I was really excited for OPI's Oz (the Great and Powerful) by Disney collection, but after seeing other people swatch them, there wasn't any one color I was gunning for. None of the 'Liquid Sand' polishes have really caught my eye, but I saw Scrangie swatch "What Wizardry is This" and it was stunning. Like I said, I don't really like the textured look, but with a top coat, this becomes a whole different polish that is beautiful. It feels like sand paper, but really smooth sand paper (if that makes sense). It isn't rough by any means, but it is bumpy. It is sort of a thick goopy polish, but I used two coats anyways. This is a dark golden brown shimmery spectacle.
I like is so much better with a topcoat. Where my topcoat got a little thin, you can still see some of the texture coming through. Next time, I'll use two layers of top coat. Also, the texture is hanging off the tips, I'd file those off too. I was a newbie with this liquid sand stuff, so I've learned my lessons.
What do you think about this textured polish trend? Yay or Nay?

Butter London - Shag
This is Butter London's Shag. It is a stunning bronze-y copper-y reddish brown. Crazy discription right!? That's exactly what it is though! The only other thing I can think of that is close is the Crayola 'burt sienna' crayon. It is the perfect color for fall; not quite red, but not quite brown either and a little bit of metallic quality. I was afraid it wouldn't go with a lot of outfits I own, but quite the contrary! I think I will be wearing this often for the next few months. I put on two coats (per usual).
What are your 'go to' Fall polishes?
