The Nudest Nude

Revlon Trade Winds is such a perfect match for my skin. It's a nude, and it's a nude without anything to spice it up (there's nothing *unusual* here, aside from how truly nude it is on me)

I'm looking forward to playing with it tonight to make it more my speed!

Revlon Powder Puff (a perfect pink!)

Look at that yummy shimmer!

Get this soon, I think the line's being discontinued. It was $1something at Target a few days ago.

Three coats, and there's a lingering scent of baby powder (this line has fragrance when dry)

Some sparkle

Sephora Galaxy was really, really pretty in the bottle. On the nail, less so. This is the kind of texture that just won't quit, not even after four coats of topcoat! 

So, yeah. Not my cup of tea exactly, but alright for a day.

 Now THIS is what I'm talking about. Lacquistry Amazeballs is a stunner. You can spot a bit of grow-out (eek) because this is day #3 on my nails, but look at how well it's worn!

Post #500!

Wow

I have no posted 500 times on this blog. That's amazing. Holy cow.

A huge thank you to everyone who's stuck with me through hiatuses and messy cuticles, you all are the best.

I feel like I'm too boring today for this milestone, but I didn't want to skip posting this manicure. It's Butter London Pillar Box Red, which is a pretty straight up (though absolutely gorgeous) red creme.

I'm including a whole-hand shot because I really like this red with my ring and bracelet today. The car was parked at the time of the picture, so no worries there ;)

$OPI Trend Tips Ombre

My New Years Resolution: Do my nails more.

These are the old Sephora nail strips. Someone gifted me these randomly, and I actually really, really like them! It's the "Gold/Purple ombre" set, and they're nice and thin and flexible.

Such a good manicure, I'm totally loving these! 

It's witchcraft, I swear

I Love Nail Polish (ILNP) had a sale and I... Well, I did some serious damage. 

I walked away (clicked away?) with Masquerade, Charmingly Purple, Birefringence, and Sirene (H).

Today I'm wearing Masquerade, and I knew from the moment I started applying it that I made the right choice in buying these polishes.

Wow.

Just look.

Lippmann Call me Irresponsible and Do Ya Think I'm Sexy, sandwiched

Oof. I love this combination. 

My roommate called these nails "grown up Lisa Frank nails," because the color pattern looks like Lisa Frank stickers or something. It's the perfect description.
