inordinate fascination with oneself; excessive self-love; vanity. All while high on acetone.

Biggest Giveaway I've ever seen!
Wow!
Speaking of giveaways, I've got something planned for you guys in celebration of my blog's 100+ followers. I've been pretty sick lately and not up to blogging. Hopefully, I am on the upswing.

Fresh Air Fund, nothing to do with nails, everything to do with giving a kid a break
Recently, I was contacted by Sara Wilson of The Fresh Air Fund about sharing a way you can help a kid enjoy a vacation away from the city. You can donate or offer to be a host family depending on where you live. It sounds like a really great experience and a good cause. I'm seriously considering hosting a child in 2012.

Swatches
Borrowed this idea from a fellow MUA'er. I hot glue toe nail tips onto popsicle sticks. This is a few Zoya, a few Essie and almost all OPI. I have a lot of painting ahead of me.
Essie Better Together
Part of Essie's latest bridal collection for 2011. I like it! It is pretty even after 3 coats. A little sheer, I wish I'd used something under it to keep my discolored tips from ruining the look.
What do you like to use as "underwear"?
Dot Art FAIL
Not very happy with this one. Too many colors I think. Don't even recall what I used. Mostly Nubar Pastels and China Glazes spring collection from 2010. That grey polish is fantastic, though. Its SH Xtreme Grey Area. Love it!
Zoya Marley
Pretty, pretty color. Love the result. Getting it on the nail isn't as easy. The formula was goopey and thick. I got some bubbles on the left hand, too. Zoya and bubbles seems to be a reoccurring theme for me.
Essie Body Language
This polish is awesome! I'm very happy I finally bought it. It applies great (3 coats) and looks great! There's something so edgy and fresh about these sorts of colors. Fashionable without being flashy.
Zoya Nikki
This polish was just eh. It just has that mauve-grandma look. It has a subtle green flash in it, but not enough to make it exciting.
China Glaze BFF
Never wore this one before. I have a bunch of the OMGs, but I've sort of ignored the pinks in my collection. This one is fabulous! Cool, girlie pink.
Starry Night Franken
Very happy with this franken, It looks jelly-ish and sparklie! No idea what Essie Starry Starry Night really looks like, but I like this!
Essie Sugar Daddy
This has to be the least streaky sheer pink I have ever used. It leaves a nice clean look. This must be at least 3 coats. I just wish my tips were so yellowed.. makes them look like a cheesy orangish yellow, ewwww!
Navy Holo franken
This is fabulous! They just don't make holos like they used to :( Its Pink Rose Diamond plus WnW Nocturnal
