Girly Thread v. Nail Porn, Makeup Lust and everything else girlie girl

I have been buying more expensive bras for a few years now - more out of necessity than anything else. Being a 10DD (small around the body but reasonably big in the cup) means I have to really shop around. There just seems to be nothing in my size at cheaper department stores, so I'm forced to go to high-end boutiques. Oh well, I'm not complaining as they certainly last longer for the price. :)

Also, the new Sigma 'Cities' collection has just launched! I'm loving the New York range, but the Tokyo range is super duper cute for pink lovers too. :D
I adore the way the travel case doubles as a brush holder - I split mine into face brushes and eye brushes, and I know some girls put dirty brushes into one half and clean into the other. Cute and functional, love it.

Here's a video about the collection.

They're available for a limited time, so I recommend making your purchases sooner rather than later. They do not shed nearly as much as my MAC brushes, and they last absolutely forever if you take good care of them.
 
Where do you get your swimsuits c0tb?

I've been wearing the same triangle roxy bikini for the past three years and now a 10E (wtf) it's really time for me to get a new one.
 
Jo, i bought my latest bikini top at Sunburn (specialty swimsuit store) i'm currently a DD and this one fits like a dream - no halter neck bikinis for me anymore, my neck just can't take it - this is an over the shoulder style; it's really cute.

I haven't been bra shopping for a little while, but it's possible I'm encroaching on E territory as well, Jo.. isn't it weird?!!

I have had the same white bikini for a while now, I bought it from a random surf store. It's so hard to get nice ones that make the bust look nice, and not like you're going to slap yourself in the face any minute. :|
My pin-up style blue bathing suit was a gift purchased from Tiger Rag. The Sailor swim-suit hugs in all the right places, and I feel like a million bucks in it. I get so many compliments when I'm wearing it. :)

That might be where I'm going wrong, Samadhi - I have been wearing the same halter neck style bikini for ages, and I wonder why my neck hurts?!

Looks can be deceiving! It's actually hard for me to believe I'm a DD. 8o
 
One more thing - I ordered some new glasses from this site about a month ago, and have filmed a video on my experience here.
This video wasn't sponsored at all, the company have no idea I'm even reviewing them. It's all my own honest opinions and I paid for the glasses myself.

Suffice to say I was very very VERY impressed with both the speed of service and delivery, the price (so many savings, ohmygosh!), the ease of use of the site (can even try on glasses!) and the quality of my glasses.

Here's a pic of me in my new sexy frames:

About glasses, I'm really not sure about how reliable this site is but a friend of a friend was wearing a pair she picked out the other day and said they were perfect (though not designer-named like many on c0tb's site). But jesus, those prices?! For frames AND lenses? My friend has since ordered hers and I'm waiting to hear if they're actually good quality. Obviously you have to know all the things you would need from an eye exam that you'd give to any 'regular' glasses store to use the site. I thought the 'try on your face' feature was pretty nifty too. I'll report back if I hear a review from my friend.

we used to suggest this site to our patients until multiple defects were found in the lens quality and power and they were not using polycarbonate lenses for children
 
fizzle that is awesome.

there is a new process i just learned about, marble swirling with water...anyone hear about this? looks a little time consuming but pretty neat. little ghetto...not sure how much i like it. with the right colors, could be good.

Fizzle - I've seen magnetic polish on several blogs before, but I haven't used it myself. The polishes I know of are pretty expensive (i.e. ~$15). so I haven't bitten that bullet yet.

Darthmom - I've done water marbling before, and posted several photos but they might be in the old thread. The last time I did it, this is what I got. It's not a difficult technique but definitely very time and polish consuming.

Currently, I'm wearing OPI Done Out In Deco with two coats of China Glaze CG In The City. I like this look, but I don't think I could wear DOID alone, it's all wrong for my skin tone.

Oh, that sucks. I'll still probably order them because I don't need glasses except for reading the board and I'm really poor. :o

Onto more fun stuff -- my friend just came across the country and brought gifts!

Finger Paints - Finger Paints

and

Rimmel - Steel Grey

She also brought me sweet base and top coats.

I needed more muted colors so I'm loving these! I'm wearing Purple Pinstripe right now and I LOVE it. I had never used Finger Paints brand before and I was impressed with the ease of application and coloring.

Oh, and for fun she wore OPI's 'A-taupe the Space Needle' while here because I live in Seattle. Haha. =D

It is indeed expensive, my cousin said she spent something like $17 on her bottle, but sephora is bundling them right now, you can get 3 for $30, which, considering its usual price, really isnt bad, $10 a bottle. :)

Just double checked this and you're totally right!!! My birthday is tomorrow and Sephora owes me a birthday gift bag anyways, so this might be the perfect excuse to make a stop over there!

Amor - I definitely agree with Ocean, I'm digging those purple shades. Purple is by far my favorite shade to wear.

I haven't seen anyone mention this in the thread so far, but has anyone heard of Cult Nails? (www.cultnails.com). The line makes some pretty sweet colors, but lots of blogs are buzzing about their new color, Clairvoyant. It went on sale as a limited edition under the moniker Unicorn Puke, but they have made it a part of their permanent line under this new name.

If you're a fan of Nubar or Nfu-Oh style flakie polishes, this one is AMAZING! I haven't gotten my hands on it yet, it only went on sale yesterday and has already sold out.
