Renee by Julep

Renee by Julep another TIOT!!!

Julep describes this as a spring lilac creme, and I have to say I agree with this. The color coverage is awesome. Almost full coverage in one coat, with only minor touch ups needed. This makes a wonderful alternative to white as a base color if you are using any kind of purple or pastels. I do wish the color came out better, in the pictures it looks more pink. :(

Try It On Tuesday!!!

Heavenly by Revlon

with a base coat of 

Lucy by Julep to show

off the beautiful glitter.

I love the look of this polish with it's clear base and gold hex glitter and blue/pink square glitter.

The color of the glitter is completely changed once it is layered over the base of Lucy. 

I think this will look completely different with every polish it is worn with. 

But No matter what it is divine looking!

This was easy to use with little to no fishing to 

get glitter out of the bottle.

Revlon - Whimsical

Whimsical by Revlon

This is my first Try It On Tuesday swatch.

I am not for sure when I got this polish, and I can not 

believe that I have yet to try it. So that is why I picked 

Whimsical by Revlon for my Try It On Tuesday polish.

 I love the light blue gel base with it's large and small 

light pink and blue hex glitter. 

It did take three coats to get to this look, but I did not use 

anything under it, and I think it would have a better effect 

were it worn over a base of white. I will try this next time 

and I will add those pics to this post then.

WTF!?! What happened here???

Here's a story about a girl and her thumb nails:

So on Tuesday night after filing down the nails on my right hand. (Very sad a little over a week ago my right thumbnail started to tear back towards the quick, so I patched it using a empty teabag and some super glue.) I decided that the thumb nail had grown out enough that I could shorten all the nails on my right hand, much shorter than I like. But because it is not the hand I take pictures on, I thought "Ok no big deal." I debated on bringing my left hand nails down just a bit and decided nah no real reason to......

Well, I guess I was WRONG!!! I got up Wednesday morning to find the temperature had dropped, so I went out to grab my hat and gloves out of the van. The heater in my car is having some issues, it sounds as though a giant hamster has taken up residence and runs on a giant wheel every time I turn my heater on. On top of which I am down to only one speed on the fan, HIGH... So I felt they would be a good choice to take with me to work. So grabbing the keyless entry remote on my way out the door, out I went.  Halfway across the front yard I unlocked the doors by pushing the button twice, and that is when it happened.... 

My left thumbnail snapped!!! All the way across but maybe a millimeter to hold it on, about 1/8in back into the quick or nailbed. At least there was no blood and a few layers are still there to protect the nailbed. There was much cursing and I think the whole neighborhood might have heard me. I think that it was the universe's way of telling me I should listen to my own advise, much like Alice in Wonderland, and just brought them down a little bit.... 

So I thought I might show a before and after shot...

This is what they looked like before the remote.

And this is the after of what my thumb looks like now.
And yes that is my real nail... :(
