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.

Urban Decay FBomb Polish

Blargh am sick! >.< Not fun. Hope everyone had a good Talk Like a Pirate Day yesterday. Wahey. But of course for me, it is always talk like a pirate day, and I don't just mean my sailor mouth which I dutifully keep clean and ladylike in my type! lol

Ahh, must profess my love of Urban Decay's FBomb polish, been wearing it for two days and I haven't even had a bit of tip wear and from a nice creme-y red like this, is something to boast about for me. Usually I'm prone to nicking early, but so far this has been a dream.

Such a gorgeous pin up red, classic but it isn't a drastic red, it is a touch muted so it isn't so in your face and blood red. Two coats with a top of Poshe to seal. Sorry about the pictures, this set and the last haven't been all that great, I suppose because I haven't felt well I just have taken them and didn't check them as well I normally would have and they've suffered. Clean up also looks bad here too. So sorry.

Indoors.

Outdoors,sunlight.

Nerdery time.

Uhhhh! You can finally Get Nintendo DSi's in Pink! OMG. Do want. Really badly. When I was in Niagara all four of the boys had their DSi's with them (and I couldn't find my DS, it went missing!) but they did all let me have a go on theirs at various times. Awww! The only bugger about that is, I want to nab myself a PS3 finally after waffling and playing D's. What to do. What to do. Both are a chunk of change so it is really a tough choice.

Also Aion! Looks great. But...does it just look foxy and have that WoWness to it? I want to try it, but I've also joined an EGLS and don't know how beholden I am to that play wise. Finally got round to A Moogle Kupo D'Etat yesterday, and hopefully will finish it tonight or tomorrow on FFXI. Still haven't bothered with ACP waiting on a friend to start that (well have started first two bits), would rather of done that for the body piece than Kupo D'Etat's head piece. But oh well.

Butter London Chimney Sweep

Here's another of my Butter polishes, this time it is a super shiny grey called Chimney Sweep, it is very nearly black but falls short of it and it is shiny once its on, but I do have a top coat of Poshe on, so I must add that disclaimer. There are three coats of Chimbley on ^^. The outdoor picture you can really see the shine. Sorry not the best of clean up here. The formula on this one was great, I could have gotten away with just the two coats.

Indoor lighting.

Outdoors, overcast.

Have some lovely Illamasqua" polishes on their way to me that I am very excited about. ^^ Like a lot of people Phallic was one of my purchases. So gorgeous. Check out this post @ Bring on the Bling showing just how beautiful it is.

Close on the nerdery again. @E3 they released the trailer for FFXIV, the New MMORPG coming next year and look hi rez choco! How cute. Looks hefty on the same looking hume guy. ZOMG. But still. Have enough to get through in XI, but can't say I'm not curious about XIV Oh, yes trailer. Where's the taru?!!! Embedded below.

Oh the Official XIV site is up with screenies & trailer @ http://finalfantasyxiv.com

Revlon Black Lingerie/Amour Brilliant Ocean Blue

I decided to retry the suggested french mani with the black tips with Amour's Brilliant Ocean Blue with Revlon's Black Lingerie, and it is so pretty. Turned out much lovelier than the Rainbow Hologram. Took a picture indoors and out, couldn't capture how nice this actually was. The metallic blue it turned the tips is so shiny and shimmers light blue as well in the light.

And outdoors.

Oh when I was going on about FFXI yesterday forgot to mention about how much I dig the RDM JA Composure, finally when they got round to giving RDM one it was decent. Eventually I'll post some of my geeky but cute screenies, if I can find em. lol.

FFXI Anni Ring Time. Stats Ahoy. Geekery Inside.

So it is time that the Anniversary XP band is released, joy and rapture. Not sure which job I'll bung the uses on, either finish out WHM or ease the pain of BLM lvling with. But with the mog giving you your band you also get your yearly updated stats of various things like...

KO'd : 1260 deaths. I'd of thought it'd be more with Campaign/Besieged and my nasty habit of getting ganked purposely by Blackbeard fishing. That's over the course of four years.

Battles fought: 49954. Although I did Campaign so I'm sure it's gone over since I reckon the numbers go per mob.

Defeated: 35312 of the above mobs. Wahey.

GM calls : 3. How helpful were they. 0. Sorry. How many I've seen in 4 years. 3! Sick gear though worth a look should people be shouting one is around lol.

Frightening chat frequency number I'm not even going to show, etc.

Got to 17 fishing, not on purpose, am fishing up nebs like crazy for money as I don't have the patience to farm my new tier two En spells or the rest of my new WHM spells. Plus I plunked a shazz load on a HQ Dark staff upgrade...finally because I'm cheap with the gil. Farming is the devil. Might have to sell my blau. Naaah.

KO Liberty! DS(i) fun

KO Liberty is here, and is just lush! Really does look like that green over copper patina.

Sorry for the hasty semi clean up, just wanted to post how gorgeous this was. Less haste, more speed. XD

This is three coats, and is extremely quick to dry. Keep having to peek at this mani, really love the combination of color and flatness.

They have one called Ox out now, and it's my dream been hoping for an Ox blood colored polish and for a flat one at that. How can I resist. Oh what to do.

My nephews popped over last night with their DSis, they traded in their DSes apparently you get a good deal of cash on trade in for a DSi. Anyways, we were messing in Pictochat chatting and they can send and write/draw to mine in a rainbow which is so cute. Wonder if they can in individual colors as well. Looks like the DSi is worth upgrading to, but am going to wait to see if they release another wave of colors, as it is just blue and black right now...don't want to surrender my pink/Boba Fett number just yet.

Sounds of the Universe!

Sorry no polish on this post, am wearing Revvolution again (I posted a pic and edited it out of this post, having forgotten I'd posted a swatch of Revvolution). Will post tonight a new mani maybe! Really enjoying Revvolution.

Can't believe it is weds. feels like a monday. Hmmmm.

Been playing Pogo Bowling at Pogo, don't know what possesed me to give Pogo a go, but it's been fun. Lots of distracting games. Reminds me of the addiction I had to Gamesville's bingo during insomnia spikes. Must evade hot bingo action. lol. XD

Anyways!

Haven't had luck finding the new Revlon scented polish collection. There's two I definitely want. Maybe three. Must show restraint! Wish Anna Sui still made polishes, I loved the packed glitter and the rose scent. All of the Anna Sui line had that rosey scent. Miss those loads.

Oh! Yesterday I got my mitts on Depeche Mode's Sounds of the Universe download, Amazon says my box set is otw to me now. Squeeeeeeeeeeee! The album is brilliant! Martin Gore ftw! <3 <3 <3

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

CC Volt of Light, Playstation woes

Ugh, preface this picture with the fact that I dinged my index fingernail on the camera no less. So smudge ahoy, decided on wearing DS Fantasy for the day (first time wearing it and ahh it's gorge!) instead or I'd of fixed it for the picture. Sorry for that laziness.

This is Color Club Volt of Light, really into these violently neon shades of late. This is two coats, it does have drag marks and tends to pool on this particular shade. I think a third coat and it'd have been perfect. Think for me this would be more of a toenail shade. Doesn't suit me really.

Was at the Toys R Us today and managed to back down from getting my own PS3. Will continue to have that cash separate and maybe next month cave. It is such a cash plunge when you buy new consoles, games aside even not even thinking of headsets etc.

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!

Nars Orgasm, Thanks Ladies! DSi,'Mania

First off I want to say a big blushing thank you to two lovely ladies, Nixxy (Nixxy's Nails) and Brooke (Getcha Nails Did) for sending a shout out to my blog here. I am so flattered and my sincere hope is that I can provide a blog that is as humorous and swatch filled hotness as yours are ladies. *^^* Thank you again!

Orgasm time. Well, Nars time anyways. This is two coats of Orgasm which is as lovely as the blush and gloss are. For complete coverage three coats is in order, which I think I'll slap on because...well you saw the state of my nails rocking sheer. Not good at the moment lol. Plus I broke my index fingernail which is vexing, because the second I break one I like to file them all to like length and they just got longish. Blast!

Oh check out this cute hot pink and turquoise glitter nail polish atHot Topic, I always like to nab their polishes as they are cheap and not a bad formula, sometimes the handling leaves a bit to be desired. But look how cute that is.

Hmm, I know several people who are champing at the bit to get their mitts on The Nintendo DSi. Mind you it looks amazing with all the new features, and I certainly do want one...down the road. Hopefully there will be a pink one in future. Available at midnight, in blue and black. Looks fun as all hell. Don't know if I need one per sae, my regular DS is wonderful, besides I imagine I can pinch one from friends to try out. I hope. Pretty sure my nephws are all about it. Here's my hot nerdery pink DS. Replete with dog chew marks in corner and Boba Fett. XD

Talking of nephews one painted his a vibrant blue today, he's a Jeff Hardy fan, and digs painting his nails on the week-ends :) We are getting Wrestlemania tom. at the house so it will be all kinds of loud and tacky tomorrow. There will be much carbo loading in the form of pizza and whatever junky stuff we can find. Should be a wild time had by all.

Was able to get a June appt. with Mark at Spilt Milk! Which is awesome considering his wait times! Very excited, one of my sisters just got another piece by Mark thursday and it's gorgeous! Plus my brother's sleeve is on the wall there, which will be fun to see.

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.

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.

Stuff. Order Galore!

Hmm, nail polish wise ManGlaze's The Death Tar, is less chippy than Knockout Cosmetics. I like the both though as there is a noticeable tint difference. So I thought I'd put a clear coat on The Death Tar, since there have been swatches out there showing it to be glossy with a rainbow sheen. Unfortunately that wasn't my experience, I got a just a bit of silver glimmer and it looked sort of muddy, so I'll stick to it as the lovely matte shade as is meant to be. Love how quickly it dries. Wearing two coats of Fuggen Ugly. Really a nice shade, good aged metal look. Would love a matte polish in a blood red shade, that'd be incredible...or ox blood. Foxy!

Springy again today, after that weird snow last night. Fluffy flakes were flying everywhere, but didn't stick. Was pretty to watch.

Dollhouse is getting saweet! Can always watch it @Hulu online as well. Talking to you Bird!

I miss D and the snarky comments made during Rainbow 6:Vegas 2 lol.

Went on a polish spree, bought three from Barielle, it was buy two get one free so I went for it...coming my way is Date Night,Decadence and Berry Blue! Also big old handful of polishes from Trans Design which should bring about some dark greens,more black or blackened shades,rainbow holo and more. As well as Amour Unique Ruby after seeing a post about it on Getcha Nails Did.
