Okay well, I feel like a preschooler trying to paint my nails- I am actually quite bad at it! hahahaha
My brother said "You can tell people I did it...........well actually, I'd probably do a better job!" hahaha
Sooooooo- yeah.
BUT Here is the Red I got the other day:

I tried it out and 3 coats gives this dark dark red.

How does the Chanel polish go hun?

It's amazing! Very pigmented - beautiful colour with one coat (8o). It goes on so smoothly, it feels like silk. SO much nicer than any of my OPI, ORLY, and other branded polishes. The brush is full and thick and gorgeous, and makes applying it a breeze.

I have however, been told that the formulas for the Chanel polishes are a bit all over the shop.. the permanent collection (that's where Fire fits) are all generally pretty good, so I've heard - it's the limited edition ones that can be a bit icky to use.

As far as the wear-test goes, unfortunately it doesn't last any longer than my other colours.. but I am still finding myself reaching for it over and over again as it applies like a silken dream. :)

Why in the world is it nearly twice the US price?
I guess I thought the AU $ was weaker, but I did the conversion and it's still 41 USD.

The US has a farrr larger market and due to our strong currency, it's expensive to import things. It's the same with everything; clothes, cds, books, drives me mad. Stupid expensive Australia.
 
^I am getting more and more comfortable styling it- I do plan to keep up with the trims and try to keep it healthy, but grow it back out a bit.............I think it'll take time and I will enjoy the short hair while I have it.......but I plan to let it grow rather than keep up with the short.
While I love the short hair, I figure, I can always go back :)
But who knows- Next week I might say the opposite ;)


Um, Why did noone tell me how hard it is to remove red nail polish?!?!

oooh, cute idea!

ocean... it's funny that red polish and lipstick will stain, but hair dye won't stick. i think a good base coat helps with the staining.
 
Thanks :)

Ocean! You should not hesitate to try red lipstick!! Red lips can be so much fun. The thing to do is just to try it out first sometime when you dont have to leave the house for a while. It'll give you plenty of time to play with different shades, but if you end up hating it just wipe it off. Yes, your lips will be stained for a little while, but it shouldnt last more then a couple of hours, especially if you keep them well moisturized. I think you'd look amazing in the right shade of red and really think you'd be missing out if you didnt try it! :D
 
Fizzle, did you use the Sally Hansen french manicure stickers to help you do that look? I have been searching for them and I can't find them anywhere!!
 
Thanks fizzle! I might have to try..............
and yes, share your secrets on how you did your nails like that-
Have you guys seen the new SH french manicure polish- 2 in 1??
They come in different colors.
I want the black/Grey but since I just started painting my nails and still struggliing with just that- I figured the fancy stuff would come later :)
 
lol actually I just use scotch tape, just make sure the base layer is really dry first, otherwise it can lift off, and remove the tape as soon as you are done painting the tip, dont let that dry or that will lift off too haha. Super cheapy way.

The base coat is OPI, the white is some really crappy stuff, it was all goopy and took me forever to get right. Its already rubbed off the tips :(
 
Any nice girly christmas gifts? I got a lot but so far my favorite is the twighlight woods body wash from bath and body works.
 
I didn't receive this, but I got my sister the Sex and the City "Lust" perfume set. She had originally asked my mom but I found it for about $12 on Amazon so I bought it for her and she loves it. Has no idea how cheap it was either!

I got a little bit of money- So I BOUGHT 4 nail polishes, a nail file, cuticle thing-
The lotion, spray and body wash of Bath and Body Works Black Raspberry Vanilla (smells good!)- I just bought Exotic Coconut lotion, Eucalyptus Body wash and Lotion, The Winter Apple Body Lotion (I already have the spray)- and some hand sanitizers.........
My mother gave me a TON of makeup she bought but didn't use- and a couple lipsticks she has used but didn't like.............I tried a Red and I looked terrible. I don't think lipstick looks right on me but I did take 2 or 3 lipsticks...........a dark reddish (I think called Fig) and a dark pinkish..........

So, lots of girly stuff for me:) But the smellly stuff was treating myself:)
The money was a nice surprise!!
 
Yeah I know I made out with $210 in cash and gift certificates!
I would much rather that than something that will live in my closet and not be seen until NEXT Christmas!
