Sunday Post-A-Thon: The Nails

So, I thought I'd get some of this done Friday evening, but T came & kidnapped me for drinks, then I thought I'd post on Saturday & she came & kidnapped me again! So I'm going to make this a Sunday post-a-thon & try to get caught up on all that I've been procrastinating on. I will start - of course - with the nails.

This NOTD is from a few days ago, from my recent haul (pics of which are forthcoming), Icing Laura's Fave Konied with Misa Toxic Seduction & plate m56:


I also have a guest NOTD, my mom, who I've finally convinced to wear blue polish! Yay! This is Nina Ultra Pro In A Tiff:


So, now I've got the nails out of the way, on to the other stuff =) Stay tuned & thanks for reading.

Kaleidoscope NOTD

I'm busy, but I had just enough time to edit pics so I'm going to throw them up here before I get any further behind. I'm no longer wearing this, but here is China Glaze Let's Do It In 3D from the Kaleidoscope collection:

I've got hauls, I've got guest NOTD, I've got books, I've got product reviews ... what I do not have is time LOL. I'll try to fit some more posts in. Until then, thanks for reading.

NOTD: OPI DS Exclusive

OK, I had pretty much decided after wearing Desire that I wanted some more Designer Series polishes, but after wearing this color it's gone from want to need =) This polish is AMAZING. I tried, really I did, to capture it in pics, but none of these do it true justice ... here is OPI DS Exclusive:



A perfect color to make me feel better about my "short" nails LOL. No, there's really nothing wrong with this length, I think I'm about used to it already. And I don't have that nervous OMG they're so long I just know I'm going to break one any minute feeling anymore, which is a bonus.

I picked up a few polishes over this past weekend, and I haven't forgotten my intention to show you the filled drawers on the Helmers, I've just been too lazy to take pics LOL. But it's coming, hopefully this next week, along with another book update. Until then, thanks for reading.

My Short(er) Nails & Guest NOTD

OK, no need to scold me, before we even get to the pics I have to say right up front that I know they're not really short. But they FEEL short after having them so close to what would be my perfect length. What can I say, I like my nails long - although my friend told me she thought they were nearly to the point of too much. I told her well, they're not fetish-long, and she said yes they were - I said no they're not & she said well then put up a poll ... so what do you think readers? I'm assuming you're probably a long nail fan if you're hanging around here, LOL. But check out the poll at the upper right - just how long would you consider my nails?

So at this point you're probably wondering what exactly I'm fussing about. Well, it's been around a month since I gave you guys a glimpse of my nails without polish. I didn't take them down quite as much as I was planning to, but they're still considerably shorter I think. Here are some pics before & after filing today:




I was going to take my left hand even with my index finger but I just couldn't quite do it.

For Guest NOTD we have T's nails, I redid a patch for her & then did a fresh mani. This is Sally Hansen Nail Prisms in Emerald Amethyst, and I forced her to take lots of pics in an attempt to capture the duo-chome lovliness of this old polish:


I did my own nails too, but I'm now wearing a holo - and you know that means lots of pics! Too many for me to edit right at the moment, as it's already pretty late for me to be posting. So stay tuned tomorrow! Thanks for reading.
