GOSH Nail Lacquers for Fall 2013 - with swatches!

GOSH Nail Lacquers - $7 - in 3 frosted sand look shades: Liquid Sand Frosted Silver, Liquid Sand Frosted Gold and Liquid Sand Frosted Purple and three new shades: Mysterious Mauve, Denim Delight and Kind Of Pink.

Available exclusively at Shoppers Drug Mart.

Liquid Sand Frosted Silver

Liquid Sand Frosted Gold

Liquid Sand Frosted Purple

I'm not usually a big fan of textured polishes as they are generally hard to apply smoothly and just end up looking kind of crappy and I have to say these GOSH ones are the best I've ever tried. The application is so smooth and easy and they look great! This is without a top coat - apply one if you want more shine (and longer wear)!

Mysterious Mauve

Denim Delight

Kind Of Pink

You're gonna want to check out the Sears Fall 2013 Look! report with Nevada featuring Bar Refaeli...

If you've picked up the Sears Fall 2013 Look! report you'll already have seen the lovely Bar Refaeli gracing the cover - who was also in town lately to launch the Nevada line that she is the face of! Sadly, I wasn't able to attend the event - although tall, glamourous supermodels do prefer that us short little things stay away from them as we make them feel all big and gawky so it's probably just as well that I wasn't there - nothing worse then a jealous supermodel!

Sears was kind enough to invite me to the store and check out the new offerings from the Look! report in person and see what I would choose for myself if I had $100 to spend. To be honest when they offered I thought it would be hard, Sears is not where I think of when I'm looking for trendy and fashionable clothes. If you have similar feelings then you will probably be as surprised as I was to see the new collection - was I able to spend a hundred bucks? Easily!

The first thing I was drawn to was this Pencil Skirt - $49.99 - it comes in 4 patterns and I couldn't decide between the check and the animal print but finally decided I couldn't go wrong with animal print!

The other peice I fell in love with is this Jacquard Wrap Sweater - $69.99 which is so cozy that it will even keep me warm in the meat locker temperatures that they insist on keeping my office at -while still looking cute!

You'll probably also notice a change in the footwear thanks to their collaboration with the Aldo Group's team of designers - so many boots to choose from!

You can check out the Look! report for yourself at:  http://bit.ly/16bGoiN and admire the Pinterest page at: http://bit.ly/1acKDIV and if you prefer to shop at home, everything is available on the website at www.sears.ca.

What do you think, is this the start of a new and more stylish Sears?
