    I have a periwinkle color, and i like to put glitter over top! I found some purple glitter at Sally's that is to die for!

    Beautiful color! I pray you're wearing that Fall color brings on Fall too! I'm SO ready :-)

    Good luck with your little girl starting kindergarten! My little boy started last Tuesday. It was bittersweet. I managed not to cling to his leg and cry (too much...)

    I really like the purple color in the middle of the 5! And the one on the far right as well. Both look lovely and good for the fall!

    My favorite fall nail polish shade would have to be crimson since fall really means football season to me.

    Oh wow, how have I not really discovered this before?! Love those new colors ... ::crossing fingers::

    For this early fall, I'm loving rich purples -- that's what I've got on my fingers & toes now, actually! And I am drooling over the metallic purple & blue in this post...

    Thanks for the giveaway!

    I love taking any solid color polish (and even some metallics too) to the next level with a couple of layers of glitter polish. It's kind of like reliving my childhood while almost 30. Love it!

  22. LoLo SmithAugust 20, 2012 at 10:18 AM

    I love a deep/bright purple. I think it works really well with a lot of glitter polishes, but definitely purple.
