Last Saturday, NYC and the tri-state area received a good bit of snow. Usually the first snow of the season is marked by spotting a few lone flakes, so it came as a complete surprise when the temperature plummeted and slush actually stuck to the ground. Who would have thought that shoveling snow and salting the roads would be on the list of things to do Halloween weekend? And if you live around NYC, go ahead and say "that's nothing you should have seen it here" because I've seen pictures of the snow on the news... yikes!
I love the ad on the taxi that says "Grenada"... I want to go to there!
Maybelline "Cool Couture" is a smokey slate shade with a touch of glowing blue shimmer. "Cool Couture" actually reminds me of the blue version of Chanel "Paradoxal", if the reference helps :) My experiences with the Maybelline brush haven't been exceptional - I found the brush stiff and thin, and that it spreads out only once you're about done painting your nails (see some "vintage" - joking - swatches here). But after seeing an amazing swatch of this shade on The PolishAholic, I decided that this color is worth it.
"Cool Couture" was part of the Fall 2011 collection called "Scene on the Runway" and I found it at Rite Aide.
I have the same problem with maybelline brushes!
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite Maybelline's.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty color. I don't actually own any Maybellines but I want to go out and get this one now!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I have any Maybellines in my stash... Louisiana weather is still in the 80s! I wish it were cooler so I could at least break out some fall clothes! We're still wearing shorts and tank tops!
ReplyDeleteMy sister has been looking for this polish for me in Brooklyn for months now. Where did you find it??? Did they have Purple Trend? I just love the look of it so much! :)
ReplyDeleteOoooh cute color! And the snow in NY was so crazy for OCTOBER!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty color! And perfect for the gray streets of NY. We didn't get any snow, but it did get quite a bit cooler here last weekend. Welcome, Fall!!!
ReplyDeletenicnacksnails, Maybelline is really are creating beautiful colors... wish they would fix the brush!
ReplyDeleteAllThingsNails!, good choice :)
Sarah, it's pretty unique! I haven't really seen anything quite like it!
Leslie, oh wow... not fall weather at all! But it only takes one snow fall to miss those warm days :)
Kim, I found it at Rite Aide and yes I remember seeing Purple Trend. I did pick it up several weeks ago and haven't see it since :(
Carly, SOOOOO CRAZY!!!
Megan, oh you're totally right! It is a "street" color lol. Yes welcome fall - and stay away, winter lol
I left NYC for Chicago on that particular Saturday you're refering to. They had to de-ice the plane ! Btw, I went to the Cosmetic Market, but there weren't any polishes...but it still managed to buy a few things ;)
ReplyDeleteHi Honey_lili, oh wow what a day to travel! So sad Cosmetic Market was "dry", but glad to hear you found some things still!
