Review: Flower Nail'd It Nail Polish

I was super excited to try these polishes! I love Drew Barrymore, so of course I wanted to try these polishes! I have Gorgeous Gerbera and Thistle or That? and I love them both. They dry pretty quick and only really need one coat. I like to put two coats on, but like I said, you could get away with just one coat. The colors are very vibrant and pigmented. I definitely plan to get this entire collection at some point! You can pick these guys up at Walmart for $5!

My Nail Polish Collection

If I were to be asked what my biggest beauty obsession is, the answer would be nail polish! I have 67 different polishes, varying in color and brand. This collection is only about 1 year old. The brand that I have the most polish in is Sinful Colors. I bought all mine from Walgreens when they were on sale and I had a 20% off coupon. So I ended up getting around 46 polishes for less than $75. Not bad, not bad at all. But let's start with my smaller collections first!

Top Row: Opening Night, Teal We Meet Again, Read My Palm, Havana Dreams, Shiny Dancer

Bottom Row: Already Famous, Handpicked For Me, It's All About Me, Wild About Shimmer

How To Wear: Riding Boots

Two of my most beloved items in my closet are my riding boots. I have a brown and a black pair, both from Target. They are so versatile and beyond comfortable. (And you get an excuse to buy super cute boot socks!!) Riding boots are one of the easiest ways to be fashionable without sacrificing comfort! I have a serious relationship with boots. And as much as I love my heeled boots, I would choose my riding boots any day of the week. Sometime styling riding boots can be a bit difficult though. Because of that, I've put together three different looks, all with riding boots, that are perfect for a variety of occasions.
