Girly thread vs. r*N*r's nang nails!!!

Remember this polish?

'Demure Vixen'

6 days later, and still going strong;

Such minimal wear at the tips! I'm seriously impressed. I should mention that I used ORLY Bonder as a base, and Poshe Super Fast Drying Top Coat.

 

[Perpetual Indulgence]

I need to clean my make up case just I do my brushes.

 

[queenbee1127]

Got my Crown Brush set today and the lip brush was broken so now I have send it back and wait probably another 3+ weeks for a replacement

In the mean time, I need to get some color going on for spring and summer. Any suggestions for self tanners? I usually use Jergen's Natural Glow, and it gives me a little color but not really what I'm looking for...

 

[poopie]

Queen Bee- I love St. Moriz self-tanner. It's a blatent rip-off of St. Tropez, but way cheaper. It's available on Amazon, and it's cheap. Unfortunately it's only in the UK, so the shipping is like $12. Works SO well and has a soapy-clean smell, rather than the weird self-tanner smell. The first time I used it, my girl friends had coincidentally gotten spray-tanned. They both complimented mine and were jealous! Heh heh.

Fawks- *love* the lavender!

CoTB- Nice collection! What's the light green/peach compact thingie? Color corrector?

Xsie- My nails never have enough time to chip. Usually the nail polish gets "eaten" by the alcohol/hand sanitizer at work.
But, yes 9 coats is quite a bit. I don't usually do the 2 coats of gold. so, yeah, I usually do 7 coats. Kinda crazy when you count them. The treatments and base coat dry so quickly though and barely count! :D

Just ordered these sandals online:

And picked up some other stuff recently:

Essie Geranium

Essie Vermillionaire (heh, same collection as CoTB's Demure Vixen)

OPI Guy Meets Gal-veston (I didn't think I would like these "sorbets", but they're juicy, jelly, and gorgeous!)

New Urban Decay Afterglow blush in bang (nice sheer color)

I also picked up a crystal Essie nail file for $2.99, and some cheapie hair oil from Rusk. I hate all this "false advertising" when products claim their contents are "all natural oils", but the first ingredient ends with "-cone". This stuff had mostly natural oils in it, which my hair loves (as opposed to protein treatments, which don't work so hot with my hair).

And, I have fallen in love with this duvet cover from West Elm...

Okay, enough blathering. I am spent. And broke.

:D

 

[purplefirefly]

Poopie: I love those sandals!! How much were they and where did you order them from?

That bedding is also extremely fantastic. I would have new bedding every single week if I could. I just love good quality sheets and blankets.

 

[poopie]

They're from Unlisted, the style is "Big Event".

And if I could sleep on freshly laundered 400 thread count sheets every night, I would!

 

[fizzle]

I love that pink OPI!! Thats such a gorgeous color... and those types of sandals arent usually in my taste but I really like those ones! Good choices, I approve all around. :D

So I love both of those colors, especially the orange one. I've been searching for a lavender nail color but most seem too demure like the one COTB recently posted.

Even since moving I've been trying to find a stylist that I like in town, attempt number two was overall pretty positive but my bangs were cut too short. This is partly my own fault but thankfully hair grows. I'm going to need to style it myself before I make a decision.

I posted this in the bargain thread but I got a notice of another ZOYA deal. It's not completely free but it's BOGO. I thought I'd let you guys know.

 

[CHiLD-0F-THE-BEAT]

CoTB- Nice collection! What's the light green/peach compact thingie? Color corrector?

Yep, you guessed it.
I have quite a few reddish spots on my face, and the green neutralises it nicely. I picked up that compact for only $12 when Physicians Formula cosmetics were all marked down.

Those polishes are GORGEOUS! I'm seriously excited about the new OPI Pirates of the Carribean collection. I'm sure it will take ages to reach Australian shores, but I might just make an advanced order from over in the states.

I'm especially liking the shade Mermaid's Tears (pictured on the right);

And if I could sleep on freshly laundered 400 thread count sheets every night, I would!

That is my minimum for sheets.. if only we didn't stain them with body paint.

^ Glad to hear it.

 

[queenbee1127]

I did the Zoya BOGO too! My mom and I went in on it together and got all of the new summer colors except for Mitzi (the matte yellow in Spork's post). Total was $58 for 14 colors with express shipping, pretty fucking sweet if you ask me. Plus, all of the glass fleck colors look sublime.

This is a shitty webcam picture, but my current manicure: One coat of Zoya's Dita and the darker color is Ulta's Material Girl

In non-nail related news, I got this purse in the mail yesterday. I can't find any pictures that will allow me to copy the image address to paste a photo here. I didn't buy it on Amazon though, I got it barely even used off eBay for $30.

This is the next one I have my eye on:

[Perpetual Indulgence]

oooh I like there greens

 

[Perpetual Indulgence]

I switched into ballet flats at noon

 

[drugfukkdrockstar]

^Hot!! :D

But yeah they look painful. Ive decided i wanna start wearing more heels etc. Feel more like a lady

 

[Perpetual Indulgence]

there was a bit of rubbing on my right big toe...no blister but I did not want to push it

 

[Mariposa]

I found nang nails for $3.99 at Sally Beauty! See here.

I bought the last they had (Metallic Nails by "Nail Bliss") along with these China Glaze polishes (work safe):

NSFW:

None of these are my nails, but GORGEOUS spring colors! I have a hangnail from typing too much

My roommate thinks it's all ridiculously tacky. :D

 

[CHiLD-0F-THE-BEAT]

I'm totally not a heels girl, although I wish I was. They just mess up my back / hips / neck / legs when I wear them.

I pull them out for special occasions, but I always pack a pair of roll-up flats in my purse. Heels after lots of liquor = DANGER for me! Plus I have no tolerance for blisters whatsoever.

 

[Samadhi]

I can't wear heels - i tried to wear heels to my work's gala ball last year and lasted about 10 minutes before I had my flats on.

PI - I *love* those wedges, the colour, material, design!
