It's true.

I'm on Instagram now!

There's also a link on the top left hand corner of this page.

I just signed up for it this weekend and am loving it. I post a lot more on there than I do on this blog, so if you're on Instagram, I'd love it if you'd join me. Yay!

Koopa Troopa

So, I may have gone on a bit of a nail polish binge this month. I made my first foray into indie polish with purchases from KBShimmer and Dollish Polish. I haven't used the KBShimmer ones yet (although I'm super excited to do so). I did however use Dollish Polish and am SOOOO impressed with the amount of glitter packed into this.

I found "The Koopa King" on clearance at Dollish Polish and could not resist. It's part of her gamer series and came out about a year ago. It was featured in a collection based on Nintendo characters. I wanted them all but decided finally on the Koopa King. It features different size golden yellow matte glitters, red and green hexes and black bar glitter. It also has teeny tiny white glitters (I think they are round?) and holographic diamond glitters. Yeah, that's about as much glitter as I've ever seen in a polish. The glitters are all in a clear base. I chose to put it over Zoya's Channing and I loooove it!

Here it is in all its glory!

I'm really trying hard not to say this, but...

"Every rose has its thorn..." There, I did it. I have no shame.

But, check this out!

So, It's the middle of November and I have a rose blooming in my flower bed! How pretty is this? I know - nothing to do with nail polish, but I wanted to share it. I am seriously thinking of signing up for Instagram so I can just do photos. Any thoughts?

Also, I for real met Bret Michaels this week (gotta attribute that quote to him, after all). I got to interview him for an article. Yeah, I've hit the big time now! I think I've developed a bit of a post-meeting crush on him. He was so hot (and super nice)! I may have to add him to my list along with Clooney and Liam Neeson!

Chop chop!

Today I have Sally Hansen Insta-dri in Chop Chop Copper. I think this is 3 coats. I used NYC Grand Central Station as a topcoat. This is such a pretty coppery gold color with twinkles of pink and blue/green. I took the blurry shots on purpose to show the twinkle. Yay!

Shimmery!

Today I'm wearing 3 coats of Essie Wicked with one coat of Color Club Snowflakes. 

I think I did something similar to this last year. 

Happy Halloween!

Here's my Halloween manicure

Index finger: color club (the orange from the take wing collection) with a skull stamped with black creme. The rest is black creme with Orly's Monster Mash layered over it. 

Ring is from Target.
