That's Just Grey-t

Hey there kids!! (Don't worry, I call everyone kid, regardless of their years) So the Bad Religion concert las night was PUNK-tastic. I had a blast, and got a rad t-shirt that earns me dirty looks when I wear it. (Google Bad Religion images, you'll see why) Today was a busy day- I went and tried on (and bought) the bridesmaid dress for the wedding I'm going to be in in May, and it was surprisingly VERY flattering. (the color will be a different story- Guava is not a color that should be in a redhead's vocabulary. (or wardrobe). After that, I helped a good friend paint his bedroom- Ground Cumin is the color, and it turned out fantastic. He was smart not to question my interior design skills. :-P I love picking out paint colors for people, perhaps one day I'll have my own house and can do it for myself!! I managed to squeeze in a nap in there, which was great, too.

Today's nails are simple, but I really like them, and despite the beginning of my experience with butterLondon (took 5.5 weeks to get my polishes due to Paypal marking the order as complete, and no one returned emails from BL), I am 100% in love with the one polish I've tried out of the 3 I bought... Billy No Mates! It applied smoothly, and only took 2 coats to be opaque.



I used 2 coats of butterLONDON Billy No Mates as base, with 1 coat of Essie Matte About You, then for the moons, I used about 8,000 coats of Urban Outfitters Grey 1, it was pretty hard to get opaque and even. For the ring finger moon, I used American Apparel Berry. I also used American Apparel Berry for the 'stitching' on the grey moon fingers, and Urban Outfitters Grey 1 for the stitching on the ring finger.

How is everyone's weekend going? I get to wake up early for class, blargh. :-D My weekend off last week because of Spring Break felt nice. :)

OPI - DS Original

Hello dear reader! How is everyone doing? I had the most awesome day yesterday, Daphne from Nailswatches, Michelle from TheLacquerFiles and myself went nail polish hunting. It was so much fun! We visited a wholesale with lots of ChinaGlaze, and within expectations we all kinda went crazy ha! Anyway, for today I have another purple holo to show you! This is Original from the Designer Series by OPI, I don't think the color is as jaw-droppingly gorgeous as Color Club's Wild At Heart, which I showed you last week, but it's still pretty steamy, and definitely more holographic as well. The holographic effect is a bit scattered, not as dense as the Nfu Oh holos for example, and that's just how I like it. Application was alright, nothing outstanding, 3 coats quickly dried to a perfectly smooth surface. What I like about these holos by OPI, it that they're quite shiny, so you can easily wear them without a top coat. Actually, they say these polishes from the Designer Series are infused with Diamond Dust. This is supposed to "reflect light in an explosion of brilliance", well I don't know if it's the diamond dust, but it's pretty sparkly. And diamonds are a girl's best friend, right? Thanks for stopping by!

Stash Pics!

Ik heb niet alleen te weinig tijd gehad om te bloggen maar ook om mijn nieuwe aankopen op te ruimen en gebruikte lakjes terug te zetten dus het was een chaos in huis met overal nagellak.
Tijd om eens te reorganiseren dus!

De Konadlakjes moeten nog een plekje vinden en de lade met treatments en topcoats moet ook nog uitgezocht maar dan is de voorjaarsschoonmaak klaar! Nagellak die ik niet mooi vind of die ik wil swappen, frankenen of weggeven is er nu allemaal uit gefilterd dus het is weer aardig overzichtelijk.

Mijn stash was geordend op kleur maar ik werd een beetje hysterisch van al die verschillende flesjes door elkaar dus ik probeer het nu maar eens op merk.


I did not only have too little time to blog but also to put away my newly acquired pretties and the polishes I used so my house was in chaos. Time to reorganise!

The Konad polishes still need to be put away and the drawer with treatments and topcoats still has to be sorted out but then spring cleaning will be over! Polishes I didn't like or that I want to swap, franken or give away are all filtered out so everything is nice and organized.

My stash was organised by colour but all those different bottles mixed up made me kind of crazy so I'm trying organising by brand for now.

Zoya, Orly, Art de Lautrec, Viva la Diva, Misa, Essie and Catrice and the empty slot has now been filled with 12 Layla's

Junkdrawer with Milani, Glam Girl, Depend, Diamond Cosmetics, BarryM and a couple of frankens in the back

China Glaze, P2, Nubar, BB Couture, Nfu Oh and RBL

OPI, $OPI, Gosh, Cheeky Monkey, one Models Own and a lot of Essence

Totale schade: 243 na ongeveer 60-70 eruit gegooid te hebben. Hoeveel lakjes heb jij?

Total damage: 243 after tossing out around 50-70. How many polishes do you own?
