i've been trying to get more colorful with my eyeshadow lately too, but i always feel like a clown whenever i put it on and wipe a lot of it off. :(

Yeah I have the same problem with eyeshadow spork. But at my best friend's wedding last weekend us bridesmaids all had purple eyeshadow and it actually really suited my complexion! So it's inspired me to try again with some coloured eyeshadows.

Thank you darling! The undercoat is OPI Don't Know Beets Me.

Monkeybizness- would swicthing to something like Cetaphil help?

This is a good idea actually. The only thing I ever clean my face with is Cetaphil and it's great.
 
I used Cetaphil for years as my skin has given me huge problems, it's only now (and i'm 34 this year) that it's *finally* settling down, hallelujah! I use a dark red/purple eyeliner sometimes (called Cabernet) and i find that it really complements my eyes (being green).

N30 - you looked so beautiful at your best friend's wedding (as did the bride!)<3 The whole day looked fantastic :)
 
^^ Thank you my love!! I will post a couple of the professional pics when they come because the ones people have taken with their personal cameras haven't really encapsulated the colours etc.

Actually no, here's one photo my boyfriend took, which shows us b-maids in all our glory =D (I'm on the left for those who don't know)

Oh jeez. Well to sum it up, I got 9 bottles of nail polish including 2 OPI's, 1 Zoya, 1 Nicole by OPI, 1 Barielle and some random others. I also got a new in box bottle of Zoya's Renew product, that rejuvenates old nail polish for $11 USD, plus $2.50 shipping. I won the auction on Monday and received them on Thursday.

i tried the sally hansen salon effects this weekend on my two ring fingers. they look neat but it wasn't super easy to put them on. might take some practice.

Took some pics. I originally had blue on the other fingers but when that chipped I went for pink. The edges have chipped but I didn't put a clear coat on top (I hear that makes it last longer although it does not say to put a topcoat on in the directions). Because of the pattern, you really don't notice the chips.

Thanks! The super bright colors I have are by Mattese. For those in or visiting NYC, you can get their polishes at Ricky's. (If you're going to be in the city, you HAVE TO visit this store. It's amazing!)
 
^ Ouhh good call on posting the best stores. That polish porn I posted a while ago:

67249_708013398531_22000465_39325297_1777478_n.jpg


is Lynamy Beauty Supply Store in Rodgers Park (a neighborhood in Chicago off the Red Line).

Here's the yelp! reviews if you don't believe me ;): http://www.yelp.com/biz/lynamy-nail-and-beauty-supply-chicago

The selection and prices seem pretty fantastic. Here's what someone else said about it:

I was like a kid on steroids in a candy store when I walked into this place. OPI nail polish is $3.95 (regularly $8.50), Essie is $2.75 (regularly $8.00), and China Glaze is $2 (regularly $6.50).

So go if you're in Chicago! :)
 
^After seeing that nail p0rn a few pages back, I used Google to try and find a beauty supply near me but I couldn't really find anything other than Sally's. Yelp! is a much better resource and I think I found one!!!!

My nails keep peeling lately and I have no idea what to do.

Mine do that sometimes as well. I had a manicure done a few weeks ago (before my friend's wedding) and asked the girl about it. She said the main reason nails peel is because of poor diet and/or being generally unwell or run down. Does this sound applicable to you aep?
I'm sure there are other reasons such as fungal infections etc, but that would be more noticeable because the nails discolour as well (I think? Very limited knowledge on the subject of nail fungus :)).
