I'm still here!

...wherever here is! I promise I'll be back in proper form after the new year, but for now, I'm pretty figgin' busy with stuff. So here, look at some polish I scored! (The ten american apparel polishes were bought for $5. YES!)

also, that lovely box, the Ulta minis & the polish pen are from my sister. I loves her so much <3

yaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy polish!

Franken friday #... I wanna say...9? 10?

Nothing too exciting, I'm afraid :-( This one is called Lipstick On Your Collar. Pretty boring... I'll figure something out to change it up a little :-)

Polish Days: BLING!

If you've read more than 3 of my blog posts, you might have noticed that glitter is a staple in my polish diet. (Ew, that sounds gross... there's a chick out there who drinks nail polish apparently, but I didn't have the heart to click on the youtube link when I saw it in the sidebar. Rest assured, I am not her! But, I digress.) I have a weakness for shiny, sparkly, seductive, ethereal glitter. The harder it is to remove, the more I'm bound to love it, and will want it on my nails at every opportunity. So today, I have out-blinged myself. I started with a base of Petites Midnite Frost, which is a black jelly with fine silver glitter, and originally planned to just put some NYX Frizz Spots on top & call it a day. But um, no... because this is a SPESHUL day! So then Pure Ice Strapless happened. But it kind of covered up the glitter below... so then I added Sinful Colors Pearl Harbor on top. To maximize the bling quotient, I then added NYX Spot Light on top. (Excuse my tips, it's not tip wear... I'm having top coat issues. Grr!) Is this obnoxious enough for you? ;-)

Franken Fr...uesday? #...armadillo?

Ok ok ok, I know I've been non existent here, but I'm back! With TWO frankens to make up for the two fridays I missed. Without further ado, here they be <3

Sweet November is a peachy orange shimmer, with medium silver and gold hex glitter. It was an experiment in bleeding copper glitter, dumped into a white shimmer base. It's pretty, but meh on me, so I'm sending it to my cousin. She'll like it I think. 

Celestial is a blue jelly with gold hex glitter, but it's the wrong blue! I'm going to try to fix the blue to get it closer to the royal blue I had envisioned. Oddly enough, I'm not in love with this. I think once I fix the color, I might like it more. 

Now, as a bonus, I present to you my boyfriend's nails:

He really likes having his nails painted now... I've created a monster, hahaha! But I'm happy to share my collection with him. This is Color Club Halo Hues, uh... Trumpet something. The silver holo. I'm too lazy to look for the bottle, sorry :-P

So, there you go :-) Can you forgive me? I'll be putting up another post soon for Polish Days, stay tuned!

I've been so neglectful!

and I'm sorry! But I'll be back soon, I promise <3 Hang in there!

Turkey Day is here :-)

This marks the third year in a row that I've happily chosen NOT to see my family, whom I've cut off all contact with, except for my brother & sister. From what I hear of the family drama via my sister, I'm ever more happy to not be in touch. Remember folks... you can't choose WHO you're related to, but you can choose HOW you relate, & I choose not to relate at all. Simple as that!

So this year, me & my fella (who has no family to celebrate with) are going to celebrate together. I'm going over to his place later, & he's cooking pork chops (We're rebels ;-). He's one of the people in my life I'm most thankful for... I doubt I've ever met a man with a bigger heart. Tomorrow or Saturday, someone's coming to pick up a blanket they commissioned, & I'm also giving him plants for his mom. I just did a HUGE re-potting & grooming of almost all the plants in my window, which is another thing I'm thankful for. I love my little garden of african violets, jade plants, geraniums, marigolds, my barely sprouting tulips, & my everlasting tomato plants.

I'll probably be late on Franken Friday, but I'm pretty sure I'll have another manicure on my fellas hands to show off soon, so stay tuned ;-) and Happy Thanksgiving!

Aerosmith nails!

My fella, being the generous loving man he is, bought us tickets to go see Aerosmith & Cheap Trick last night. I was so excited, I had to do a manicure to celebrate... they're seriously one of my favorite bands everrrr.

I used Sally Hansen Ion as a base, then painted on the logo in black & silver glitter. I stuck a star from Wet n' Wild Star of the Party in the middle. On my pinky & thumb, I used GOSH Lambada and a variety of stick on studs from KISS. My left hand had three black nails (WnW Ebony Hates Chris) in the middle with Lambada on pinky & thumb, and studs on all nails.

Not only was the show fucking rad, but the meal afterwards was DIVINE. Korean bbq, mmm mm mmmm! It was a feast, I tell you. He really does spoil me rotten <3
