Fangirl Friday: 8.23.13

It's the end of another week... the beginning of another weekend, and I'm ready. Seriously, I thought this morning was Saturday, and was kinda sad when I figured out it was Friday. It's something that happens all too often on weekdays and not often enough on weekends.

1. Glitter...

Nouveau Cheap is thee authority on drugstore beauty product releases and sightings. So, when this post came across my bloglovin' feed... I swooned. Notgonnalie.

TEN new glitter polishes for Fall 2013. T-E-N. I've already added 5 to my wishlist. I have no idea if I'll be strong when I see them in person.

2. GLITTER...

Deborah Lippmann has 4.5 new glitter polishes coming out, and Scrangie has been sharing her gorgeous swatches. I say 4.5 because I'm not sure how to classify Fake It 'Til You Make It until I see it swatched, but I'm pretty sure I'll want it in my collection too. :)

Ms. Lippmann just KNOWS how to put glitters together in forms that make girls like me drool. And Scrangie's swatches are always lovely, especially when they're all glitter-fied! 


3. G-L-I-T-T-E-R!

KBShimmer is behind some of the bestest glitterbombs out there. I haven't tried them yet, but I drool over their sight and the swatches that come through my feeds. Recently, Manicurity and The PolishAholic have both featured You Go Ghoul! It's so very sparkly and perfect for Fall!

In addition to You Go Ghoul, I'm especially loving No Whine Left, Iris My Case, and Elle. Fall 2013 is nawt shaping up to be very kind to my wallet. At. All.

4. The return of the Apple Fangirl. Maybe.

I miss my iPhone. I traded it in for the Samsung Galaxy Note last fall, and I'm seriously thinking about going back to Apple. I just don't feel the same connection with my Note. I feel like I used my iPhone a WHOLE lot more. If only there were an iPhone with a Note-sized screen. I'm torn. I REALLY am.

5. City of Bones is in theatres.

This is one of my FAVORITE series of books. The books are usually better, and the movies always leave something out, but that doesn't ever stop me from wanting to see them. And yes, I think I'm mostly over the decision to cast Jamie Campbell Bower as Jace instead of Alex Pettyfer. Almost.


What caught your eye this week?

SinfulColors Mauve On Seriotype

Whether you call it a seriotype or smooshy... (I prefer seriotype) there is just something about this style of manicure that I can't get enough of.  Polishes Used:  1 Coat Fingerpaints Smooth Out Ridge Filler 3 Coats SinfulColors Mauve On Essie Leggy Legend Pahlish Autumn People Pure Ice Get in Line 1 Coat SinfulColors Clear Coat 1 Coat Seche Vite Hey there! It's been a little while, hasn't it? Sorry about that. Life happens, you know? Oddly enough, I didn't stop painting my nails during my hiatus. I kept taking pictures for a while, and then that just sort of stopped to. Weird how some habits die hard, while others don't change a bit.  Anyhoo... I found pictures of this mani in my files and couldn't believe I didn't share it! This was one of my favorite polishes last spring, and I recreated this exact seriotype/ a few times.  This mani started out with 3 fresh coats of Mauve On. I typically wrap my tips on the 2nd c

Fishbowl Friday 073 // Recreation

Every now and then, I enjoy looking back over past manicures. Creatively, it's just neat to see how far I've come since the days I started. Oddly enough, when I chose this prompt, I knew exactly which manicure I wanted to recreate. Based loosely on Fishbowl Friday 027 , today's seriotype nails are a RECREATION ...  Polishes Used: 1 Coat Fingerpaints Smooth Over Ridge Filler 3 Coats China Glaze Violet Vibes Essie Leggy Legend Pahlish Autumn People Pure Ice Get in Line SinfulShine Konstellation 2 Coats SinfulColors Clear Coat 1 Coat Seche Vite Looking back, I can honestly say that my seriotype game has come far since I first learned the method. One of the things that took me a while to master was the balance of nail polish finishes. While seriotypes made exclusively with creme polishes look cool, those made with a combination of different finishes really pop. There's more depth involved when you layer a metallic over a jelly neon and

Fishbowl Friday 072 // Hard Candy

We're going to skip that whole part where we talk about how it's been a while, because well, it's been a really long while. I'm still trying to work out how to make room for blogging and juggle everything else, and it's definitely been a challenge. But know that I am working on it, and I do really, really miss it. This place has been my Quantum of Solace for a long time, and I'm not planning on letting it go anytime soon. That being said... for this week's prompt, I was happily surprised when I pulled HARD CANDY . This is probably one of the most iconic brands of nail polish, and it's certainly gone through it's own number of changes throughout the years. Who didn't want to own a bottle of Sky once they saw it on Alicia Silverstone's nails way back in the 90's? Last year, Hard Candy celebrated their 20th anniversary by bringing back some of their most iconic shades. The collection was a mix of five original shades and three new ones.
