For this manicure I used Zoya Burke, Essie Licorice and Sinful Colors Snow Me White. It was inspired by the armor the game's protagonist wears:<br />

I like that about it. My boyfriend and I weren't able to do anything special today because we both work and have vastly different schedules, but Sunday we made dinner, hung out and watched The Walking Dead, which is when I was wore this. What makes this a Valentines manicure? Well, let me show you!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYKEDMCSYwzmZ7umsc1o2j55Qkp5ksImclcc7FcRBTLY74rhWQG2lAyk-5abzTaR41D631uCCE5aD6d7SJpfdJcBzcSNUR5bWLOXWhHk7triToryq79NGZ8KPZZPJsjvQaicdkSw6-EcPQ/s1600/DSC_0822.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYKEDMCSYwzmZ7umsc1o2j55Qkp5ksImclcc7FcRBTLY74rhWQG2lAyk-5abzTaR41D631uCCE5aD6d7SJpfdJcBzcSNUR5bWLOXWhHk7triToryq79NGZ8KPZZPJsjvQaicdkSw6-EcPQ/s1600/DSC_0822.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">For this manicure I used one coat of Sally Hansen Nail Prisms in Amber Ruby layered over two coats of Sephora by OPI I'm With Brad. Some of you may know that my name happens to be Amber, a couple of you might even know that my boyfriend's name is Brad! I thought I was pretty clever with this Valentines manicure, lol! I specifically bought SOPI I'm With Brad just because of it's name, but it's a very pretty polish as well. I'm With Brad is a vampy blackened red shimmer which, thanks to the overcast skies here, you can't really appreciate. It was the perfect polish to layer Amber Ruby over. Amber Ruby is a fantastic gold to red duochrome from Sally Hansen's discontinued Nail Prisms line. I was recently given this polish by my friend Leeana who thought I needed a polish with my name in it :)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

I hope your day is going well :) I have two Valentines manicures to share with you today! For this manicure, I wanted to do something that was fun. I didn't want to do anything pink and red, but something you could still tell was meant for today. This is what I came up with to wear to work!</div><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">I used two coats of Essie Curtain Call for my base then somehow managed to make dainty little hearts with just the polish brushes! Internet high five for me! The blue hearts are a base of Orly Pretty Peacock topped with China Glaze Blue Years Eve, the pink hearts are a base of Essie Super Bossa Nova topped with Milani Raspberry Fusion. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

Zoya Dove + Butter London Rosie Lee<div style="text-align: justify;">OH HELLO THERE! :D I *think* I'm back! For real! Maybe! Haha, anyways, hi! I've missed posting here, but my nails have been a wreck and I just haven't had the oomph to post either, so what can ya do? Well, I'm here now, most of my nails are almost back to normal (my cuticles are still excessively dry) and I have the desire to take photos and post them! I did hack my right thumb up pretty good at work last week though (if you're curious, you can see a photo <a href="http://tomorrowinayear.tumblr.com/post/17349298019/038-365-day-5-healing-grossly" target="_blank">here</a>) so I'll be doing my best to hide it in my photos, but if you notice an unpainted/gnarly looking portion of nail hanging out, I apologize in advance :)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Today I'd like to share with you a tape manifail I did last night.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I got the idea for this manicure from a photo I saw on Pinterest. I was able to track down the source to <a href="http://pshiiit.com/2012/01/28/butter-london-rosie-lee-paye-ta-paillette-rose/" target="_blank">Pshiiit.com</a>, a French nail polish fan's blog. I didn't have Essie Sand Tropez or anything like it, so I chose to use something more neutral than nude for my base, Zoya Dove. It didn't turn out quiet right, the triangles are a little too pointy and my edges smeared a bit, but I'll live :) My right (non-photographing) hand turned out much better.<br />

Sorry for my unscheduled hiatus, I have been very busy with work, attempting to secure a second job and spending time with my friend Winifred who is currently recovering from a broken hip in a nursing/rehab center. Also videogames, ngl. I would have loved to have finished my 13 Days of Nailoween, but I have to admit it was a bit ambitious as October is always busy at work, and that wasn't even the half of it! I did take pictures of a couple manicures that I didn't have time to crop/upload/post, so maybe you'll see some seasonally inappropriate manis here in the near future, if not, there's always next year! :)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Enough chit chat though, let me show you something I wore recently!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I originally fell in love with Essie's Trophy Wife when I caught my friend Sharon sporting it. I don't normally dig frosty polishes, but Trophy Wife is definitely an exception! It's a gorgeous teal frost that is rich with a lot of depth. It's a color that I imagine looks well on arm candy by way of a skin tight silk cocktail dress. If fact, I wore it to a work party to match my favorite not-so-silky-or-skin-tight cocktail dress (no pics of that, sorry! lol) XD Blah blah blah, here's more pictures!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The next day, I wanted to jazz it up a little bit, so I added Love & Beauty Light Green (same as L.A. Girl Rock Star Crowd Surfing) which is a sheer spring/seafoam green shimmer with orange-to-green flakies.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

Let's just pretend I didn't just get home, having left the house this morning before noon. Ugh. I so tired! Anyways, since we're pretending again, go ahead and pretend I'm posting this on Friday proper, okay?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a76/snufffilm/allyourbasecoat/DSC_0463.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a76/snufffilm/allyourbasecoat/DSC_0463.png" /></a></div><br />
I did this manicure late Thursday night (well, Friday morning technically) before bed, so I have some shrinkage from good ol' SV going on. At first I just had the diagonal colored bits, but it looked a little Mardi Gras, so I added the dots. I'm glad I did.<br />

For this manicure I used Essie Licorice, Zoya Julieanne, Apple and Tangy. That's all you need to know right? I'm so tired, haha ;_;Amberhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09507577270364370348noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9192897324396180571.post-37190463631284961912011-10-20T17:00:00.002-05:002011-10-20T17:00:00.668-05:0013 Days of Nailoween: Wet n' Wild Creepy Pumpkin w/ crappy black tips<div style="text-align: justify;">Okay, let's pretend for a second that this manicure doesn't look like poop and that I'm good at doing french tips. While we're pretending, let's go ahead and say that I don't absolutely hate this manicure too, okay? Haha :) </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</tbody></table><div style="text-align: justify;">I suck something fierce at free-handing french tips, especially on short nails. This is a particularly bad example of my suckatude too. I wanted something fast and easy because... well... Batman: Arkham City came out Tuesday and I'm sorta busy with that, okay? XD</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Now, I love both of these polishes. Wet n' Wild Fantasy Makers Creepy Pumpkin is a delightful orange jelly loaded with glitter. It's great for jelly sandwiches (which I should have done) and reaches bottle opacity in about three coats. Icing Twilight is a nice black polish with silver glitter. It's not original or unique, but it dos it's job. I haven't been able to do comparisons yet, but I'd say this is a pretty close dupe for China Glaze Haunting from this year's Halloween line. I need to do that soon...</div>Amberhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09507577270364370348noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9192897324396180571.post-8544024030584499632011-10-19T17:00:00.002-05:002011-10-19T17:25:38.106-05:0013 Days of Nailoween: Bat Moon Rising<div style="text-align: justify;">Oh hi guys! Long time no update! I've been uber busy with work and quarter four videogame releases (heh) that I've had no time to even think about doing my nails, for shame! But here I am... and with a new feature for you!</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a76/snufffilm/allyourbasecoat/nailoween.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a76/snufffilm/allyourbasecoat/nailoween.png" /></a></div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">Muahahahahaha! Yessssssss, the 13 Days of Nailoween starts today and will run through Halloween. I will be uploading a new Halloween/spooky manicure each day! Hooray!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Today I'd like to share with you a design I saw come across my blogroll but can't for the life of me find now. With that said, if you know whose manicure I took inspiration from for this design (or if you are that person), please let me know so I can give due credit! So, without further adieu, feast your eyes upon...</div><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">For this manicure I used two coats of China Glaze Tempest as a base, China Glaze Happy Go Lucky for the moon and I just doodled the bats on with Sharpie because it was late and I was tired. They smudged a little while I was asleep because I didn't think they'd need a top coat, but apparently they did, lol. This manicure is far from perfect, but I'm happy with it regardless :)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">You might notice I change up my layout to match this mani! Keep an eye out for other Halloween manicure inspired layouts for the entirety of this feature as I will be changing it often! Thanks so much to all of you who've stuck around through my absence. I lost a few followers, but what can ya do! As always, thanks for looking!</div>Amberhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09507577270364370348noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9192897324396180571.post-48948971617626016112011-09-14T17:17:00.002-05:002011-09-14T17:20:39.251-05:00Borghese Mediterraneo Sea + my own nail mail! :D<div style="text-align: justify;">Today I received a package that I have been awaiting from my best friend, <a href="http://insilentfilms.blogspot.com/">Cathy</a>. MO sucks when it comes to availablity for a lot of things, polish included. Since Cathy lives in CA, she has a significantly better pool of resources to chose from, so she's been picking things up for me here and there. I had a hard time deciding what to try first, so I went with what Cathy had been holding for me the longest, Borghese Mediterraneo Sea.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a76/snufffilm/DSC_0173.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a76/snufffilm/DSC_0173.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Mediterraneo Sea is a navy base loaded with a ton of multicolor glitter. It dries matte, which gives the glitter a neat frosted look. Like the other Borghese glitter polishes that released with this collection in the fall of last year, Mediterraneo Sea is a bit on the lumpy side, but I don't mind. This is two coats, but I could have totally gotten away with one.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</tbody></table><div style="text-align: justify;">I don't remember if I mentioned this when I posted about Nero Magico, but I absolutely hate Borghese's brush. It's wide and stubby, which makes it hard to not paint my entire finger while applying polish. Seriously obnoxious.

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">My good friend Jenny is currently prancing around Europe, and while she's gone, she's been having her nail mail sent to me to babysit. She's been kind enough to let me fondle everything that has come in as well as try a couple of things out, such as these two polishes. For this manicure I painted my thumb, middle finger and pinky with two coats of China Glaze Cha Cha Cha, then I applied two coats of OPI Simply Smashing on all nails. I'm pretty sure Cha Cha Cha and Simply Smashing were made for each other. The last two photos were taken in shade, the rest were taken in full sun.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

For this Silver Cap Sunday, I had originally wanted to share OPI DS Original with you, but my body and my brain weren't working together and I was half way through my second hand before I realized I grabbed the wrong damn polish (it's been one of those weeks, lol). I couldn't bare to waste what I had already used, so I just went with it :) </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a76/snufffilm/allyourbasecoat/DSC_0083.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a76/snufffilm/allyourbasecoat/DSC_0083.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I intended to compare DS Exclusive and DS Extravagance (which you can see my post about <a href="http://allyourbasecoat.blogspot.com/2011/08/silver-cap-sunday-opi-ds-extravagance.html">here</a>) side by side when I swatched this one, but I ran out of daylight. IMO, the only difference between the two is that Exclusive is a linear holo where Extravagance is scattered. That is seriously the only difference. The shade is, at least to my eye, exactly the same.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I've been wearing this for three days without a topcoat, so please excuse the tip wear. I tried to take photos yesterday, and you can see how well that went by looking at the last photo. It was all sorts of gloomy and rainy yesterday, haha :D The rest of the photos were taken in full sun, but I digress...</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I want to take a minute to thank everyone for reading AYBC and leaving such wonderful comments :) When I started my blog I didn't expect anyone outside of a few friends would be reading it, but thanks to several polish groups on Facebook and the recommendations I've received from the friends I've made there, my lame little blog has attracted 201 followers at current :D Of course, that's not why I started this blog and it's not why I continue to update it when I can get my shit together, I do so because I enjoy sharing my hobby with like-minded people because it's much more fun to be excited with others about something you love than it is to be squeeing to yourself and your cats... who are more than a little indifferent, I might add. I had such a great time reading through all of the jokes, haikus and comments everyone wrote in the giveaway form. Many lols were had and I surely blushed at the nice things you guys had to say about me and my blog. I wish all of you could win ;_; Well, with that said... let's see who did!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Hurrr, h'okay... ngl, when Random pulled that number and I saw who won, I laughed my head off. I *almost* hit the randomizer again just because I felt that whatever cosmic energy bonds you to your best friend had some kind of hand in the outcome and, well, really? Haha, but in all fairness, I can't fault my bff for being lucky. Congratulations, Cathy! And thanks again to everyone else who participated :) I will definitely be doing this again in the future, it was so much fun!</div>Amberhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09507577270364370348noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9192897324396180571.post-27707890707900337812011-09-06T03:45:00.002-05:002011-09-06T03:52:18.659-05:00Barielle Buddha-ful<div style="text-align: justify;">Hey guys! I hope you all had a great Labor Day weekend, I worked the entire time! Sorry for the lack of Silver Cap Sunday this past week, I had a bit of a... snafu... with one of my nails while putting together baby's first Melmer. Well, I'll just show you what I mean.</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a76/snufffilm/allyourbasecoat/DSC_0030.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a76/snufffilm/allyourbasecoat/DSC_0030.png" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a76/snufffilm/crap/awesome_face_crying_by_thenaruterox100pre-d3375j7.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a76/snufffilm/crap/awesome_face_crying_by_thenaruterox100pre-d3375j7.png" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Yeah, I totally snapped my nail off at the corner three quarters of the way down, it didn't feel very good. Don't even ask how, I'm not 100% sure. All I know is getting my Memler together was worth it because those things are awesome. Anyways, here's some more photos :)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a76/snufffilm/allyourbasecoat/DSC_0031.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a76/snufffilm/allyourbasecoat/DSC_0031.png" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a76/snufffilm/allyourbasecoat/DSC_0029.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a76/snufffilm/allyourbasecoat/DSC_0029.png" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a76/snufffilm/allyourbasecoat/DSC_0027.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a76/snufffilm/allyourbasecoat/DSC_0027.png" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a76/snufffilm/allyourbasecoat/DSC_0034.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a76/snufffilm/allyourbasecoat/DSC_0034.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">You can see that I had been wearing this for a few days (at work no less) because there's some obvious tip wear, but for the most part, this polish holds up well. Even though the photos are a bit dark, the color is pretty true to life. This shade is almost a mannequin hands color for me, but considering it has the iridescent green flakies, it's more like mannequin jazz hands. Application was a breeze and I achieved bottle opacity in two coats. For my ring finger, I layred one coat Buddha-ful, two coats Nubar 2010, one coat Buddha-ful, one coat 2010. It's pretty sexy. This is definitely in my top five polishes now. Good job, Barielle!<br />

Lol, I'm totally bring this up because I went crazy with my top coat on this manicure to smooth everything out and I didn't realize it was everywhere until... well... now, while I was going through the photos I took this morning before work. Oh well, you guys are cool :P</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">ANYWAYS! I did this manicure last night thinking the release for Dead Island, a videogame I'm really looking forward to, was today. Unfortunately my brain was a bit derpy, because it doesn't come out til Tuesday. I didn't really want to wait that long to share this, so here it is :)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a76/snufffilm/allyourbasecoat/DSC_0014.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a76/snufffilm/allyourbasecoat/DSC_0014.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I based my idea off the cover art for the game (which you can check out <a href="http://xboxfreedom.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/dead-island-xbox-cover.jpg">here</a> if you feel so inclined), with the gray/blue sponging as the cloudy sky and the red splatter as blood... it is a zombie game after all! I used A LOT of polish for this manicure:</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">From left to right we have Sinful Colors Snow Me White, Zoya Dove, Funky Fingers Elephunk, Orly Snowcone, Barielle Slate of Affairs and China Glaze Phat Santa.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a76/snufffilm/allyourbasecoat/DSC_0763.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a76/snufffilm/allyourbasecoat/DSC_0763.png" /></a></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

</td></tr>
</tbody></table><div style="text-align: justify;">Both of these polishes are from China Glaze's 2010 Holiday collections. Jolly Holly is an emerald green that leans olive, giving it a more earthy tone. In the sun, it glows a true emerald with golden undertones. It's definitely not a polish I'd usually grab for, but I have a feeling I'll be wearing this more often come fall and winter. Mistletoe Kisses is a minty sort of green loaded with glitter, I love this polish.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

I think you'll agree that I definitely did a better job of cleaning up excess polish today!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</tbody></table><div style="text-align: justify;">Man, you have no idea how hard it was for me to slop that much nail polish on my fingers! But I digress... I've never worn Midnight Cami before. I swatched it when I bought it and was very disappointed. In the bottle, it looks like magic. The way Essie embosses their bottles causes light trickery. While looking at Midnight Cami in the bottle, you'd expect there would be some kind of red/purple duochrome, on the nail, however, Midnight Cami is a bit of an underwhelming blackened blue with micro fine blue shimmer. Unless you're looking at it in full sun, it looks like a dark navy blue, almost black. Bummer.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Another issue I have with Midnight Cami involves how it cleans up... which is poorly. This shit stains! I tried to attack it with a brush, q-tips and finally cotton pads, none of which were very effective at getting this crap off my fingers in a satisfactory manner. No matter which empliment I used to try to remove it, it would drag, feather and otherwise be a pain in the ass. I will not be wearing Midnight Cami again without applying a protective barrier of liquid latex first, that's for damn sure. Going forward, I'd ask you to just completely ignore the fact that I have an index finger... because it's a hot mess!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Due to the fact that Midnight Cami bores me, I had to cover it in glitter to make it suck less, here's what I used:</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Love & Beauty Blue is the same thing as LA Girl Glitter Addict Jostle. It's a clear polish with blue glitter of the small square and large hex varieties. Sally Hansen Twinkle, Twinkle is a clear polish with large silver holo hex glitter and small square glitter in silver and what I can only describe as royal blurple. It has a lot of dimension to it when layered. The next three photos were taken in full sun, the last two taken in shade.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<b> 3. Do you have any weird phobias?</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I have <i>a lot</i> of weird phobias. For a long time, I was terrified of sticking my hands in the oven as I was convinced the door would slam shut and sear my flesh off, though I'm mostly okay with it now. Probably my most notable phobia is my fear of unfamiliar toilets... and it's not because of germs! If I haven't used a particular toilet before, I'm convinced it will malfunction on me in some way. There are only a few toilets outside of my own home that I'm comfortable using. All my coworkers know that I won't use the bathroom at work unless I can get in the third stall in Nordstroms, haha :D</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
<b> 4. What’s a song you secretly love to blast and belt out when you’re alone?</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I will basically do this with anything I know the lyrics to, but one of my favorites is the entirety of Johnny Cash - At Folsom Prison, Jackson in particular :)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
<b> 5. What’s one of your biggest pet peeves?</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">When people call cicadas locusts. Their not even in the same family of insect! They look nothing alike! For all that is good and holy, freaking stop it, peopl!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
<b> 6. What’s one of your nervous habits?</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Talking too much. I'll just start spewing information at a fast pace until I stumble over my words and stop talking all together from embarrassment. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
<b> 7. What side of the bed do you sleep on?</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">It depends really, usually whatever side of the bed is next to the wall.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
<b> 8. What was your first stuffed animal and its name?</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Puffy, who was a pink Puffalump cow.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

I use sunscreen when I know I'm going to be outside for a prolonged period of time, but I can't stand the feeling of it on my skin so I have a hard time wearing it <i>all the time</i>, though I'd rather I did and harp on other people for it, especially my sun-loving family.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

Sorry for the delay in my first Silver Cap Sunday, hopefully it was worth the wait! Today I'd like to share with you OPI DS Extravagance.</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a76/snufffilm/allyourbasecoat/DSC_0808.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a76/snufffilm/allyourbasecoat/DSC_0808.png" /></a></div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">DS Extravagance is a delicious magenta polish with scattered holo. Unlike the other holo Designer Series polishes I've tried, Extravagance is a little tricky to apply. To say it's too thick isn't accurate, but it's a little... gloopy? Normally I'd blame it on old polish, but this bottle is brand new. It went a little lumpy in areas and I had some noticeable brush strokes. I believe adding some thinner will probably help, but I haven't experimented yet. I also noticed that adding a topcoat to Extravagance dulled the holo a bit, so I opted to not wear one for these photos. I reached bottle opacity in two even coats.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">Would you like to be involved in deciding what I'll share next for Silver Cap Sundays? Or would you prefer to be surprised? I've been toying with the idea of adding a poll, but I wanted to get your opinion on the matter :)</div>Amberhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09507577270364370348noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9192897324396180571.post-33677302985597529082011-08-18T03:19:00.001-05:002011-08-21T23:18:04.864-05:00One of the best layering experiments ever :O<div style="text-align: justify;">I picked up Ruby Kisses Bold and the Beautiful a while ago hoping it might satisfy my lemming for OPI Sapphire in the Snow.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a76/snufffilm/allyourbasecoat/DSC_0823.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a76/snufffilm/allyourbasecoat/DSC_0823.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">It's not quiet the same color, Bold and the Beautiful is a bit more red based than Sapphire in the Snow, but it's still a gorgeous purple cream. It also has an amazing shine to it, I didn't use a top coat in any of these photos so you could see for yourself. Please excuse the messy (lack of) clean up, I was in a rush to get ready for work.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Because, as you know, I suck at wearing just one nail polish, I decided to layer a Love & Beauty polish I hadn't tried yet which is just labelled as blue/multi.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a76/snufffilm/allyourbasecoat/DSC_0847.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a76/snufffilm/allyourbasecoat/DSC_0847.png" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Blue/multi is a sheer cornflower blue polish with a pink/copper duochrome. In the bottle it reminds me a bit of China Glaze Blue w/o You, but it's not nearly as awesome. This is a polish that really comes alive when layered over something else. Well, see for yourself:</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

I've been wrangling kittens on my days off, so I haven't had much time to paint my nails (gasp!) or photograph them when I do. With that said, I am starting a new feature to give me a bit of a nudge to update at least once a week. Starting this Sunday, I will begin Silver Cap Sundays, a personal challenge to myself to wear and share (as in, share photos, don't get too excited!) all of my silver cap polishes such as OPI Designer Series polishes and some coveted China Glaze polishes as well as holiday goodies. I think it'll be fun :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Anyways! What you're really here for... my 100 follower giveaway! I'm not fortunate enough to be able to hold giveaways a lot, and that's exactly why it took me so long to get this one going. I had a strict budget to work with and wasn't able to get everything I wanted to, but I'm pretty happy with what I have up for grabs :) Here's what you could win:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a76/snufffilm/allyourbasecoat/DSC_0785-1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a76/snufffilm/allyourbasecoat/DSC_0785-1.png" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">From left to right: Ruby Kisses HD Midnight Stars, Ruby Kisses HD Mediterranean Night Sky, Cherimoya 2012 cracked nail polish in Judgement Day, Cherimoya 2012 cracked nail polish in Sungod, Kleancolor Melon Green, Kleancolor Blue Satin and a sample of LUSH Lemony Flutter!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">All of the polishes are brand new and gorgeous! I wish I could enter my own giveaway, lol! I don't have swatches to share with you because I don't own any of these polishes (...yet), but they're pretty easy to find! Hit the jump to enter and see close up bottle pics of the goodies!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"></div><a name='more'></a><br />

I have a problem... I can't seem to wear just one polish at a time!</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a76/snufffilm/allyourbasecoat/DSC_0773.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a76/snufffilm/allyourbasecoat/DSC_0773.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Now, OPI Ink is the actual name of the shade, so technically this is OPI OPI Ink, but for the sake of not looking redundant, I'll omit the first OPI ;) OPI Ink is a beautiful dark royal purple polish with blue and purple glass fleck-ish shimmer. It has a slight duochrome quality to it. Since I painted my nails with this the night before, I don't have pictures of OPI Ink on it's own, but they're easy to find :)</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a76/snufffilm/allyourbasecoat/DSC_0787.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a76/snufffilm/allyourbasecoat/DSC_0787.png" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">For this manicure, I layered two coats of OPI Ink, one coat of Ruby Kisses All Purpled Out and two coats of OPI I Juggle... Men. </div><br />

She makes some seriously cool frankens and I was lucky enough to purchase a few from her a few months ago. Today I'm going to show you a recent glitterbomb I did using All You Can Eat.</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a76/snufffilm/allyourbasecoat/DSC_0721-1.png" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a76/snufffilm/allyourbasecoat/DSC_0721-1.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">All You Can Eat is a glitter polish to end all glitter polishes. Kae used <i>seventeen</i> different colored glitters in making All You Can Eat. It looks magnificent layered over black, so that's just what I did. I started with two coats of Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Midnight in NY.</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a76/snufffilm/allyourbasecoat/DSC_0718.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a76/snufffilm/allyourbasecoat/DSC_0718.png" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a76/snufffilm/allyourbasecoat/DSC_0716.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a76/snufffilm/allyourbasecoat/DSC_0716.png" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">Midnight in NY is a black cream base with rainbow colored microfine glitter. It's a hard polish to capture properly on camera. While I really like the idea of a polish like this, I think it could be a little better. Another thing that irks me about this polish is it's formula, which is semi-difficult to work with. It's thick-ish, kinda lumpy and bubbles almost every time I use it. It's pretty unfortunate. </div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a76/snufffilm/allyourbasecoat/DSC_0737.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a76/snufffilm/allyourbasecoat/DSC_0737.png" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">You probably noticed some other stuff going on there with my accent nail. For that I used one layer of Love & Beauty Clear/Silver and one layer of Ulta Pinata-Yada-Yada. Enjoy!</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a76/snufffilm/allyourbasecoat/DSC_0723.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a76/snufffilm/allyourbasecoat/DSC_0723.png" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a76/snufffilm/allyourbasecoat/DSC_0735.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a76/snufffilm/allyourbasecoat/DSC_0735.png" width="400" /></a></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<div style="text-align: justify;">Bottom line is this polish is phenomenal. It's beautiful even when it's not flashing at all. I'll be hard pressed to find a polish I love more than Let's Do It In 3-D.</div>Amberhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09507577270364370348noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9192897324396180571.post-10566795526249963352011-07-19T16:04:00.000-05:002011-07-19T16:04:23.048-05:00Glitterbomb featuring China Glaze Glam<div style="text-align: justify;">First things first! I finally got around to updating my polish spreadsheet with the help of my best friend, Cathy, so there is finally something on my stash page! You can check out my spreadsheet <a href="https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Ap8_FP0NRI6sdExTNlpLZzVFakIyaVlnSFRKZHNLNmc&hl=en&authkey=CJyk18MH#gid=0">here</a> :D You should also visit Cathy's ortho/nail blog <a href="http://insilentfilms.blogspot.com/">here</a> because she takes some fantastic photos of her nails! I also got around to writing up a proper wishlist, which if you're so inclined, you can look at by clicking the wishlist tab above.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Okay, now down to business. This weeks manicure challenge was glitterbomb. I actually had these pictures ready to go yesterday, but I was too lazy to update, lol. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">While at a friend's house Sunday night, I spied a bottle of OPI Suzi Loves Sydney hanging out on her kitchen counter. It looked lonely, so I decided to try it on! I had intended to do something completely different for my glitterbomb, but I really liked Suzi Loves Sydney, so I decided to work with it. When I got home I sponged on some China Glaze Mrs. Claus follow by some China Glaze Glam, which is obviously the star of this manicure.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I didn't take photos until Monday afternoon, and as you can see, I dented the tips of my pointer and middle fingers. After taking photos of this gorgeous manicure, I decided I'd try to add <i>more </i>glitter to try and work towards the idea I originally had in my head before Suzi Loves Sydney ruined everything, lol. Sure, this was glittery, but it wasn't glittery <i>enough.</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

I had been lusting after it since <a href="http://llacquer.blogspot.com/">Lindsay</a> posted about it. Not too long after that, <a href="http://the-trace-face-philes.blogspot.com/">Traci</a> altered me to a bottle hanging out for sale on <a href="http://www.thepolishaholic.com/">The PolishAholic</a>. I snatched it up and here it is!</div><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">I sponged some China Glaze No Tan Lines over all but the ring finger then mattefied the whole she-bang-a-bang with Matte About You. It's incredibly gorgeous.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
