NOTD: I'm With Brad by Sephora by OPI and Adele by Julep

Disclaimer:  I purchased these.

I'm With Brad.  I've got to admit that the name of this polish cracks me up.  Which Brad is this referring to - Brad Pitt?  Does that mean this blackened crimson is a nod to Angelina Jolie?  Possibly, as this vampy beauty is both classic and slightly edgy.  It is also perfect for the approaching fall weather and, dare I say it, Alabama football :-)  They call Alabama the Crimson Tide....

I wore I'm With Brad for 3 days and then topped with the gold reflective top coat Adele by Julep.  In the sun you can still see some of the crimson peeking through, but in less direct light I'm reminded of a black beetles shell.  Halloween, anyone?

Speaking of creepy crawlers, here is how I know it's approaching fall in Mobile, despite the 90 degree weather.  The banana spiders (technically, these are orb weavers) have arrived.  Now, when I'm out in the yard taking pictures or doing yard work, I'm extra careful to make sure I don't blunder into one of their spectacular webs.  I'm pretty sure I'd die of a heart attack if one got on me :-)  They are relatively harmless but I've got arachnophobia.
