Hello there and welcome back! So today I have something a lil fun for you! This Saturday is National Coffee Day for those of you who may not know, but I'm sure most all coffee lovers know this! Or maybe I just know too many random things ha! That all being said, I have art for the occasion as well as coffee themed polish swatches!
Nails Inc has a Caffeine Hit Collection that came out a while back and I have had a few I have been saving to share closer to this important Holiday! LOL!!! Sadly I haven't seen them available all year on the Nails Inc or Sephora site. I was hoping they would pop up for this month but they don't appear to have. From the research I did do I did find that there were originally 4 polish released with Caffeine in them, and they also released a Caffeine Hit Coffee Scrub at the same time but its still available here. I really like it, it smells like a mix of coffee with a hint of a minty-ness. Its not as exfoliating as you would expect, but it still feels really nice. Plus I mean the coffee scent has me! I actually think to coffees have a hint of a coffee scent as well once they dry, but maybe I am imagining it.
Chai Kiss
2 coats
A tan creme polish.
This polish has a really nice creme formula and applies superbly. I just love Nails Inc brushes! I know this one is called Chia Kiss but to me I think off coffee with a splash of creamer, or Half and Half which is my preferred way!
So for this one I decided to do a fun lil quote because I kinda did something... A little test run at something I am working on and this matches. I decided a to design a mug with a coffee cup drawing I did a few weeks ago with this quote! Here is a look at it, its on Zazzle now! I'm kinda excited about it but also not sure, ha! Its a test trial run for sure, there are some other items up too that match though. :)
Here is the mug with the deigns I created a while back and then decided to create with mani for! :)
Because I mean lets be honest, coffee is the best start to a day right? I start everyday with it after taking care of Miss Dixie, then have a cup catch up on emails and then the day begins!
Afternoon Mocha
1-2 coats
A brown creme polish.
Afternoon Mocha is a super rich brown and lovely. I had full coverage in one coat honestly but I did two to just have a full complete feel. The formula was/is amazing and its just a lovely shade!
On this one I decided to just go for a frappe because thats always a nice splurge treat. Although I like to make them at home on the norm! Hehe!
Also I love how this brown looks matte? How about you?
Well guys, that is it! I hope you have enjoyed this as much as I have. What brown was your fave? Will you be sporting a Coffee Mani for Saturday? Or just have a cup of coffee! I think I will celebrate a day early on Friday with Starbucks BOGO happy hour!
Happy Painting!

I love coffee inspired colors. Yes please to these colors and the art!
ReplyDeleteAfternoon Mocha is such a great rich shade of brown. <3
ReplyDeleteBoth of those colors area amazing! And your art is adorable.
ReplyDeleteAfternoon Mocha with matte is so gorgeous! Love your nail art too.
ReplyDeleteI don't own many Brown shades and these are both equally beautiful. Nothing better than a hot milky coffee on a cold winter's day x
ReplyDeleteGah, I love this post so much!! Not only are the polishes lovely, but your nail art is so cute!!
ReplyDeleteThese are nice shades, but I feel like I’ve seen similar with Zoya.
