Since I've reentered the land of full time employment, it's been a bit hard to snap a pic of my mani before it gets mangled in a zipper or the tips wear away as I furiously outline a plan for world domination (or Q4 of 2011, whichever comes first). After a quick trip through Duane Reade this weekend, I spotted L'Oreal's Project Runway Collection and was inspired by a gorgeous grey nail lacquer. Never being able to leave well enough alone, I applied a teal flakey glitter (inspired by my latest handbag, of course) to just add a little insanity to a classic early fall nail.

Gray coat #1: L'Oreal's Project Runway Collection Charming Cockatoo's Wisdom

Gray coat #2: Orly's Pixie Dust

Teal glitter: Forever 21's Love & Beauty Turquoise

It's refreshing that we've moved away from greige tones and brought back the classic gray. Have you given gray another chance this season?

The photo at left was the greatest eye liner moment of my life.  I have since attempted to recreate it unsuccessfully, and I'm nots sure it will ever occur again.  I'm glad I had the ability to capture it.  Products used:

L'Oreal's Lineur Intense Special Edition in Defined By Plum (no longer available)

Josie Maran Tinted Moisturizer in Butter

Smashbox Soft Lights in Tint

MAC X Hello Kitty lipstick in Fashion Mews

If I ever perfect this look, I'll do a video tutorial on it.  Deal?

The good news is my cable internet has been restored and StyleITOnline.com can return to it's regularly scheduled randomness.
