Sally Hansen HD Opulent Cloud

Let me open with how much I love this particular polish! It is ridiculously pretty, it has a very antique-y kind of look to it, in fact if it was slightly less heavy on the purple it looks a lot like the old Urban Decay polish Chains.

This is one of the new Sally Hansen HD's called Opulent Cloud, not sure what the others looked like aside from a red shade because the display was mostly empty by the time I got round to it lol!

This is beautiful though and looks completely different in all sorts of lighting changes, the shift on it is something else, definitely worth the higher price tag for this particular HD. Plus, unlike the other HD's this one only required two coats for complete coverage and yes I did pop on Poshe on top. ^^

Indoor lighting, two coats, Poshe top.

Outdoors,cloudy.

0.. <--- kitty on the keyboard type. XD He likes to sleep on the LAN tower or the Monitor top, he took over the spots from my girl cat, the LAN tower is cold in the summer from the fans and the monitor is super warm...So now when he wants attention he drapes his arms down the front of the monitor and slides down down down til his paws touch the keyboard so I will scoop him up. He's getting on in years so I can't resist this little trick.

I fall for it at least three times a night for a cuddle.

Urban Decay Meltdown; Aion

I'm really behind in reading people's blogs and in posting just a lot of things have kind of toppled on me and need to wade back through and start enjoying the little things again. Looking forwards to catching up on everyone's blogs, I know I'm only a couple days behind, but sometimes that can feel like ages!

This polish is truly pretty though, was amazed at just how bright it is. Initially I thought it was close to one of the original polishes, but when I put it next to the bottle, this came up as lighter. Wicked pretty though I think!

Two coats again, marvelous. Poshe making another top coat appearance. This one is called Meltdown.

Two coats, top of Poshe indoors.

Outside, sunny.

Lookaway, nerdery below! Decided to give Aion a go, and my god it is beautiful. The graphics are insane. Even the music is lovely and hasn't put me off...yet. I want my wings lol. Can see one of my chars Here which is a level 8 priest, and Here" which is a level 5 Scout.

Which are opening jobs before you can unlock your advanced jobs. Cool that you can see the characters online and what they look like model wise, although the resolution is better in game. Things look gorgeous in game.

I am torn which to do more on however, because I've done in games mage like crazy and might be nice to just straight tank stuff. But hey mage is good right? Hmm, wonder when they update the online info because my Priest has a title and that isn't showing up there. Tree Hugger I believe.

There is more xp needed to advance to level nine, then there is xp in the whole of level 75 to max out buffer in FFXI. LOL! So yeah lvl even in low is a grind. Also, you have to block out Kinah (Gold/Gil/RMT) sellers upon logging in or else there is so much spam that you can't see through the chat log. Hell I didn't know if anyone ever spoke to me through all the spam.

At least I haven't run to any more queues to log on. First two nights I had it were half an hour waits for the server...first night I waited half an hour, was able to make my character then server bumped me. Was so mad lol. Haven't run into that since.

I like the quests and how it shows on the maps with markers so you don't need to log to wikis to find NPCs information, so it's fun to wander. Am really enjoying it so far. Will take me forever to advance since I still have EG commitments on FFXI so balance my fun play time and keep games being fun.

Post 100 and it's so not Lux! Jesse's Girl in Blue Moon

100th post that is craziness! Wish it was better and more chock full of goodness.

Sorry I'm so behind, been busy and the weather has been so humid that the polishes I have been wearing have either just not been drying well and chipping off before I can capture them and not been pretty and in other cases been wearing some that I've already post reviews of! ^^

A little behind on reading everyone's blogs as well, so getting back on that too!

Saw GI Joe last week! Wow, so many lulz, must preface that with, I will so be purchasing that on DVD. Destro ftw. They totally ruined my Baroness. ; ; Oh well she's still my girl. Cartoon girl. My childhood style queen lol.

Have a new tattoo also super sweet old school pirate ship, as the golden age of piracy is one of my main interests, and let me say they aren't kidding around when they talk about how the elbow area HURTS. I have quite a bit of work and nothing has ever felt as dreadful as that area, was ridiculous.

Ordered a haul of polishes, just got round to the matte Opis.

Here's Jesse's Girl in Blue Moon. This is my second go around, my first was four coats and it didn't last long, today I'm wearing it with just three and a top of Poshe and it looks amazing so far! Only and outdoors and bottle picture though because my inside lighting pictures didn't turn out and will need to retake them at home. ^^ Sorry about that.

Really is a gorgeous color, hope to get a good wear out of it this go. It looks more royal purple to me, but I love how electric it is.

Outdoor, sunlight...blistering heat lol.

Sally Hansen HD Cyber

Have a back to back post today, I didn't put it all together in case it made it too picture heavy. Here's my third going out with a Sally Hansen HD and still enamored. Yet another glow and pigment heavy polish. Also another three coater, with that weird build up at the bottom which I'm thinking is just that it doesn't play nice with Poshe. Will try the next HD with a different top coat and see if that makes a difference.

This is Cyber which is a gorgeous purple which has these amazing pinkish and bluish hues to it.

Indoors.

Outside,sunlight.

My Illamasqua polishes came and wow am I floored at them. Just blown away at the packaging alone, the shades are just...well you'll see ~.^

KO Ox

Well, I trimmed my nails to nubbins, of course today I miss the length. lol. Naturally! XD But really when the polish was off the peeling and staining wasn't pretty, it was like split ends on the nails they were due to come off unfortunately, but I did enjoy them! Also this is fun because I've a good array of dark polishes to swatch and I like how they look on my nails a shorter size, on others I like the vampy/ longer length combination but on my hand I think it looks alien! Ahh well without further adieu...Knock Out Ox!

Indoor lighting.

Outside, in the sun no less!

This is a gorgeous plummy ox blood purple. Two coats. During high school I used to dye my hair this shade, and sport a pair of doc martins in this color too. heheh.
