came out looking okay as well. I'm pretty pleased with how these turned out for a n00b. :D You can't see it but I am patting myself on the back! :D

If you want to sign up for squarehue and get your own box head over too http://squarehue.com/ and sign up! Don't forget that they offer two boxes now, one that has all 3 polishes and one that only has two. Same collection, just one polish short.

SquareHue 1990s Decades Collection - October 2015

Press Sample

This months Squarehue box is based on the 1990s Decade. Since I was born in 1990, I was SUPER excited to see what was going to be in this box. I will tell you right off of the bat that I am feeling a little bit lukewarm about the collection as a whole. But we will talk about each polish first. 

Vogue 1990 

Shimmery Burgundy

2 coats

Be careful when you wear this, in the next two swatches you will be able to tell that this polish stains. Now, the staining does come off easily, but after I finished the swatches it took a little bit of scrubbing to get it off of the skin. 

Desert Storm 1991
Glossy Light Creamy Brown

2 Coats

The formula is nice and thick, but not thick to where it is hard to work with. Just make sure that when you apply this, you aren't applying it in a cold room because it will set pretty quick on you. This applied very easily and it didn't flood the cuticles or create a mess.

Y2K 1999

Shiny Gunmetal Grey
2 Coats

Be careful with this polish. The formula is thin, so it will definitely flood into your cuticles easily if you aren't careful. Other than that, the formula and the opacity of this polish is pretty impressive.


All in all, it's a pretty decent collection. While I do like the polishes, I'm not totally thrilled with the color selections for this month. I don't know, they just don't feel entirely 90s to me. Plus, it's kind of like Septembers collection, but slight differences. A different kind of red, a creamy brown instead of a creamy grey and a gunmetal instead of a chocolate brown. I just feel underwhelmed by this decades collection. Considering this was the one that I was looking forward to the most because I was born in 1990, and was probably a little over too excited. I mean, it's a total me thing, but I did hear from a couple of other people on facebook that they were pretty underwhelmed by this month as well.

Hopefully the 2000's decade box is pretty exciting! Here's to hoping for something new!

Cult Nails Dotticure

Yaaaaassss, it's been a while since I've done a Cult Nails NOTD.

This manicure focuses on most of the polishes from the Deceptive collection from October 2012. I kind of wanted to attempt to make it look like the color drop nails that Cristina from Let Them Have Polish did ages ago, but as you can see, it just didn't happen. I didn't do mine the way she suggested because I simply did not have the patience to wait to long. SO, I decided to dot it up. I'm not 100% happy with this look, however it does remind me of Mardi Gras. SO I guess that's something. 

Ahhhhh yeeeeees

So the only polish that I'm missing from the collection is Charlatan, unfortunately I don't have it and wont be able to get it. *sniffles* 

Polishes Use:
Wet n Wild Black Creme
Cult Nails Two Timer
Cult Nails Doppelganger
Cult Nails Alter Ego
Cult Nails Deception
FingerPaints Endless Wear Top Coat. 

So what do you think? I'm still not 100% happy, usually nail looks grow on me as I type posts up or as I stare at the pictures, but it's just not happening. Maybe I'll try it again and see what we get!

Wet n Wild Black Creme

I wanted to find a good alternative to Cult Nails Nevermore, since they're unfortunately liquidating their stock...as well as their website is currently down. Nevermore is the best 1 coat opaque black that I've found.

If you're looking for a good black, check out this Wet n Wild Black Creme. In the picture below (I didn't clean it up at this point, this was a base for another mani..sorry) is just ONE COAT. This bad boy is pretty bad a$$. It also dries pretty quick which is another positive. 

Did I also mention that it's $0.99! BAM what a steal. 

SquareHue March 2015 Decades Collection - 1920's

Hello Lovelies! I hope you all are doing well!
I'm still attempting to get the IRS to accept my Tax return, apparently in their eyes I don't exist and they keep rejecting my tax return for the same BS reason that was fixed in the first place but such is life...I'll just mail it in the old fashioned way! :P

Annnnnyways. This months SquareHue box was based on the 1920's. I know from talking to a few people they were expecting a lot of glitz and glam with this box, and I hope that they're not disappointed. The colors don't scream 1920's era to me BUT they're all gorgeous in their own way. SquareHue chose these colors for a reason and I'm sure they represent something from each other their years!

Cocktails & Cigarettes 1920 - Sheer Pink with a teal shimmer

Okay, we need to discuss how ridiculously obsessed I am with this polish. First off this polish can be worn by itself for a sheer wash of color BUT once you put it on top of another polish, it really stands out. In the picture below, I swatched it alone, 3 coats and I applied 1 coat over a plain black polish. This polish is very reminiscent of the Cult Nails Deceptive Collection. Those were top coats and to me, this polish is exactly that. It's simply stunning. Now because of how sheer it is, you will never be able to built it's opacity up.

Style & Speed 1921 - Silver Micro Glitter

I reallllllly thought that I was going to hate this polish. I've got a silver that looks similar to this and I despise it's life. However, this is really pretty. It's not one of those chunky micro glitter polishes, this is an extremely fine micro glitter. This polish is a definite two coater, unless you're daring and apply it  thick, then it can be a one coater. This is a metallic silver polish, then again aren't most silvers some kind of metallic? That's just the nature of silver. This polish though, I just can't get over how stunning and glitzy it is. This really pleased me to no end. I think it's a perfect fit to the 1920s.

Art & Deco 1925 - Copper Shimmer

We need to just stop the presses and appreciate this polish. I mean seriously, just stop and look at it. First off, this is a copper polish, I am obsessed with coppers (I need to buy more actually). However, in my opinion this is a unique polish, I don't have anything like it in my collection. This is pretty much like a serious secret duochorme. It's not obvious unless you see it. You get that deep copper shade with a lighter copper shimmer in it BUT this has pink undertones to it. In some light it looks a golden shimmer copper and in other lights it a rose gold copper. I mean, what's better then a rose cold copper?! I am so ridiculously obsessed with this polish that it's bordering on creepy. (Not really but you get the point right?) This polish is definitely a 2-3 maybe 4 coat polish depending on how thick/thin you apply it. On the pink & index finger I have 3 coats and on the ring & middle finger I have 2 coats. 

To address the formulas of the polishes. All of them are pretty much the same. They apply smoothly, but as you can see in Style & Speed you can see the brush strokes so do be aware of that. I don't have a favorite out of the trio because I actually like all of the polishes. Surprise surprise! I think Square Hue did a fantastic job with this months box. Superb! The polishes weren't too thin to where they flooded the cuticle and they weren't thick to where they were hard to work with. This is the formula of polish that I've become to associate with SH. I've also noticed that their polishes dry pretty which, that I appreciate. A woman is only defenseless when she is waiting for her nails to dry!

What do you think of the polishes? Do you have a favorite? Are you waiting for your box?!

SquareHue February Decades Collection 1910

Press Samples

Hello hello hello! I hope you all are doing well! These swatches should have been up around the 6th of the month. I do want to apologize about these being up incredibly late. Unfortunately on the 3rd of the month we had to put Kyri down (don't cry autumn..don't cry)...so that was pretty tough for me because she was mine. Yes, I owned a dog. I went threw a few stages of just some kinds of ish. Then I think on about the 6th we adopted two cats from our local-ish shelter. I've been dealing with that and keeping an eye on Anya because she's never interacted with other cats before. The first night I got zero sleep because I was so stressed out because she was absolutely not impressed.Then on top of all of that I've been sick again. it's been a horrid year so far! However. I'm going to stop chatting about that at this moment because I don't want to distract anymore from the post itself. So I will go into everything at a later date and show you all the new kitties. Then on top of all of that I've been sick again. it's been a horrid year so far!

Also, before we get started, I want to say address the fact that these swatches are not on my fingers. I ended up messing my hand up and cut one of the cuticles pretty bad on my swatching hand and I had to let it heal. It's just about healed now, thankfully so regular swatches of other polishes and all of that jazz will happen again. I also kind of wanted to see how the reaction would be to swatches without a skin tone behind them.

Without further adieu, lets get this party started.

Tunic - 1910 - Semi-Sheer Peach

I found the application of this iffy. It was very uneven and spotty. It took 4 coats to get to this opacity. 

In the three nails (I kind of broke the 4th by accident), you can see that they all look kind of different and that's because of the coats. They all have 4 coats but I applied each differently. The left has just thin coats, the middle has 3 thin and 1 thick and the one on the left is 4 thick coats. As you can see, it's not entirely even still.

The polish was inspired by inspired by sheer tunics popular with fashionable ladies during the first couple years of this decade.

Kewpies - 1912 - Light Baby Pink

I kind of had the same consistency issues with Kewpies as I did with Tunic. This was about 4 coats and while you can't really see it in the pictures, this applied pretty uneven and spotty. I used thick coats and let the polish dry for a while before each coat.  I do however just love how soft and delicate this polish is. 

Kewpies are little cupid figurines. They originally appeared as comic characters in Ladies' Home Journal in the December 1909. In 1912 a German toy company J.D. Kestner decided to manufacture them as toys. Myself personally, I find them to just be kind of creepy looking.

War Crinoline - 1915 - Military Green 

This polish is my favorite out of the bunch. I am absolutely obsessed with Military green polishes like this. The consistency of this was NOTHING like the other two polishes. I could have gotten away with 1 coat of this polish BUT the nails I used were quite large, and I used two coats for pictures anyways.

In 1915 ladies drastically changed their outfits. The hem lines became higher, the skirts were narrower, and the collars wider. Some of the dresses looked very manly.

<3

If you notice, I didn't mention anything about dry time because I didn't want to sound like a broken record repeating myself. As with all of the SquareHue polishes I've tried, these dry pretty dang quick. I was extremely impressed with the drying time of these. Kudos to SH for their pretty bad ass dry time. All of these are also high gloss finishes and do not have a top coat. 

I really love the inspiration behind each of these polishes and I think that the colors perfectly represent each year. Even though I did have application issues with Tunic and Kewpies, I would and will definitely use them again because they're definitely worth the extra coats.

The Beauty Buffs : Neutrals

Hello Everyone! I hope you all are doing well! :D

Todays post is all about Neutrals! I'm doing kind of a two-part post with nails and makeup. Now I was going to do a completely new makeup look, but then I decided..I've done plenty on my blog in the past, or I've posted quite a few on Instagram in the recent months...Why not just link back to a few of my favorite neutral makeup looks from the past?!

We will start with the nails first. Now, I was going to actually use my NATURAL nails for this post...and then 2/4 nails broke on the hand I was planning on using and I'm being stubborn and not wanting to cut the other two nails and I knew it would look pretty damn tacky. SO, alas...fake nails it was. I just used some of those old school stickers to stick the nails too my natural nails instead of using glue like normal.

Taking these pictures were kind of very awkward for me to take because I usually use my left hand for nail pictures but for this I opted for my right hand, since I wanted a bit more control with the dots being that I am left handed...I think I'll stick to photographing my left hand! :P

I was trying to be one of those cool people who take nice pictures with their pets fur in the background. Can you tell that with it being blurry..Anya was not amused?! She thought I was taking pictures of her and was so not in the mood and kept moving on me. Booo kitty boo.

For the Makeup, I chose THREE blog posts.

1. Valentines EOTD
2. Neutral Eye Look With Silver Winged Liner
3. Neutral Eye

Can you tell that I am clever with names?! :P Kidding kidding. ANYWAYS. What do you think?! Out of the nails... I have to say that I should have done the dark brown bases and then the greys over top. I think it looks better that way but what's done is done! It's still pretty successful to me!
