 This is my first post using Nostalgic Lacquer!  Hooray!  I was recently able to snatch up some of her Halloween limited edition polishes as well as regular polishes I've been wanting for some time now.
 I ordered them from the Nostalgic Lacquer shop site here.  The hard part is that you have to have perfect timing in terms of when the shop is stocked.  I got lucky and was tipped off on a nail polish forum.  I expect you can also get updates on Facebook (I'm merely speculating).
 Here I've used three somewhat generous coats of B*tchcraft polish, topped with two coats of Butter London top coat.
 When I first started painting my nails, I was a little taken aback by the ugliness of the base color.  I say that with a lot of love for all colors, I really do!  I was just worried at how it was going to turn out all on its own, without any underwear.
 By the time I was done painting, I really loved it!  It's so ugly it's PRETTY!  This polish rocks.  I love the glitters and the jelly base.  Despite having a few small bubbles, I'm really pleased with this polish and mani.  Also, the application was quite easy.
I got several compliments on it today, so that is always a good feeling.  Do you love it, or maybe not so much?

P.S.  My previous mani, with Hits Borealis, lasted a whole entire week.  A WEEK!  That is absolutely nutso.  I still can't believe it.  :)  I think that is a personal record!

 It's time for more awesome Halloween nail appliques!
 These are the limited edition "Spun For You" design by Sally Hansen.
 I have to say that I'm mostly proud of my application this time around.  I got the placement much better than what I had done with the little ghosts.
 I did mess up a couple of nails, though, and have to start over using a new sticker.  Thank goodness for the extra ones!
 Also, this time around, I decided to experiment by using my beloved Palladio Fuse base coat underneath them, and then I top coated them right away with Cult Nails Wicked Fast.  Normally I don't use a base and I top coat them after about four or five days of wear.
In some ways, the base helps right away when you're applying but it also makes it a bit tricky because you have less wiggle room to mess up and start over!  The base is sticky, so you have to be sure you're placing it right before you make a move.

 Wednesday I put on the Sally Hansen Salon Effects nail appliques in Ghoulie Girl.  These pictures are from that day.
 For some crazy reason I always apply and place the stickers much more precisely and evenly on my right hand (not shown)!  Totally bizarre since I am right handed.
 They remind me of Pac-Man ghosts, kind of.
 They are super cute and fun!  I'm really enjoying wearing them.  I do have a few little dings and chips by now, but nothing especially heinous.
I have to say I am itching for a change!  I don't know why because normally I love having these on and wearing them for as long as I possibly can.  I'm going to try and keep them on until the end of tomorrow, at least.  :)


This Is Me!

I love color, beauty, creativity, animals, and being care-free. I'm not care-free, in reality, but would like to think it's an attainable state of being! I do like to bend the rules when it serves a greater purpose and I'm all about being authentic. Here I am, take me or leave me! I suppose I'd call myself a sensitive soul. I think I feel things more deeply and ponder things more thoroughly than your average bear.
