I finally decided to use some of the decals I've been collecting. Smart! I started with Claire's Pink Rose polish. It has an awesome, subtle golden holo shimmah! In some lights it almost looks like a lime green shimmah. Then I used decals from Fing'rs Edge, the Royal Punk set.

I apologize that some of the pictures are blurry - my zoom had a mind of its own that night!

I was impatient in putting on the decals so I didn't wait until my polish was totally dry. I think it might have turned out a little better if I had waited, but then I had the dilemma of not wanting to put a layer of quick dry top coat on top of a basically dry mani (and risking peeling and shrinking).

This was lots of fun and lasted a few days for me (which is good), so I'll definitely be using more decals in the future! :D

Happy Saturday!! I'm sorry I haven't posted much this week. Here are pictures of My Private Dud - erm, OPI My Private Jet version 3 of 4 (so I'm told). I thought I had the original super holo version but alas, no, I have the sporadically holo shimmah version that is referred to on the MUA Nail Board as "the dud." How could I not know?! I think I have been in denial.

It's three coats. It's nice, don't get me wrong, I'm just massively disappointed that I now have two versions of MPJ, neither of which I really wanted (when compared to the awesomeness of versions 1 and 2). *sigh*

I have to say that it's unendingly annoying when companies release several versions of the same name polish. I feel like it could even be some oblivious stupid mistake, but that almost makes it worse! No, I take that back - it is worse if they knowingly do it and don't tell us. :(

I was so excited to get this polish! It's Sephora by OPI Absinthe Makes the Heart from their Holiday collection. I did three coats here.

It's a very dark grayish murky green with various colored little shimmer bits.

It reminds me of shimmery crocodile skin! Not a normal "me" color, but I quite love it!

I tried my first NK polish recently. Have you seen or heard of these? I bought two while in Houston this summer. I found them in a huge mall inside a little accessories shop that didn't seem to be a chain. They are a good deal! Two dollars, I think. This is Royal Blue Frost. Not the most creative name ever, but hey, I forgive because it's very pretty.

It was a dreary day when I took these photos. I was trying to show off the shimmer above.

It's a very happy, pretty, showy blue to me. I adore it!

Happy Halloween, too!!

I have a few pictures of RBL Mismas for you. It is a supa fly purple creme! I think this was two coats.

I believe the photos portray the color pretty accurately. It reads a hair less blue in real life.

If you haven't had the pleasure of using RBL cremes, let me tell you, they are something! Beautifully pigmented, creamy, easy to work with, smooth, and cooperative. :)

Hey everybody! I forgot to post these pictures yesterday of the same manicure I featured with the Urban Decay Meltdown, Sinful Daddy's Girl, and Sinful I Love You. They are taken in sunlight. Behold! The bottle pic is Daddy's Girl.

Bottle pic here is I Love You.

Maybe I'll play with my base coat/top coat combos when using Hot Topic polishes next time. Currently I've been using Sally Hansen Nail Quencher for a base and most of the time I use Poshe for my top coat.

I hauled today!! I got a bunch of Claire's polishes, three OPI Suedes, some others.....and.....*drumroll* the original OPI My Private Jet!!! WooooooOOHOOOOooo! I didn't think I would ever find it, at least not easily in retail. I also was able to use a coupon, so super score. I'm wearing it right now and will have pictures for you soon. :)

I have some pictures of two of the newer Urban Decay polishes, Grunge and Meltdown. Meltdown is a luscious purple with a fine glowy shimmer. I felt like adding some more, so I layered one coat each of Sinful Daddy's Girl and I Love You on top. I kind of wish I had done I Love You and then Daddy's Girl in that order because it seemed like Daddy's Girl had some subtlety to it that I Love You may have trampled over! Either way, it turned out beautiful.

This is Grunge, a blackish, blueish, greenish color with a hint of silvery frost. It is very, very cool!!

I'm definitely looking forward to trying the other colors in the super cute Apocalyptic kit. I wonder if Urban is going to continue to make nail polish? I'm hoping this kit heralds the return of a core line!
