I think this just might be my favorite manicure ever. It's my NOTD and I am in freakin LOVE with it.
This took quite a while! WnW black creme dries super fast so I had to apply the rhinestones at the speed of light to get them to stick. This was the whole reason I got rhinestones in the first place, so I could do a rainbow over black. Just as I suspected, it's AWESOME. I think I might set a record with wear time on this mani. I just might rock this out through the weekend!
I know you want to copy me. Go ahead, I give you permission.
These are two more of my favorite Orlys. Goth and Glam. Both seemingly run of the mill shades from a distance, but they are mixed with different sized glitter. Glam actually has different colors of glitter as well.
They are both 2 coaters and apply great, as most Orlys do. These are like ninjas, looking all innocent and normal until you get up close and get round house kicked in the face by the undercover awesome. BAM! GLITTER! Plus these are two of my absolute MOST loved nail polish names.
Don't be fooled my this pitiful swatch! Glam really needs a top coat to show its full glorious, micro glass flecky, redish marooney, glittery, bad ass-ness. I must have either been in "MOAR COFFEE" or "don't care, were is the remote" mode while swatching this because I did not use a top coat.
If you like fast cars or have dated a dude that does, you will understand what I mean when I say this polish is a "sleeper". It just looks like your basic black from about 2 feet away then you pull up right next to it and it blows your mind. Nothin but break lights baby.
I filed my nails down today. Just a little bit, but it was just enough to launch me into a state of deep depression. I am such a complete looser. I should have taken the hint from Crash the Cat who kept batting the file out of my hand and viciously attacking it. Crash the Cat is all business when it comes to killing nail files. At one point during said filing he was sitting next to me ravenously chewing the end of my file with a crazed look in his eye, WHILE I was using it. So his head was being violently JERKED back and forth at lightning speed in rhythm with my file strokes. Can you picture it? It was ridiculous.
Just a quick tidbit about me; I exaggerate. I am not really in a state of deep depression. I'm just a little bit bummed out, but the stuff about Crash is all true, I swear.
This is 2 coats over black. I love these Milanis from the Black Magic Collection. They are all different colored micro-glitters in a black base. This one is purple glitter and it's awesome.
I'm really not sure what the deal is but somehow I am being stalked by feces. Yesterday I had a lovely encounter first thing in the morning but in the afternoon something really special happened. I went fishing with my dear fiance at our local park/boat ramp and I really needed to use the ladies room. So I had him drive me across the park to the porta-potty because there was no way I was walking 500 yards. I entered the porta-potty and instantly RAN back out of it. Why, you ask? Well, some thoughtful and courteous individual laid a big FAT turd in the urinal. I'm assuming you dudes know how some porta-potties have little urinals mounted to the wall. And if you are aware then I'm sure you know how DANGEROUSLY close the urinal is to where your face would be if you were hovering over the toilet seat? YEAH, REALLY CLOSE! The image is burned into my retinas. BURNED.
How did you get in the position to accomplish this feat, urinal pooper? Did you plan it out ahead of time and bring a freakin STEP LADDER? Is there a master plan detailing your nasty deed written down somewhere on actual paper? Or did you use a spreadsheet? Did you have to take your pants completely OFF and lay them on the disgusting floor of the porta-potty in order to pull this off? Like you would care about doing something disgusting anyway, right? I'm sure the last step on your master porta-pooping plan was "buy new pants", because you have all the bases covered, don't you urinal pooper.
What is happening here? Nothing poop related has been placed before me today but I am expecting it at this point. I am ready people.
The name of this polish perfectly sums up my day yesterday. This is 2 coats over black. This is an amazing jelly micro-glitter. I picked this polish up and put it down on three different trips to K-mart before I finally made a special trip back and bought both bottles, Because that's how I roll.
During my haul-tastic weekend we made a trip to the mall. I seriously haven't been inside a mall in years. To put it nicely I just don't care for crowds. But, the lure of fabulous nail polishes and the smiling faces of my dear step daughters was just too great to resist.
One of the stores on my list was Hot Topic. They have polish in the most adorable little punk rock bottles. I have wanted them ever since I saw them on Scrangie's blog. So when I spotted the Hot Topic I was overcome with glorious feelings of excitement and walsed right in as if we belonged there.
Um, we didn't belong there. Let me paint the picture for you. The inside of Hot Topic was a writhing sea of sweaty teen bodies and unfortunate fashion. In the center of this hot pink and black mass of cloth and adolescents stood my family. My fiancé, in his 30s sporting an Izod golfing shirt and a "born to fish" baseball cap. My pre-teen ever so innocent looking step daughters clad in pastels and pony tails with looks of sheer joy plastered on their faces. And me, wearing the MOST hideous pair of Lee old lady leans and a brown button down sweater. LOOK. The jeans were a gift from my mother whom I was visiting so I had to wear them ok. And no she doesn’t live in Hot Topic, she lives in the town the Hot topic is in.
We were basically like Waldo in a Where's Waldo? book only if Waldo were a giant red beacon that took up half the page. Our family probably appeared as though we were lost and needed directions to the nearest golf course STAT! We did have a little bit of help blending in from the taller child though, who was wearing a braided, neon purple, weave-like, clip in hair extension she got at
Claires. It didn't quite cut it.
It wasn't always this way. I used to be cool and dark and edgy and could have totally pulled off a Hot Topic trip. But back then I was way too cool to be seen in a retarded ass Hot Topic so...there ya go.
I did still manage to get a hold of three of these cute little bottles despite my early onset mid-life crisis. Hurray! And now my mission has been cemented. I must have a long row of these bottles lined up before me. MUST.
The hot topic polishes dont have names anywhere that I can see so I can't help you there. This is a purple jelly packed with electric blue and purple glass fleck glitter. It is beautiful! This is 3 coats, indoors. The fluorescents really pulled out the blue shimmer in this pic. You can see more of the purple base in the sun.
Here is the same polish outdoors. So pretty.
Gorgeous! Dark blue shimmer. This 2 coats. Its a little darker than it is showing here.
Oh, lord. Here it is in the sun. What a gorgeous blue.
Black with small silver glitter. Very pretty but this took FIVE coats! Picture is indoors, I didn't bother with a sun picture it looks exactly the same.
These polishes retail for 2.99 and at that price rubbing shoulders with grubby little 14 year old vampires is totally worth it!
PS- Hey Mom I know you're reading this. I was just kidding about the jeans they are totally awesome. Seriously they ROCK!
