Deborah Lippmann - Dancing in the Sheets

  Hi! This is one of the DL's I lucked out in getting on clearance on hsn.com for $5! It was in a set of two for $10 and I couldn't resist even though I thought I had a dupe for this one. I do not. I thought ORLY Royal Velvet (aka mysterious curse) would be much closer but they're quite different. Dancing in the Sheets has a purple base and loads of pretty blue shimmer. This is 2 coats but I could have went with a third on my thumb... as you will see a good giant bald spot there lol

Color Club - Bomb-Blast-ic

  I've been on a hunt for a real NEON red... they're all pink though! When I saw this the other day at rite aid I thought it had some real potential to be actually red. It was crackle, but I will take it how I can get it! Also, my huge stash of 1 color club was begging for a buddy. Anyway, when I first applied it inside it really just looked hot pink again. When I got it outside in the sun though, it was actually red! At long last. It still has more of a twinge of hot pink than my pictures suggest but it IS red..party time.

I still enjoy some crack now and again too..why not? Here it is over Essie Marshmallow :

thumb always cracks the best. 

Do you still enjoy your crack once in a while? It's okayy!

American Apparel - Smoke Dazzle

  Hi! Happy Saturday! Supposed to get to 103 degrees today..gross...not into it. NERP. My boyfriend is at a  free outdoor concert (the dirty heads)... I was supposed to go but, 103 degrees! All those sweaty people crammed together. Sounds smelly, no? Free concerts are a mess anyway, but the weather is a good excuse to pass. I would probably pass out anyway.  Hope you all have cooler ideas in mind if you're in this heat!

 Anyway, today I have Smoke Dazzle from AA. One of their metallic polishes. It's a duochome beauty!! The  color shift in it is pretty similar to Butter London Knackered if you didn't like the holo glitter in that one. They're not dupes though.. get both. :) This is 3 coats.

most of the time it is this greenish color, but it's also grey..purple...pink..

Really love my AA polishes. I only have a few though,  I strongly dislike going in that store. I swear every time I go in there is a 13 year old yelling at her mother about how a bandeau is an appropriate top. -shudder- that is a whole other topic tho. What are your favorite AA polishes?

nOPI - Purple Yourself Together

This one was part of the spring 2012 Target exclusives. The only one I picked up... cannot resist these purple/gold polishes. I think I have at least 5 polishes similar to this lol. It's okay though, always a gorgeous combo! The formula of Purple Yourself Together wasn't great... kinda sheer and runny. This is 3 coats.

Baker Street + Stars and Stripes. Happy 4th!

  Hi! Happy Independence Day to everyone in the US!! Hope everyone has fun tonight! I'll be inside comforting the dog... lol. My community has it's own huge firework show in the park. Which would be lovely if my dog wasn't terrified :( She is not the type to get phased by even a massive thunderstorm and I am sure fireworks wouldn't bother her from a distance but they are practically in my backyard so they are super sonic loud!!! People come from all over and it's generally a huge mess. Bah Humbug much? lolll. They're still pretty  :)

 Didn't do anything too fancy for the nails... have my most favorite blue polish, nails inc. Baker Street, which could not be more perfect. Seriously I think this polish is my #1. Applies itself!

2 coats

Then I added WnW Stars and Stripes which is holo star & bar glitter and WAY too much suspension base, huge PiTA to apply!

and a bonus pic of my sweet Harper who is not feeling so patriotic :)
