NARS Nail Varnish in Mash


NARS Nail Varnish in Mash came out in Fall 2010 as part of their Vintage Nail Polish collection along with 4 other colors.

The color is an army green. Green with a gold undertone to it.

The application is light after one coat. I found that three coats gave the best coverage with the least amount of brush strokes showing through.

The application wasn't the best in terms of mid-range nail varnishes but the color is something that I haven't seen before, which makes me think you should snatch this up before it is gone for good!

This is still available at Sephora and NARS as of 11/19/2010.

Blushes I own to date


Don't mind the mess in the back =X I took this spontaneously (while I was studying heh)

From left to right:
MAC Get Away Bronze - I love this color. I tend to use it for a natural slight flush or in the winter I can use this as a slight contour color.
MAC Springsheen - Great every day color. It is infused with slight golden flecks. It is a sheertone so when applied there is a light sheen to it. Makes me look sunkissed
E.L.F. Candid Coral - Perfect shade for me for the winter. Subtle flush. The texture is actually quite nice and it blends onto the cheeks very well with little on the brush. A great bargain!
NYX Singe Eyeshadow in Tropical - I honestly don't use this one much since it really is an eyeshadow and the pan is small. It leans more toward orange.
MAC Bite of an Apple - Matte blush that gives a wintery feel. The color makes my cheeks look like I was standing out in the snow!
MAC Dame - Great for a subtle pink cheek. However, I tend to use Pinch O' Peach more since it is more pigmented. I find that with Dame I need to use more product to produce an effect. There are blue flecks in this.
MAC Pinch O' Peach - Gorgeous pink that is great for every day color
MAC Beauty Powder in Briar Rose - This is quite pigmented and I find that I do not need to use much of this to produce an effect. On the cheeks, the color actually is more pronounced than either Dame or Pinch O' Peach, even though it does not seem so swatched.
(not shown in first picture) Rock and Republic Kinky - Finally, this blush is VERY pigmented. A little really does go a long way with this blush. It is a vibrant, matte hot pink and great for a strong cheek. It is easy to overdo it, though, and look clownish, if you aren't careful.

I hope that helps!


Outfit of the Day

I am in love with fashion and an addict for makeup. It is true. Even though I am a full time student in the medical profession, I still make the effort to try and look pulled together no matter how little sleep I have gotten.

I wore this outfit and it really didn't cost much either!
