A Fall Shade During Summer?

It's Monday once again


The sun is up, weather is nice, calm breeze in other words summer is officially here.
I live in Vancouver and if you guys are not aware it rains 290+ days here out of 365 days. That's crazy isn't it? Well Summer is here and it's time to play outside, have bbq's, and head down to the beach.

What's my purpose?

I wanted to paint my nails earlier and was thinking what shade to wear. Will it be coral? red? yellow? lilac?orange? Nothing satisfied me, so I ended up with a fall shade- OPI You Don't Know Jacques. I know this shade is all around the beauty blogging world, but I absolutely love this shade. Fall is months away, but there's nothing bad applying a fall shade is there?

You Don't Know Jacques is a taupey- brown shade, darker than Sephora Metro Chic, but still stunning. Very easy to apply, 3 coats and it's opaque.

So that's my NOTD=)

I bet everyone owns You Don't Know Jacques and if you don't have this, GRAB IT before fall begins. =)

Do you guys wear fall shades too like me? or do you follow the trend to wear summer shades such as; corals, reds, yellows, oranges during summer?

  4. Fall is my favorite season, so I tend to wear fall colors all year round haha. I find that "fall shades" (greiges, taupes, browns, vampy shades) look the best on me!

  7. Don't own this polish but it looks really nice and seems to be a very sophisticated colour.
    Yeah I wear autumn shades in the summer - they suit pretty much every outfit.

  9. Jacques was my first OPI. Still in love with him. :D

    I get bored with trends quickly, so I wear everything I like. And I can't imagine summer with autumn and winter colors because their color shows up in sun so pretty, especially if there are some sparkles and glitters.
