Hi everyone :) I was planning on saying a lot in this post, about a lot of things... but it's so late I'm just not up to it. It's been a very up and down day for me. I've seen a blogger badmouthing readers and one of the companies that sponsors her, I've gotten a job, an old friend's mom died... It's been a long day. So I might not say much. Sorry.
Today (Thursday. If you didn't know already, I write my posts the day/night before) I saw that a couple of bloggers on my list were doing "Purple Nails for Caylee Anthony." It was a facebook event between nail bloggers? I don't know. I don't use facebook much, but I thought it was a great idea. My heart has been breaking for little Caylee since day one. I got very emotionally involved in the case and I think the outpouring of love this country has shown this little girl says a lot about the US as a society. I even already had my nails done when I found out about it. How strange :)
Started out with ChG Secret Periwinkle. It was an okay formula. A lot like other pastels, streaky but evens out well. You can still see a few patches, but I was covering this color so I didn't worry about it.
Next, I added one coat of Servin Up Sparkle. I LOVE this glitter. It is a lot less gooey than it's pink counterpart (Teenage Dream) and applied perfectly. I love everything about this glitter. If I order Your Royal Shiness, it may be just so I can get another bottle of this. LOVE.
Finally, I added what I was so excited to show you today. I guess it will wait until Monday since this event came up. I frankened a holo top coat! YAY! I love it. I almost didn't want to do it because my OMG holos are running a little low.... One of these days I'm going to suck it up and order that shit on ebay. I love frankening with them, but I love wearing them plain too! No more of either until I get extras. I didn't have any sun today, so the holo is kind of weak, but I'll show you a wheel of it over different colors next week.
This one is a little better. IRL you can see the glitter really well underneath. Perfect jelly sandwich. :)
Anyway, that's what I have for today. Going to start work and see how it goes..... Since it's for a friend's business :S I got so lucky there! Wish me luck, and thanks for looking!
