Women's Day Purple...

So this weekend has been overwhelming.... Women's Day in the Baptist Church is crazy. It is an all day affair and it makes me EEEEXHAUSTED. LOL

Today was no different. Our colors were purple and all week I've been playing with purples...but now I can't find the pictures on my computer. LOL

Above is today's manicure...I used Orly's Charged Up on every nail, but one coat under the nails with China Glaze Cleopatra. Talk about a love, love situation. I'm even wearing it tomorrow...well later tonight, to my friend's play reading at the Papp Public Theater.

Oh, oh...I forgot to say, I have been using Nail Magic as a base coat and as a top coat over my Seche. It has really been making my nails hard and I am very please with the way my nails are growing.

Okay...nighty, nite!

Purples

I just have to say this...I have entirely too many different bottles of purple polish. LOL I found this out because my church's women's day is this coming Sunday and there are a couple of events that we are having prior to Sunday. I thought I would be schnazzy and wear purple for the rest of the week for the events. I started digging and I think I have found 20 different purples. Outrageous....STRAIGHT outrageous. LOL

So now that I have vented that, I am going to bed...I'll take pictures tomorrow. LOL

Rolled Up in One

I haven't been here in a minute, but my nail polishing hasn't stopped. Here are a few colors I've worn lately.

I got this on my first trip EVER to Ulta and I am sorry that I ever found Ulta. LOL That place...straight debbil. This is After Party and on my ring finger is Tinsel. This manicure was a big hit at a concert I was singing on. I love the red glitter...and it was perfect on that snowy day.

This is China Glaze Grape Juice. I also got this on my first trip to Ulta. I was avoiding getting the Grape Pop (which I got this past weekend)...LOL I I love the pink glitter in the purple base. Straight sexay.

Hmmm...Essie's Sexy Divide...woah! I can't even say how much I love this color. The purple is so rich and just..yummy. LOL

This is today's manicure. I did a Seche run for my mom yesterday at Sally's and there were BINS of Finger Paint nail polish for $3.49. Hooo.haa. I don't normally like pinkish frosty polish, but I was drawn to the gold glitter at the bottom of the bottle. LOL Last night, I polished 4 fingers on my left hand and I squealed loudly with delight...at the chagrin of my cat. LOL It is beautiful, pinky, glittery and frosty. Oh and the name...Magenta Mood.

Grey By Grey

No matter how much I gripe about the brushes on the new Sally Hansen's...I am absolutely in LOVE with the colors.

Friday, I was singing on a friend's live recording and another friend who was singing forgot her makeup. We ran down to the local Duane.Reade where she grabbed some eyeshadow and I saw 4 new nail polishes that I've been eyeing. Argh, Grump.Humph. LOL I swear I need NA...Nail polish Anonymous!

So, I decided since I had pretty much been stuck in the house on Saturday, besides the time I shoveled out my car, I would take some time and polish my nails a hot color. The color goes on like the others...fully opaque in 1 coat...but because I'm anal, I have on 3....with Seche as a top coat.

By the way...am I the only person who has issues with Seche Vite top coat when the bottle gets half empty? If you have any tricks on how to make it easier to use, I would greatly appreciate it!

Weekly Poll......

1. How has your week been so far? Comme-ci comme-sa...not great...but surely not bad. I'll be glad when the sun shines on a consistent basis...cause this gloomy rain and snow is for the BIRDS!!!!!

2. Would you rather be stuck with -10 degree weather and snow the rest of your life or sun and 95 degrees? I am a sun baby. I will tolerate 95 degree weather ANY day of the week. Right now I am in absolute AGGGGONY...to quote a friend Help me Bobby! LOL

3. What’s on your nails? When I copied this...I just had on Nail Magic...but I was staring at a bottle of American Apparel's Palm Spring...so I started painting my nails that. I love it. I'm a real peach person...so I'm grateful for the lift

4. How far do you commute to get to work/school? Okay...so I'm a freelance opera singer, but while things have been low I have been teaching 5th and 6th grade chorus. So...the commute is about 40 minutes door to door when traffic is so so.

5. What kind of bag do you carry on a daily basis (purse, large tote, backpack, etc.)? It depends on the day. My favorite bag is a black patent leather pocket book that holds too dern much. Most times that I carry it I have a pain in the bend of my elbow from carrying too much weight. I usually have 2 opera scores, my book with my arias and things I'm in progress of learning, a small makeup bag, 2 ipods (one for recording voice lessons, the other with all my favorite music which keeps my sanity), 2 tubes of lotion, Burt Bee's cuticle cream...and on and on....it is absurd. Oh...and yes, I have all of this around me most of the time.

6. Are you crafty? What kinds of crafts do you do? I'm rather crafty. I used to scrapbook, but I don't have time anymore. I do crochet and other random things.

7. What is the best thing you can cook? Well, I don't do too bad...I think one of my biggest hits with my ex was either my salmon with curry and honey, mashed potatoes and asparagus...or my favorite trash food...bbq hot wings.

8. Are you good at math? Totally. Love it. But they say that most musicians are either good in math or science...or both. Something about correlation. *shrugging*

9. Do you take risks when it comes to your haircut or color? No. Unfortunately it would be totally absurd. That whole opera singer thing...and being in one of the most conservative art forms out there. Pish-Posh!

10. Ever heard of Sugarpill cosmetics? Yes because Temptalia.com reviewed them recently. They have beautiful colors!

Zoya Haul

I swear...I'm so, so sad. LOL Last week Zoya had a sale of sorts. You spend over $10 and you get 2 polishes free. Now...any normal person would buy 4...get 2 free....but not me. I ordered 6. Ack. LOL I got some colors that I have been lemming and one was a surprise to me. LOL

I ordered Yummy, MarryJ, Layla, Star, Paz and Savita. The Savita was a surprise...I have no idea why, but I didn't realize it was a matte. Funny enough this was the color that I was drawn too. So, I opened the box and there it was in all of its purple glory. Wootie Woo!

Sexxay!! I wonder if there will be one color by Zoya that I DO NOT like??

with China Glaze Fast Forward Top Coat

matte...no flash for both.
