Creative Turquoise Tint,Lauder Midnight

Wanted to give sheer another go, regardless of my nails having hot staining action from the glut of darker shades I normally wear. This is two coats of Creative's Turquoise Tint which is still sheer, a third would probably rock full coverage. The name is misleading however, I don't see turquoise at all it is a pastel green shimmer. Really gorgeous IMHO but quite far from turquoise. It does look it in bottle though, certainly worth the purchase. ^^

Got my email notice that my bottle of Karen from Knock Out Cosmetics is on the way. Squee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Excited +1!

Seche Vite Restore'd an ancient bottle of Estee Lauder Perfect Finish Nail Lacquer in Midnight within a inch of it's life (with aide of clear polish). This came out around the same time that the original release of Chanel's Vamp if I recall correctly. It's a blackened shimmering purple and it was impossible to get a good shot of it. This was one of my sister's fav. polishes so hoping to surprise her with it. Worked well tried it on, but didn't think to take a shot.

Peppermint Patti cuteness; IS Anatometal Comparison

My Peppermint Patti came yesterday. It is so cute, very Maloxxy. Am looking forwards to trying it on! Sorry for the askew picture it is sat on my green lan tower and it isn't flat but I like the way it picked up the green. Bet this will be a perfect pedi shade.

Have tried the Seche Restore on a couple of my relic UD bottles. It seems to only want to do the job on glitter shades. Although Road Stripe is coming up nicely! But it is probably because of the forumla (UD), because I imagine Seche Restore will probably be brilliant with other brands however. Worked really well on a couple Candy Man's and a Hard Candy. Seche Restore rocks bells for glitter shades.

Wearing Berry Blue, by Barielle today and it's foxy. Love the heavy pigmenting! But I just noticed that Essie Mesmerize matches my dress I'm wearing right now perfectly. lol. That's the trouble with such a hot amount of incoming. So hard to choose. Gah. Real camera soon with proper pictures. Honestly.

Speaking of shockingly bad pictures, here are two. Which will be repped poste haste when...words...camera. Oh yes, where was I? Oh comparison of IS's gemmed eyelets next to Anatometal's Bling gem eyelets. These are both 7/16ths. Both are single flared, my ears are wicked bitchy and double flare is just not comfortable. The IS gemmed eyelets are only offered in Single Flare, at least @Steel Navel. Don't know if this is the case elsewhere. Anatometal Blings you can purchase SF or DF and custom wearable Steel or Titanium @BAF.

Alrighty the IS ones have about a 3/8 wearable (you can also choose a wearable of 5/16) I purchased the 3/8. It is a little bit longer as you can see as the pair of Anatometals is shorter in height and has a more pronounced saddle before the wearable.

Here's the head on; the gems set in the IS pair are 2MM in Water Opal, which is more of an almost Aurora Borealis gem without the gold foil-ish tones. The gems in the Anatometals are 2MM and are Faux Opals. The IS seem to be a little wider than Anatometal's 7/16ths/11 MMs sizing and the channel setting is thicker on Anatometal's as well.

Oh and the IS pair are Titanium whereas the Anatometal Bling's are 316LVM ASTM F-138 Implant Grade Steel. I've not tried on the IS pair yet, but upon looking at them I think my loyalty shall remain with my beloved Anatometal Blings collection. Yes I was swayed by the shiny heh. Water Opal how dare you! Shame. Shame! XD heheh. Also pet peeve the O-rings that came with the IS pair were so tight, I think they were for a 00G. lol. But that's easily remedied. I've O-Rings floating around a go-go! Probably people dig a tighter O-Ring size, but I like the slightly looser so I don't constantly rot my manicure. As I did a few minutes ago unlocking my door. Woof!

Polish Ahoy. Or at least some!

Alrighty, finally have a picture (hot grainy camera phone action!) of my collection, albeit partial, there are still some in storage containers and of course the fantastic stuff that's incoming! Wahey! The picture is pants, but you can see the first two and a half rows showing my old Urban Decay and Hard Candy/Candy Man collection! Most of the Hard Candy still applies like a dream. Blech the picture cuts off a little to fit the page layout.

Found a nail polish thinner that I had to resurrect some UD polishes, but luckily I didn't go hoss and do a bunch. Usually I look at ingredients, unfortunately not this time as it was ridiculously full of acetone. Sigh. So my S&M polish is this gross white chalk now. However it did revive Twisted Sister to perfect consistency. But now I have Seche Vite Restore Thinner on the way, which I'd read about on Scrangie. It is a great post too, look how she was able to restore a clumped up dry bottle of L'Oreal Bijou Crystals polish. I mean that thing looked gone!

Just hoping it can restore my Asphalt or a decrepit Frostbite!

My nephews both dig the ManGlaze shades. One is sporting Fuggen Ugly right now! Heheh.

Joint birthday thing today! Should be fun. ^^

Again another reminder to head to Hipster,Please! to pick up Optimus Rhyme's TransfORmed! Huzzah Dub Cyber!
