Okay, I have to put this up quickly because my TD order should be here any minute.... The UPS page says "Out For Delivery" and I'm sitting here waiting and watching for the truck.... I know, I need a life. Whatevs. Come on, truck..... I'm going insane. They're doing this to me on purpose, I swear....
Anywho, here's some more spam while we're waiting.... yes, I said we... You're waiting with me :p
Lippmann Razzle Dazzle. Really quite pretty. From the Lippmann All That Jazz set, came with Some Enchanted Evening and Lady Sings The Blues.
Obligatory Blogger-flipped photo :(
I liked this a lot more than I expected to. It was kind of what I wanted WnW Night Prowl to be....
This is Kiko Cosmetics 270 over Sephora by OPI Read My Palm. I know it looks like crap here - I couldn't photograph it properly for the life of me. But trust me when I say it's an awesome glitter topcoat - it's comprised of tons of multicoloured pailettes that shimmer and reflect tons of different colours depending on the light and base colour.... I know they look yellow here, but overtop of this colour they mainly reflected blue and green... It looked very mermaid-like...
Aaargh. This photo is blurry and bad, but your can sort of see the blue it reflects IRL... It looked gorgeous, anyway. I received this in a swap, but you can order Kiko Cosmetics through their website, I believe. It frustrates me that I can't show you this topcoat properly though, so.... moving on.....
This was a recent KOTD. It's the Barielle Blackened Bleu from the other day stamped with China Glaze Sci-Fi, and a konad plate..... I can never remember the names of the plates. I fail at life. Sorry. But I did like the way this looked.
And this is my current KOTD.... current up until about ten minutes ago, that is, when I took it off in anticipation of my TD order arriving.... which still hasn't shown up, btw..... I'm seriously starting to get cold sweats....
It's like a "Still-Trying-To-Squeeze-Some-Use-Out-Of-My-Summer-Polishes" mani. I'm kind of in love with it. The base is an awesome polish from Claire's....
And yeah, its definitely hot :) It's like a neon orangey-pinkish red.... ish. It shifts between these three colours, depending on the light. But it's definitely neon. So bright and unique. I don't own another neon like it, and I own a lot of neons. This is probably the closest thing to a neon red that I have.... much closer than, say, China Glaze Rose Among Thorns, or something. But it's beautiful. And the application was seriously awesome - pigmented and not thick or gooey at all. I did three coats but two would have been fine. Three was easy to apply though - this polish is pretty thin.
Oh yeah, and I stamped overtop with Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in Expres-so Yellow... my favorite polishes for konad :) Other than the Chromes and Romatiques of course. Seriously, though, I've picked up so many of these just for konading - I find they work better than the actual Konad polishes! I tried doing this mani with the yellow Konad polish, but it just would NOT transfer to the nail at all, and the bit that did transfer barely showed up. So I tried again with this and got much better results :) If you're looking for some good colours to konad with, I highly recommend picking up a couple of these - especially the primary colours and the pastels.
Okay, the UPS guy still hasn't come by.... If he doesn't come today, I'll have to wait until Monday to get my order! The page still says "In transit" though..... I'm going to quietly have a meltdown in the corner. Hopefully I'll be back later.

ReplyDeleteI think every single NP lover/blogger has had to wait for the evil sadistic UPS truck. I swear every other day I'm not expecting something UPS comes between 12pm-4pm, but the days I have something "out for delivery" they come at 7pm!!!! I love Razzle Dazzle! I hope you got your order! I also tagged you for an award on my blog. You can find it here http://imperfectlypainted.blogspot.com/2010/09/cover-girl-fuchsia-fatale-award.html :)
