Wild Card

Alright, I know i've pretty much been posting W&W polishes but they were on sale for less than a dollar so I had to stock up! I can't resist a good deal! Anyways, here's another for you. It's called Wild Card and it's a rather pretty purple shade (c'mon, who doesn't love purple nails?) but once again I'm not a huge fan of the formula. It isn't super pigmented and it had a sort of goopy texture. I think I'll add some thinner to it and see if it helps because I really do enjoy the color of this one!

And this is what I've been working on. It really didn't turn out how I wanted it to and I'm pretty disappointed :[ Maybe putting it up here will serve as motivation to put more time into things.

Hmm I have a question for you guys! Has anyone tried Orly Bonder? I read about it on Nouveau Cheap (love that blog) and I'm interested in trying it. Does it make your nail polish stay tacky?

Burgundy Frost

So the other day I wore W&W Burgundy Frost. It's a pretty color, but I wasn't crazy about the formula on this one. I'll have to give it another shot before I decide whether or not to get rid of it.

Here it is the next day after I stamped on it. I used konad IP 64.

And here is the wondrous burrito I had for lunch a few days ago! Mmm

Again, I'd like to ask you for any suggestions for my upcoming give-away! What polishes/products/shades? :]

Guppy no. 64

Like I said in my previous post, my Guppy nail polish came! And...it is amazing. Like you've probably read in other blogs, this color is impossible to really capture on camera. Heck, it's hard enough to see it properly through all the shimmer in person! No. 64 is a lovely shade. It's got a dark purple/maroon-ish base with a TON of shimmery bits. In most lights it sort of looks like a shimmery black though. The formula was excellent and I adore the bottle & brush. My only complaint in that (for me at least) it took a while to dry. I can say I will surely be buying more.

On a sad note, no new food post today. Like I said before, I've been living off of leftover soup! O.O

But I currently have brownies in the oven, so perhaps they'll make my next post :]

Lastly, I am trying to get a give-away together! I'd like to know your suggestions on what to get! Polishes, nail treatments, types of extra things, brand and shade suggestions, whatever! Please & Thanks

Rain Check

Today I wore w&w Rain Check. It's a very pretty periwinkle shade that is opaque in two coats. I think it would better on me if I was a bit more tan, but I still like it. I also got my new polish in the mail. Guppy no. 64! I'm so excited to try it out!

I made vegetable soup today for dinner. Well, if it really even counts as "making", I threw frozen veggies in a pot with tomato juice, water and spices. I got the recipe from FatFreeVegan and tweaked it a little bit to more suit my taste. My boyfriend actually liked it! There are a few things I'll switch up the next time I make it, but overall it was a success. The best part is that there are a ton of leftovers! I'll be eating healthy soup all week haha.

Oh my!

Sheesh, I have been busy the last few days! I've got about a million drawing that are due next week, an essay proposition thingymajig :P, and I just got done with two math tests! (Which I got a 100% and and 96% on :] ) Oh well, even with all the busyness college is still a blast. Anyways, you finally get to see what I stamped on my last mani. My cuticles still look awful even though I've been pampering them...I think It's all the sculpture work for 3D that's making them so yucky! :[ boo

Anyways, I found this konad pattern harder to use than the others. It was probably because I didn't use special konad polish, but oh well. I don't think I like stamping with dark colors, it's a pain to clean up.

Any tips for not getting your stamps all over your whole finger?

More W'n'W

It seems that I've been on a W'n'W kick for a while. I can't help it! I really like the formula on all of them. Right now I'm wearing Caribbean Frost. It's a really great color that makes me think of mermaids. I think I'll be doing some stamping on this one tomorrow.

Today I had a really tasty salad for lunch! I wish I would have ha some homemade dressing on hand, but italian was okay. I'm very excited about my lunch for tomorrow though! I'll be packing some nutella sandwich bites in my bento! One of these days I'll pack a real bento-style lunch, but for now my onigiri are awful :[ Hopefully it's one of those things that everyone can master in time...

Anyway, here's a survey from VampyVarnish

3. What’s on your nails? W’n’W Caribbean Frost (I love this color!)

4. What are you reading right now? Alas, nothing. I need a great book to read, any suggestions?

Mmm :]

I've been having lots of fun with my new konading stuff :] This one is with W'n'W Blue Moon and Sally Hansen Celeb City. The IP I used is #64. I like it!

I also made something quite delicious for breakfast the other day...a microwave "baked" apple! It was amazing! I read the recipe at FatFree Vegan Kitchen. I love that blog, her recipes are always so yummy!

On another note, my cuticles have been looking horrid lately! Does anyone have any good tips or brand recommendations? Please and thanks!
