Essie - Stylenomics

Today's blogpost is a review of essie's Stylenomics. This polish is part of essie's fall collection 2012.

This is a very dark green color. It gives me a foresty feel, perfect for fall. Even though fall 2012 has passed this color is an easy transition into winter. 

The color looks absolutely stunning in the bottle but alas the color doesn't transfer to the nails. On the picture below the color looks pretty accurate to the bottle but in most light it looks black. If you don't mind having the look of black nails then you probably won't mind this color and in some forms of light it does look dark green but if you want a true dark green color then I wouldn't recommend this color.


The color pay off is excellent! It is fully opaque in one coat but a second coat does put the cherry on the icing. I used INM Out the door topcoat and the color lasted for about one week. The ends did chip a little bit but it did not bother me.

I give essie's Stylenomics a 2 out of 5. I was very disappointed that the color isn't true to the color in the bottle. The quality is excellent though, as most essie polishes are.

Walk in the woods

A while ago I took a walk in a nearby forest and took some pictures. The leaves were in the middle of changing colors and falling. I just love this time of Fall when I get to bicycle to school through these woods and I have the most wonderful view. 

 I find this picture just stunning. I was sitting on the forest floor and as I looked up I saw this. Isn't it beautiful? The way the light shines through the leaves is amazing. This picture also illustrates the image of Fall very well, I find. On this one tree there are so many different colored leaves. Some are still bright and green, while others are beginning to lose their color. 

 My Dubarry boots fit in perfectly with the forest ground :) 

 I walked from within the woods into a clearing in the centre of the woods. Cows and horses roaming around this forest but I think they were hiding today as I didn't see any. 

This last picture is my favorite. The way the tree leaves turn from a red/brown color to dark green is just amazing. I used this picture as the background of my laptop screen last month and I loved it!
