Midnight on the Midway Polish

Ladies, I'd like your help, how can I make this a better blog, more pictures? More diverse colors? More verbose? Less so? Any suggestions or requests to grow this blog I'd love to take! Looking into getting a better camera down the road as well.

Today is Black Phoenix's Claw Polish in Midnight on the Midway. It is a metallic grape that sometime can cast pinkish in the light. Very silvery in bottle. As you can see I've come to the end of my corrector pen sadly! Need to pick up another quick snap. This is two coats with a top coat of Poshe.

Indoor lighting.

BPAL Embalming Fluid Polish

Here's me wearing BPAL's Embalming Fluid, a lovely glow in the dark polish with iridescent glitter. This is three coats of Embalming Fluid with a top coat for shine. Was impossible to get shots that showed how pretty this was, and even more difficult to secure that glow in the dark shot. lol. It is available at here at the Trading Post. Claw polish, wahey!

Annnnnnd in the dark...

Makes for a wonderful top over any polish for a bit of glitter and glow in the dark action. I highly recommend BPAL'a polish, especially Destroying Angel.

Now I must pop outside since there is actually both sunny skies and warm breezes happening. Well at least for a few minutes before I turn pinker.

ManGlaze Polish ,BPAL Tray...

Here's ManGlaze's Fuggen Ugly. Have to say, it's foxy as all get out. A lovely flat gunmetal grey. I think it's perfect for the this length of nails, when my nails are short like this I love a strong shade.

Oh! My BPAL haul came yesterday. The Labbies are crazy fast these days. Could hardly believe it, that they've arrived. Today I'm wearing Velvet Unicorn, and I love the label art. It smells what I thought Dirty Pillowcase was going to smell. I'm smell like yummy sugaaaah!

Talking of BPAL, I made another BPAL tray, lacquering various BPAL inserts onto a basic wood serving tray. This one has a two of the Carnival Diabolique tickets one front side and one reverse a long with some of the postcards. Click on both for larger pictures if you'd like to see it more clearly. ^^

Here's the first one I made from a couple years ago.

Would love to make more, but the shop near me doesn't offer the same sort of lacquer so I need to look around for some.

I want my own PS3, playing it is so fun, I need to commit to this console. XD

BPAL update! FFXI

Wahey, it's BPAL's The Salon: Velvet Paintings. Scroll down towards the bottom of the page. This update is fantastic I snagged myself Velvet Clown,Velvet Pink Kitty, Velvet Tiger and Velvet Unicorn! Just read those descriptions, they are going to be phenomenal!!!

Just mini squee, I'm sure there was something I meant to write about or some hot polish action. It will come to me...eventually ^^

Am downloading my FFXI, post maintenance/Crystalline Prophecy update. New stuff for RDM and WHM. Been waiting on it! More En spells!

Hello Kitty Lippy, The Death Tar, 13

I think my fav. part of the MAC Hello Kitty lippy packaging is the adorable stamp on the lipstick itself. This is a tube of Cute-Ster.

How saweet is that?

Also here's a shot of Man Glaze's The Death Tar.

Have a cold, super enjoyable. :/ Arrgh!

My bottle of March's 13 arrived yesterday from BPAL, now that is fast turnaround. This one is very spicey as opposed to the brown sugar from the last 13 release, was that January? My Chaos Theory: Snake Oil series came as well. OMG it smells of Snake Oil and moss, it is extremely earthy. Really like it and am curious as to how the Dorian based one smells. Must look up the reviews on BPAL.ORG.

Orly, BPTP's Polishes

Hmm, taking the blame off Essie's Mesmerize, I think it does need a longer drying time but I think the problem with all the denting may lie with the new base I used as I had problems with it to a much lesser scale when applying Orly's Love Each Other. The base I'd used Sally Hansen Complete Care Four in One extra moisturizing. Think I'll stick with my oldy but goodie base.

This is three coats of Love Each Other. Didn't half like it on, was sheerer than expected and is much more dramatic in bottle. Plus it show's the state of mass staining despite the buffing. Too much dark the past two months showing over despite the base coats. Was able to reshape them to a much nicer shape. Amazing what a picture shows as opposed to what you see. So sorry for the state of them. Sheers are a no go atm! That index nail before, Woof! But I think Love Each Other would look great on a black cream as a top coat.

Thought I'd post a picture of BPAL's BPTP's Claw Polish . Click on the thumb below to get a full size picture.

These are great, a cute feature on some of the newer bottles is if you breath on it or it gets fogged up the Triple Dagger logo appears on the sides. The polishes are really lovely and the tints in order of picture are from left to right: Embalming Fluid which is a glow in the dark polish with fine iridescent glitter, Midnight on the Midway, Mmm. Moriarty, Blood Countess, Morgause, Lady Macbeth, Destroying Angel, Opium Poppy and Maiden.

The polishes are a lovely formula, three free and all. I reach for these often. Destroying Angel is such a lovely vampy dark brown. A picture doesn't do it justice.

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.
