Then i decided to cut my nails. i think that everytime i feel down because of a flare, i cut my hair or nails. so this time it was my nails, cause im growing out my pixie cut.
here im wearing Urban Outfitters Silver Holo. Which is truly Amazing. i also got the pink one. im gonna try to snatch the Green, purple and black ones too, they are worth it.

I know how you feel totally bummed after a flare---they're so disruptive, among other things. I hope you're feeling better!!!

My Dior Bird of Paradise NPs are shipping today. The mini sizes notwithstanding, even my Sak's SA was surprised that they are not full sized NPs, but she says they are gorgeous. I was sold by the swatches alone anyway.

Yes both duos are very pretty. I picked up both quints and 2 jellies, next time I will pick up one of the duos ( don't know which ! ) and the blush which is great, the Dior Addict lippies are beautiful too. Everyone says it's the most beautiful makeup collection ever I agree, Chanel is very pretty too, Guerlain looks amazing but Bird of Paradise is to die for ! The mini polish is cute, only the brush is different from the regular one I think. Those duos are supposed to be a combo hands / toes well let's do our manis and pedis as we want !

My NP ladies, I have been neglecting you! Which does at least mean I have lots of pics to share. I have been reading and loving all of the gorgeousness you've all been sharing too. First, THIS is all Buick's fault...

Then the manis...

Orly Miss Conduct

Leighton Denny Honey Pot - this has a gorgeous suede-like matte metallic finish, but without a top coat it barely lasted more than a day

Essie Where's My Chauffeur, with L'Oreal Diamond Carat on the ring finger. After I put this on I was out of work for a couple days with an ear infection, then had to work late several days to get caught back up, so I didn't have time for a polish change and I kept it on for a full week. I was super impressed - other than a couple of minor chips and slight tip wear it still looked as good as on day 1.

This week I've finally made it to purple, with Accessorize Mineral Violet. Purple is the perfect theme colour for April, as it's my wedding anniversary tomorrow, and purple was our wedding colour

OMG Jennyap----your nail wheels are so pretty and your manis look scrumptious---the turquoise and purples especially, are to die for. I totally missed out on the A-Englands and loss interest after the whole shipping debacle. I loved the A England colors though and would love to see your swatches.

Thanks for the compliments on my NP racks. They are not tall because I'm not tall

.

On your new 9-drawer Alex---AKA 'House of Jennyap's Nail Polish'. That so awesome.

HAPPY, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY

Medgal I love your racks now you have the fourth one there making them look all symmetrical! I can't reach those dizzy heights, but we did take a trip to Ikea at the weekend. I got a 9-drawer Alex, so my NPs now have a dedicated home, hurrah!

I love the eyeshadow palette---Peacock. It's so tempting but I have way too much eyeshadow. Sadly, I really need to use some of what I have before I reward myself with anymore.

Polish change-----I went from CG's Dandy Lyin' Around (White w/shimmer) to MAC's Riot Gear topped w/Dior's Crystal and gel topcoat.

[Medgal07]

HI Honi, taboo is a MUST have!

LOL...it's so pretty IRL---I can't seem to take a pic that actually shows that. I think maple syrup on your pancakes would be more healthful.

 

[MACina]

Woohoo....lucky you!

The collection has not been released here yet

Thank you! I understand about A-England, I think I'd feel the same. I still love them though and as I'm in the UK I don't have the same problems. I have to admit my NP will be sharing the Alex with plenty of other makeup - I only need 1 drawer for it right now! - but at least it's not just scattered around the house now plus I have room for a growing collection, ooh could be dangerous lol That's just one purple, BTW, just looks totally different in sun and shade.

  I LOve my chauffer in you and is that Orly color LE?? i need it. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!

Thank you! The Orly was from their last holiday collection, Naughty or Nice so yeah I guess it's LE. And I agree, you need it, it would look amazing on your nails! Re our anniversary, here's a funny thing - we bought each other the same card!! Can you believe it?

I love this lighter shade of orange.

Still on no-buy and ordered more

sands from Zoya Summer Pixies

+ yesterday the white and the green DL Staccatos! They are releasing them too early for me! My budget..

THIS is all Buick's fault...

Aye. I take full responsibility for this misfortune that hath befalleth thee, my sister in NPA. While we're at it, colour me culpable for global warming too.

So you'll skip ?

But if you have many palettes already, well I understand. Both palettes are gorgeous, and the texture is not so dry as the Croisette palettes ( 2012 ), this time it's smooth.
The most important is your polishes, great colours and great combos to do !

As you should

but I wouldn't exactly say it's a misfortune, more of umm, an affliction IYKWIM.

Very pretty mani!

Here's my latest A-England haul.



Holy Grail (new version), King Arthur, Ascalon




Dorian Gray, Camelot, Morgan le Fay. Plus a bonus swatch of Morgan le Fay over Camelot

Wow---I can believe that you bought each other the same card----that's soulmate behavior!!!!

 

[Medgal07]

Welcome home Buick. The house has been quiet & empty without you. Oh, and I KNEW you had to be single handedly responsible for global climate change---but I still love ye! Love the mani too. Are we looking at the same shade in different lighting??? It's mighty purdy!!!

Your A Englands are to die for. At some point I'll give AE another go. There are so many lovely NPs that I had selected from the brand.

Buick's back in da house!

Well, kind of. Thing is, I'm trying to finalise my PhD dissertation and the last 6 months of blissful procrastination (amongst other things) means that I have a shedload of writing to do by the end of April. And I mean a shedload. May's going to be pretty nasty too, but I'm hoping I'll be done by early June (I actually have to be done by early June lol). So I probably won't be around as much as I'd like to but I'm definitely going to check up on what you NP nuts are up to every once in a while

Yup, same polish, different lighting. It has quite a complex, and equally subtle, shimmer that the daylight pic didn't seem to capture very well. So I took another one in artificial light. I really enjoted wearing this one. It reminds me a lot of Orly Pixie Dust, which I love, but it's a lot bluer.

Oh, before I forget. Someone looks absolutely delightful in orange!

 

[jennyap]

Misfortune, affliction, or whatever the heck it is we're talking about, it sure had something to do with those beautiful AEs!

HG 2.0 is awesome. It wasn't quite what I expected, but I ended up liking it a lot more than I thought I would. Have fun with your new goodies!

Yeah, I really like HG 2. And I think Morgan le Fay will be the poor man's version of Dior Crystal!

I figured something must be keeping you busy. What's your subject?

Someone does indeed look delightful, and not just in orange NP. Someone may even have been hiding their light under a bushel

In other news, I changed my polish tonight, and it's a disaster

I put on Essie Bikini So Teeny, and it's a streaky hot mess. It seems to have reacted oddly with my top coat (Seche) so it varies in colour depending on the thickness of the TC, and of course I never get that perfectly even. I took it from bad to worse by layering BL Shambolic over it for an accent nail, and no. Just no, don't do it. I don't have the energy to change it again tonight so I will have to wear it out in public for at least one day, but I'd be surprised if it lasts beyond that. Grrrrr.
