Glamour with Nfu Oh 52, DS yammering.

I really am fond of DS Glamour, it is just such an amazing shade, never mind the holo! But I wanted to make it extra shiney so I added a coat of Nfu Oh 52 which lent it a more violet shade with the infamous chunky glitter. That pro wide brush though, it is just as fiddly as the Sally Hansen Insta-Dry one imho.

Saw an advert about trading in old DSes can fetch seventy dollars off the new DSi. Ayii temptation. Grrr argh! Don't really need it. Think other thoughts, like nail polish thoughts or saving up for aforementioned PS3 console. Or bill thoughts. Probably the latter. XD

Nfu Oh 50, Camera researching,FFXI

I really like Nfu Oh's formula, finally got around to trying one out. It is impossible to catch all the flash of tints. Truly a rainbow of chunky glitter yet it doesn't feel clumpy on the nail when dried. The pictures show two coats of Nfu Oh 50, over a base coat of Revlon's Black Lingerie 919 which is a nice basic black cream. Sorry for the lack of clean up on my nails in the shots.

Researching all manner of digital cameras, it is hard with so much variety from which to pick, but dutifully reading reviews right,left and center as to make the best choice. Would appreciate any and all suggestions. Refuse to be swayed by pink casing to a degree. Am a sucker for pink when it comes to my gadgets, from my phone to my DS to my old lan tower and laptop. XD

A new online expansion pack is coming for Final Fantasy XI: Online, it is called A Crystalline Prophecy. Details, if you can call it as much are available at POL's site. The expansion is available for advance purchase and will go live early April. New armour, with some customizable stats apparently. It is going to be a bitch to register if it's anything like Wings of the Goddess' expansion registration process was. Server pounding wahey. The new base armour doesn't seem fantastic for my WHM, or RDM really for that matter. Suppose I should pound out some of the other jobs. Still want a Nagerling for DRK, if I properly lvl it past my Sky sub for Chainspell>Stun.

More info is available about this expansion on AllaK.

Group Shot of the aforementioned polish haul; UD Gloss

Here's all of my incoming polishes, should hold me off for a dog's age. Forgot to grab China Glaze Gussied Up Green for the shot, just didn't see it. Oops. Click on the image to see a larger full sized picture instead of the condensed/shortened thumb. ^^

Need to make a different layout so as to not need such small thumb pics.

Watched Twilight last night, quite enjoyed it. Was surprised didn't think I would do all that much. Rather liked the Bella character as portrayed in the movie via the character in the books.

Feria root dye time tomorrow. Excitement. Hair dye! *boing*

The new Pocket Rocket Lip Glosses by Urban Decay. I'm not sure whether I am grossed out or like wahey over the packaging. Remember having novelty pens not unlike these when I was much younger. 8 different shades and subsequently different menfolk to choose from in a dressed and lesser so state. Good gimmick or bad?

Happy St. Patricks. New MAC Sugarsweet. Polish Incoming Joy!

Right, first off happy St. Patrick day for those who observe it.

Had an amazing joint b-day party with Bird. Super yummy vegetarian burritos at Sam Diego's. Mmm! Fun with Peanut. A great time had by all! I was given some amazing books, that I can't wait to pore over! Oh oh oh annnnnnnd!

MAC Hello Kitty hotness! Powder in Tahitian Sand, lippy in Cute-Ster and an eyeshadow palette in Lucky Tom! I love the pink glitter embedded in the cases, it's so cute and the saweet Hello Kitty herself on the lippy with a psychedelic pattern dress. Thank you Birdy! <3

The new MAC Sugarsweet collection is gorgeous. Very springy shades indeed. Polish wise Pepperment Patti has me excited, and is a must have. I do have Seasonal Peach and while the color is gorgeous, the application on it and the way it worked on my skintone...blech. Quite a letdown that one was for me.

Oh my polish haul came, altogether amazingly. A deluge of polish right,left and center!

The Nfu Oh bottles do not disappoint, they truly are the most adorable bottles. With the lace up molded corset, with the bow and bustle on the back and glass, cute flower on the front with filigree designs and the...boobs heh. Truly is a sweet little design. The shades though, I can not wait to try on. Even in the bottles there is so much color play and shift. I'm already in love. Brought were 50,51 and 52. Suspect more shall be in my future.

As for the Shades by Barielle, must say the boxing was a bit excessive giant box for just three polishes inside. The colors though. Made of win! Am wearing Date Night, since it is St. Patrick's and a nod to green isn't remiss in my otherwise all black outfit today. Application was fantastic, really could have gotten away with one coat, no dragging or brush marking. Tried to take a camera pic of the polish on, but it just isn't going to cut it, need to replace my old camera still. I have a lot of greens, Date Night is really stand out however. I also got Berry Blue and thanks to the buy two, get one free I received Decadence which is gorgeous but am dubious to how it will look on my skintone. To me it looks like it might have a good deal of a yellow undertone, but of course can't really tell how that will translate until it is on. Hoping it looks good, because it is striking and bright.

Also a bottle of Creative in Turquoise Tint, which looks like it will be an amazing sheer if done with a light hand, or a nice jelly full coverage. What all is next, hmmm...Four Amour polishes: Rainbow Hologram, Rain Glitter, Brilliant Ocean Blue and Unique Ruby, which I can't wait to try with a base of black polish.

Two Opi shades Yoga-ta Get this Blue and DS Fantasy. Two Orly, Goth and Prisma Gloss Gold which looks absolutely fascinating. Lastly, New York Summer in Class Act and Essie in Mesmerize. If the sun comes out I'll try and get a group shot on the phone. Such a huge influx of polish. Boing! Boing! *call19* (FFXI nerdery!).

Oh and another birthday present...

To quote MC Chris, 'Yo momma is a bitch-I'll see you in the Sarlacc Pit!' Fett's Vette. Wahey. <3 me some Boba Fett.

Possible Buffy MMO? BPAL 13, Polish

I was reading a post at Slay Alive.com that there is (post is in the Figures and Collectibles sub forum) a Buffy MMO in the works! I've been playing FFXI since late 05 (although can't seem to stay connected due to some Comcast hijinks of late! Grrrr) am a big fan of MMORPGs, save WoW cause I just couldn't get well into it at all. A Buffyverse! Can't even begin to squee about how wicked exciting that would be. Oh lord ^^

Would pay a monthly for the game for sure, hell I'd drop ol' XI in a heartbeat in favour. Hope this is true, wonder if it would be all Sunnydale style or more in the vein of post Chosen season 8? Hmm, season 8ish would be very interesting Slayers a-plenty! No matter where it falls time line wise, this could rock bells as a MMO! Wishing for the best graphics portion as well if it is indeed happening and of course character customization which is something XI lacks save for a few variants on the same base chars. Basically a couple hairdo's and two choices of tints I think it is.

Finally I'll be able to try some of the gorgeous Nfu Oh shades, I purchased 51,52 and 60 via Fabuloustreet.com. Now, I'm going to have to behave as there is quite a bit incoming and spending like this needs to be reigned in. ^^

Oh and of course it being friday the 13th a new incarnation of 13 is available at BPAL! Am madly in love with February of this year's 13, the brown sugar note is divine. Plus ahoy the new Chaos Theory V: Recursive Self-Similarity V4: The Snake Oil Series. There are also bases of Dorian,O and Penitence. Gorgeous one and all. I can't get enough of Snake Oil though (like the hoarding of Boomslang,Lilith Victoria and Western Diamondback in particular) so I can't wait to see what randomness pervades!

Grrr why aren't those L'Oreal Star Magnet polishes available here? Not only is there a bunch of shades other than the two (one was Europe exclusive) Lancome releases but the price is so much better. Sigh.
