Every time BaubleBar introduces a new Guest Bartender, I anticipate shopping an amazing jewelry selection curated by a big blogger or celebrity. But until now, I haven't actually bought anything from these selections. Usually, my anticipation goes to waste. So when BaubleBar kept their newest Guest Bartender a surprise until the collection's reveal, I didn't expect to fall in love with so many of its pieces. But when I saw As Told By Emma, I knew immediately that it was time to break out the vault points I was saving and shop!

Emma Robert's BaubleBar collection mixes trendy statement pieces with more classic jewels, so there's something for everyone. As Told By Emma is broken up into different chapters inspired by Emma's childhood to modern muses. She selected some typical pieces such as statement bibs and drop earrings. But she also went for the unexpected with two finger rings, ear jackets, and tassel earrings.

I already added the Third Eye Ear Jackets to my earring collection and am waiting for my Coffee First bracelet to ship. My bracelet is going to turn into a "wear with everything piece" while my earrings will edge up any outfit. Shop the rest of my picks above and let me know which pieces you're loving!

Speckled Mani + Tops Coats That Look Like Major Nail Art

 

Looking for a quick, but fun manicure this past week, I painted my nails mint with black and white polka dots on top. Mint is such a summery color that I wanted to cover it up a bit for more of an end-of-summer vibe. As for how to get polka dots like mine, it's actually way easier than it looks--that's not nail art, it's a topcoat! I used Maybelline Color Show Polka Dots Collection in Clearly Spotted.

When I first finished this design, I wasn't expecting much of a reaction to it. The green was bright, perhaps too bright, for this time of the year when the weather is getting colder not warmer. But all week, I've been getting compliments at work. A makeup artist at a fashion photo shoot I worked on even asked me for tips on recreating the design!

To get this look, paint your nails your favorite color. Then, grab a final effects topcoat and you'll have notable looking nail art in seconds. Make sure your polish and top coat are different enough that there's some major contrast for a bolder design. The only downside is that the polka dots are hard to get off your nail, like glitter polish.
