Deborah Lippman for True Blood - Sookie Sookie set

Hi! Hope everyone had a nice weekend :) Today I have the Sookie Sookie set DL did for True Blood... I am a TB junkie so I had to have this (got the Let it Bleed set with the lipstick as well, but passed on the minis)! pic heavy post ahead.

Human Nature - a mortal putty taupe
Fairydust - ethereal shimmer


I really got this set for Fairydust - but Human Nature here turned out to be my favorite, it's an amazing neutral! 2 coats:






I'm not sure these two were meant to be layered together (Fairydust can be opaque on it's own!) but that is how I tried it, and I love them together. 1 coat of Fairydust here over Human Nature:





really gorgeous pink-golden duochrome shimmer, it has a nice wet look like a lip gloss.

Essie - Demure Vixen

Hi! Happy Friday! I've been jobless for a whole week.. feels like 3 weeks. Not complaining, got a lot of things done. Finally got the A/C fixed today so I'm ready for summer. Not my wallet though. Turns out my unit was just clogged from using filters that were too small.. $500 mistake! Aughh! Well turns out it was a fire hazard, so I'm happy to not be going up in flames at least. I worry about if there's ever a fire near my helmer.. the whole block will explode!! lol

Anyway, I've been wearing a lot of brights lately. A palette cleanser was in order. Demure Vixen is a great one.  A very light mauve-y pink w. a flash of violet shimmer. Loved this for work as well.



3 coats in the sun


& the shade



What are your favorite neutral shades w. an edge?

Butter London - All Hail The Queen

Hi! Happy I swatched one of my new BLs before my nail got to breaking, lol. My nails are pretty long here! Alas, was not meant to be...but I will have this photo to remember them by. Shortened them all and resisted nubbing so they're not too wonked.. luckily I have a huge backlog of photos to edit haha. Enjoy my future posts of varying nail lengths. Ok they're always that way anyway.  Oh well let's continue!

I finally picked this one up. I know, everyone adores it. Never wow'd me in store in the bottle. Though I know I've seen gorgeous photos of it. I also wore it on a glummy grey day, but it's beautiful! The formula is amazing and super self leveling, as per usual for BL.



3 coats for full opacity..no sun to speak of :(


but flash will save us! look at that fine holo glitter, love it!


:)


Hope everyone's having a nice week! I totally forgot about Easter this week and found out I'm off on Good Friday so that was a good Monday surprise :)

Don't forget to enter my giveaway! Ending this weekend.
