Manicure Monday! Featuring Revlon's "Foxy"

I'm not happy about it, but it is time to accept the fact that fall is here to stay. I will certainly miss sunbathing, swimming, and tank tops, but now it is time for chunky sweaters, boots, and hot drinks from the coffee shop. Truthfully, I do look forward to fall styles, trends, and colors, I just don't like being cold as much as I adore being warm. But those chunky sweaters do help soften the blow ;).

I've got something of a fall nail polish lookbook coming your way later this week, but I want to share my first manicure of the season with you now. You'll see me go on and on about why I don't generally ascribe to the rules of "seasonal colors" later, so suffice it to say that while I will wear any color I want on my nails regardless of the season, I do like to be inspired by the changes of climate and nature as I dress myself, do my makeup, and paint my nails.

Let's just get to the polish.

Please excuse the minor rubbings at the tips of some of my nails. I had just spent the afternoon at the barn moving fences.

Meet "Foxy" by Revlon. I picked up this shade at a Meijer grocery store. I wish they existed around me because it was basically a store with the relative fanciness of Target and the prices of Wal-Mart. (At least the one I visited.) That's a lot of winning. I grabbed a Revlon polish because I was curious about the inventory and the price of makeup items, and I have to say I was very pleased with both. You are blessed if you live near a Meijer.

I used the usual Orly Bonder Basecoat and Polisheild Top Coat with this manicure. 

"Foxy" is a lovely, deep, purply, brownish sea of rich chocolately goodness in nail polish form...I think.
It makes me think of those barrel-shaped rootbeer flavored candies but with a bit of purple thrown in there. The normal two coats gives a basically flawless finish with completely opaque color, and the polish applies very easily, as most of Revlon's do. In the bottle you can see silver bits of shimmer worked through the color, and that's what helps it give such a high shine. I'm hoping the above picture helps you see how it is very brown and also very purple at the same time.

I highly recommend this polish for all skin tones, no matter the season, but especially in the fall. Thanks for viewing another Manicure Monday! I've got a lot planned for this week, so don't go too far.
