Nothing, even remotely, resembles "sun" today...

Fall has officially arrived.

Not the "good" part of fall, either, but the dreary, grey skies accompanied by a fine misting of rain. I have no idea what temperature it is today (having not been outside), but the damp alone is enough to put me off the day.


Yesterday it was absolutely gorgeous out for most of the day. So much so that a surprising, late-in-the-year invasion of ladybugs showed up outside of my office window. One industrious little fellow even made it into my condo. Well, at least he's warm and toasty. There are tons of plants to live on in here.


Today's Konadicure is very, very (very!) simple. I have been dying to wear China Glaze's "Wagon Trail" since it arrived as part of an order in the summer but something about it just says fall to me. The complex shimmer of gold/green/moss hues in this colour is incredible and my pictures (taken indoors with nothing akin to sunlight) cannot do it justice.  Google this one if you don't own it. Even if you aren't a "green" person...Wagon Trail can (and should!) be worn by everyone.


*If anybody has tips on how to improve photos, I'd appreciate it.  I find, even using the macro function on my camera, I often can't pick up the level of detail I want. (I'd like to think I have a decent camera... maybe it's just the shimmer in some of these polishes that makes things so annoying?!)
