China Glaze Techno Teal


Wow, these Tronica colours are my new loves.



The holo may not be OMG crazy, but it is subtle and beautiful and I can't seem to get enough of them!



Again with my unwilling assistant Pickles. I think part of the reason I love these so much is the ease with which they go on and clean up. Does that make you love a polish too? I know it makes me shy away from glitters...

Happy weekend Possums!

China Glaze Electra Magenta


Oh the pretty! I initially bought a couple of the Tronic colours, but loved them so much I went back for MORE.


They are the easiest polishes to clean up and apply.. they are like magic!


They dry so quickly. I am in love. This is 2 coats of Electra Magenta. See the love?


My unwilling assistant was way not impressed. 


Who am I kidding.. he loves the attention. Pickles says Hola!

Sinful Daddy's Girl


Squishy purple jelly with sparkles.


Ultra-violet. Jelly. 


Did I mention jelly? YIKES!


I can't remember if this was 2 coats or 3, I think 3. Gah this is pretty!


Blurry with a purpose. I've bought a ton of new polish. Lots of Tronicas, some old ChG OMGs  and random other stuff. 

It is good to be back. I missed you all possums!

I'm baaaaaaaaaaack!

My computer is back from it's journey to Mississauga (and it got to go 2x! Lucky thing.) and I have even been taking pictures while it's been gone. I'll be posting as soon as I have all my stuff back up and running (and I really have to say Windows 7 makes this waaay easier than it used to be) and my pics sorted out. Thanks for your patience. 

mwah...

Urgh


Just a little note to let any of the 4 of you who read this that I haven't fallen down the rabbit hole. I have however, had my computer crash, burn and die a terrible death resulting in the loss of all my pictures, data, e-books and knitting patterns. :( The good news? It's till under warranty, but I have to ship it away to get fixed. It was only 5 months old too.


I'll be back as soon as I have a new mani to show you. Right now I'm on day 5 of Essie Sew Psyched. Not a chip in sight! I'm working from a wee netbook so have to do some work arounds.

Have a gorgeous weekend.. and back up your data. LFMF.

Orly It's Not Rocket Science, OPI Black Shatter


I just wanted something easy and shiny and green. 


How I love this colour. Swampy, glittery all things good. 


But this? This is amazing. It looks like REAL ZOMBIE SKIN!!!!


I think I might love this stuff even more horizontally applied.

7 random things about me? 
-I have a Horror Movie A Day Blog where I am trying to watch a horror movie everyday for 2011. I love me some horror movies!
-I eat the same thing for breakfast (and sometimes lunch) everyday. Plain yogurt with Holy Crap cereal and some vanilla bean paste and Splenda. I live on the edge I tell you.
-I have Fibromyalgia. It sucks. But I am really thankful it didn't come when my kiddo was young. I can't imagine having a little one feeling this shitty all the time. YIKES..
-I am religious about sunscreen. And moisturiser. I regularly get mistaken for 10 years younger than I am, because I HATE THE SUN. It burns us my precious.. well us pale ones anyways.
-I have 9 tattoos. 1 one my chest and 8 on my arms. The ones on my arms are symmetrical on each arm. I feel the need for balance. Stars, birds, diamonds, yarn on my right, a cupcake on my left. I am a tattooed lady.
-I love my dogs like they are my kids. In fact Pickles (my 3 year old dog) shares a birthday with my 18 year old son Jake! He loves the dogs too. So does my husband. I LOVE DOGS!
-I love being in a house full of boys. I get boys, I understand them. I used to be the only girl where I worked for a while and it was the most fun ever!
