China Glaze Patent Leather. Wow, what an insanely nice application. It just glides on... yum! It's a very blue/cool red, so it seems to be ok with my skin.
Put a big daisy rhinestone sticker thing on my ring finger :D I'm the princess!
Happy T'giving everyone!

New NotD
Borghese Stellare Notte. Looks exactly like the nacre on a black pearl. Very very pretty. I'm not really expecting much since everyone says this colour gets tip wear like crazy, but I'll probably change it tomorrow anyhow.
Last night/today's mani was OPI DS Vintage... such a pretty burnt pumpkin with very noticeable holo in it.
Love it.
Actually, I love the Borghese as well, though it's spendy for a drug store nail polish (about $8 retail, I bought it from someone's blog sale though, for about $3).
La la la... had an interview today, did ok.. was a practice one though. Job fair tomorrow. Will go hand out CVs tomorrow and see what happens.

Heavens above
No buy for Annie. Long long time!
Cherry Culture (which I had forgotten about!!!) *gulp*
And from Chris' Blog sale (yay!) Lots of cool stuff in the haul, though I wasn't quick enough to get the NfuOhs :(

More post office madness ;(
RBL finally came YAY. Purty...
I knew I would probably get socked for import tolls, which I did... to the tune of $40 (for $63 in polish). So I insisted on standing there to open the package (which looked like a truck had rolled over it) in front of the SAME BORED HIGH SCHOOL KID. So I could find out -what- they had destroyed this time. 1 of the 7 polishes (Recycle, of course, the one I was really looking extra special forward to)...crushed... well down onto the bottle, not at all near the neck.
Very disappointing. *sigh*
I'm off to write them about it. This blows.

NotD BarryM Dusky Mauve
Still annoyed at the post orifice monkeys... still annoyed about the crushed and missing nail polish (ok, not enraged or anything, but yeah, it's annoying).
I did my nails tonight.. with the BarryM Dusky Mauve (Paradoxal dupe) and I really LIKE it. It's strong, it dries quickly, it feels like it's stiffer on my poor flaky nails... We'll see how it works for tomorrow.
I had an assignment to fill out a letter of application for a job (in my case a dreamy molecular biology lab job doing PCR and Taq PCR sample preparation)... Redid my CV also... so I hope something happens eventually. Could use a regular stable job.
Still in the application process with uni also, for next year. So I guess things are moving along! :)

RAAAAAH Post office rant
Barry M haul.. cool, huh? Except that the post office NEVER gives me a notice when things come.. until they send a 'SECOND NOTICE ZOMG' that they're sending my packages back. Idiots. I mean it.. I've had it with them. They do this every freakin' time. THEN I have to open the package in FRONT OF the bored high school kid to check what's broken, so I can fill out the complaint form. Note that I didn't say IF something was broken. It also never fails.
GRAAAAH stupid post office monkeys.
So it's not bad enough that BarryM 310 was crushed (seriously.. CRUSHED. I've never seen a polish bottle get actually crushed into pieces.. usually the neck breaks off).. but apparently something went wrong at BarryM's end too, because one of the polishes (210 Once Upon A Time) wasn't even in the package though it's on the packing slip.
Bugger. Gonna go send them a ranty email. And Ø's only comment was 'at least they crushed the fugly colour' ... gee thanks sweety :P

NotD, Haul etc
Received my ELF mini-haul in the mail... 6 little polishes. I have been thinking about reselling them on Finn.no, buying some more, etc.. I haven't actually tried ANY of them on yet... I think my untrieds pile is actually bigger than my trieds at this point.
NotD is H&M U Must Have This. Really pretty light blue creme. I have 2 coats of Shine on Crazy Diamond over it + 1 coat Savvy FC Glass Slipper + 1 coat LA Colors TC.
It's not a really 'me' blue.. but I love it anyhow!
Got some pics from H. of new polishes he got on a drugstore run... still bugging him to try to get some pics of the other stuff!
Still waiting for BarryM, RBL, Chris (blogsale), H. (over 700!!!!! bottles), Cherry Culture and a couple others... No buy No buy NO BUY!!! BAD ANNIE!

Nail polish haul
From M. in Canada. Woot.
From Beauty Clutch. Woot! (16 oz of topcoat and 1 bottle of an OPI which I can't remember.. was it Teasy Does it? or?) Turns out it was
Replacement bottles from EbayLady... (woot!)
I am just dying to get my hands on these. WAAAAAH!
Anyhow, did my nails. Kind of intimidated about Monday (job/interview stuff). Have on 3 coats Illamasqua Unnatural... blood red oxblood jelly. Just perfect... gorgeous. LOVE it.
Whee. I'm gonna have to be on a no-buy from now until.. forever.. to make up for the piles of polish coming my way from RBL, BarryM, ELF, M in Canada, Beauty Clutch, EbayLady, TransDesign, CherryCulture, Asos (still have masses of untried polish from their last sale) etc.
Jeez.

NotD
4 coats L.A.Colors Color Craze Jewel tone. 2 coats topcoat. Super fast and incredibly hard wearing. Feels like I've got on acrylics. Weird! :)
Ebay haul
Stuck in America. These are for frankening... couple breakages/some spillage... but H. just sent me pics. I've been playing a game to try to figure out what brands these are and checking colours and ingredients.
One of the culprits.
Some of the damage. I was planning to use these for frankening, not resale, so it's really minimal for my purposes. There are 3 huge boxes, breakage was limited to one box. So it's ok.
More piccies:
The end. Yay.
Still have some stash coming from the RBL 50% off sale, Cherry Culture sale and Beauty Clutch, oh and Barry M. I'm on a no-buy from now until... long long time.

RBL's 50% off sale.
I wanted Mismas, Orbis and Diddy Mow too :( The thing is, after I put in my order (Under the Stars, Frugalista, Scrangie, Look Rich be Cheap, 360, Recycle and Dead Calm), I went back and checked and they were listed as 'in stock'. I don't know whether someone's cart timed out or what... but it might pay to keep checking back! Man I am lemming for Mismas, Orbis and Diddy Mow. Bleh.
