CrowsToes Bone Daddy

Hi! Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. I am currently finishing up the set up of my second Helmer, doing some polish reorganizing & watching the Big Bang Theory. Super productive :) I really need to do some purging..maybe a blog sale in the future??

ALSO, just a note for my giveaway winner... Christie! Please check your email and get back to me, if I do not hear from you soon I will assume you aren't interested and I will randomly select a runner up. :(

Okay onto the polish - Today I am posting a new indie I got this week, CrowsToes Bone Daddy. It's a mix of different sized white hex and bar glitter with iridescent blue glowing microglitter in a grey jelly base. In love with it. I have it layered here over 4 coats of O.P.I My Pointe Exactly :)

Chanel - Vertigo

  Hi! Very happy to be doing a blog post. Made it through my first week of classes and it was rough! Much rougher than expected. I expect I will settle into some sort of routine soon enough...no? Maybe not. I have 5 classes with all pretty intense syllabi. Really mad that the one elective I took for enjoyment seems to be one of the more intense with papers and assignments... fail.

 Anyway, Chanel Vertigo from the fall '12 collection is a gorgeous charcoal grey shade. I definitely saw some purple undertones on it. There's also a red shimmer in the bottle, that you will only see there. It does NOT translate on the nail unless you catch some SUPER sunlight, which I did for these pictures (as well as my camera really picked it up) I know you can barely see it in my pics anyway, but trust me that it is exaggerated. Kind of sad, but if you just look forward to it for it being a gorgeous grey creme you won't be disappointed.

2 coats. Terrifically smooth formula.

Chanel - Frenzy

 I've been on a real Chanel kick lately..not sure why, but I hope I get over it soon. I just want them all. I went so long resisting them..got one and it was all over!! Super collectible. Anyway, here is one of the new fall '12 shades, Frenzy. I would call it a taupe-y grey with lilacy pink and beige undertones, but that sounds like garbage. I do really love it though.

** did real blogger research Chanel calls it a lilac grey - hooray **

This was nice and opaque @ 2 coats. (and at $26 for a creme it better be, but I had my doubts that it would be)

and for fun... a pic of my new pals.

huggles. keep me off ebay!

China Glaze - Hook and Line

From the Hunger Games collection - Hook and Line. It's not for everyone. A strange creme/frost that is brush strokey! I do enjoy it though. It is perfectly reminiscent of grey/silvery plastic. Do you know what I am talking about? Not that I have a fondness for grey plastic but I really liked the look of this and wore it a few days :)

2 coats, in the shade.

A little strokey, but I didn't mind!

Some sun..

I definitely did not want to pick this up originally but I'm glad I gave it a shot!

Back to blogging -- Essie Armed and Ready

Hi!  I got a little sad about never having the opportunity to take pictures in the sun once winter came around and all my sun hours are spent at work.. but then I discovered the flash on my phone so I am back :) Okay.. MOSTLY I am just lazy...but I am anxious to get back in touch with Blogger and will be visiting all you wonderful ladies soon.

For my comeback swatch I decided to post Essie Armed and Ready... it's from the new 2012 Go Overboard trio, I picked this & Go Overboard up, didn't think I needed Play Date. OH BUT I DO and I am going to pick that one up this weekend.

A really nice greyed out green with a golden bronzey flash!! NEED ALL THE HIDDEN SHIMMERS. Unfortunately the flash lies here and the shimmer is quite hidden, but it's so pretty when it comes out to play!
