sidda wears polish: "Cocktail Dress," by Ciate Paint Pots.

I wore this very polish on the day that Justin & I got engaged. For that reason, I felt it was fitting to pull it back out & paint it on for our one-year anniversary trip to Charleston. 

What I learned this time around: I'm painting my coats way too gloppy & thick, which makes them bubble up & look horrible. Will be working on thinner, cleaner coats next time around. I also need to invest in a topcoat. I do love this color though, especially for Fall.

sidda wears polish: Fall 2013 Nail Polish Picks.

Fall is one of my favorite seasons. The chill in the air, the pumpkins popping up on doorsteps, the creepiness of Halloween... I could go on & on about why I love this season. But, shifting into beauty gear, one of the top reasons I love Fall is the influx of what I consider some of the prettiest nail polishes. I love deep nail colors, & all Spring & Summer I find myself holding back from wearing dark, sparkly hues. When the Fall Equinox finally rolls around, I always comb through my nail polish collection & pull out the polishes I've been pining for. I've listed out my Fall selections for you today, as well as including the video I recently uploaded to YouTube, which explains them in a bit more detail.

When I was choosing my polish for this week,
I thought, "why not classic red?"
Sometimes simplicity is everything.

Recently I pulled out my dark nail polish collection, as a nod to the finally-arrived Fall season.
As I painted each finger a different color to test them out, my heart became set on one particular hue.
You guessed it: "I Don't Drink Cheap Wine," by Wet 'n Wild's Spoiled line.
This rich, shimmery cranberry color has me feeling chic & ready to pull those cozy sweaters over my head.

Editor's Note: Hopefully doing these posts weekly will spiff up my nail-painting [as well as nail-photographing] abilities.

hi, i'm lauren. 100% dorky.

In the spirit of transparency, you should know: I am not a fashion blogger. However, since I am in the process of reconstructing my wardrobe this year, I started craving a space to share with you any outfits that do feel boast-worthy. Similarly, I look forward to sharing any makeup combos that strike me as blog material, as well as a photo & descriptive blurb centering around my weekly nail polish change.

With the rebirth of my YouTube channel, I thought it'd be neat to have a blog that can correspond to the content I post in my videos. That's what you can expect here on Sidda Wears, plus a little more.
