CG Black Diamond

Hmm, here's a snap of China Glaze's Black Diamond after two coats. It is really pretty, and not what I'd expected. It more heavily leans towards a dark gun metal grey then black, there are slight hints of blue. Really quite like it.

Am on a makeup jones today, really trying to resist the call of the tinted Sin Urban Decay Primer Potion sold at Sephora as I love the original formula so much, the tinted is being all siren songin' it.

Also, really and making goo goo eyes at Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics lip balm in Tarred. Am a fan of black sheer glosses and lippy for the way they darken. I have Lipstick Queen's lippy in Black Tie Optional, but don't want to plunk $22 for the gloss as well so I generally slap Cover Girl's Wetslicks Amazemint (mmm minty!) in Happy Hour over it. (The CG gloss is very sheer with a blue tint). Hell I slap that over Nars' Orgasm gloss as well, brings up the shine nicely and again that minty feel!

The OCC balm is just $10 comparatively. I have to say I adore Lipstick Queen's packaging on the lippy, will need to snap up a picture.

Am so looking forwards to my KO Karen to arrive. /dance!

CG Blue Sparrow, Anatometal Fauxpal Cabs

Here's a quick picture, didn't do clean up as I just painted them and thought wow, look how much it matches flashwise with an old pair of my Anatometal Bling Eyelets, which is Signity cabochon faux opal in #13. Don't think it quite shows how well they pair match up in the light. Might have to rep this pair in my current size. Which would require saving up...Still researching cams. /sigh!

This is three coats of Blue Sparrow, in pictures it looks bubbly application wise. But that is actually just the glitter, it doesn't appear bubbly IRL.

Really like the CG formula though it dries quickly and is super shimmery. The tint is called Blue Sparrow (Neon). When my sparrow tattoos were fresh the shade sans glitter is kind of close lol.

Sally Beauty Haul,Death Tar, China Glaze

Was shopping in a plaza with a Sally Beauty and couldn't resist the call of polish! A thousand horrors. Unfortunately upon going forgot the names of the Finger Paints brand polishes that I was interested in, and in person couldn't find one I was interested in over some other polishes. Mostly the haul consists of China Glaze polishes. Click on picture to see larger ^^

From left to right is...Nina Ultra Pro says G8C no real tint name,It's So Easy Rite Stripe which is sheer black with red and blue glitter, China Glaze For Audrey, China Glaze Black Diamond, China Glaze Blue Sparrow and China Glaze Strong Adhesion Base.

Tried out Amour Unique Ruby with a black base, used the Sally Hansen Four in One again and was met again with easy denting hours later, so that is definitely made of fail. The Unique Ruby though was a disappointment wasn't anything phenomenal as described, it was nice but nothing super special. Looking forwards to trying out the CG base. Finally caved and purchased For Audrey after ages and ages dithering about it. Just as gorgeous as people have swatched it.

Here's a picture I meant to post yesterday of ManGlaze's The Death Tar.

CG's Black Diamond looks very interesting, almost a gunmetal grey with what looks to be a blue sheen.

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?
