Vacation 3-for-1

 Hey all,

I'm back from vacation!
I got some much needed r & r in the country.
Swimming in the lake was the best part. I'm a water baby, but lakes are my favourite.
We made lots of yummy food and watched fun movies. I crochted like crazy.
And I managed to finish the book I started the day we arrived!
So satisfying. The book was a pretty meh Stephen King, but overall a fun read.

I went away with Dagadelic, so you know manicures were afoot.
Deciding which polishes to bring was a bit painstaking, but I managed to narrow it down to 7.
And wouldn't you know it, used them all! So pleased.

First up
Pretty & Polished - Tomboyish & Zoya - Purity

Tomboyish is a colour changing polish. I used it once before in this manicure.

It was so warm out I was unable to capture it in it's cold state. But you can see the difference from the bottle.

I love this polish either way. In the lake, however, I had an awesome gradient going.

Just the thing to space out on while drifting away.

Next up, I brought a few of my most summery shades.

piCture pOlish - Citrus

The Nail Junkie - Watermelon 

 Zoya - Reagan

I used citrus as a base and then sponged with all three

for the ultimate summer gradient...

I was so happy with this one. It's the gradient I've been dreaming of for weeks. Sunsets and popsicles.

Just a hint of Watermelon's shimmer running throughout. I wont soon forget this one.

Last but not least I have 

Enchanted Polish - Congratulations & Nubar - Resort Yellow

I LOVE this yellow. I have found my perfect shade.

Not too golden. Not too neon. Juuust right.

And Congratulations? Well I think "holy crap" is the best way to describe it.

This disco fantastic manicure knocked my socks off.

Resort Yellow took 3 coats, but look at how perfect it is!

I'd have to say this one is my favourite of the three. What about you?

I'm back to work tomorrow. Trying not to think about it.

At least I know I'll have nail mail to look forward to ;)

Have a great night and an awesome manicure

Citronite

Hey all,

Just a quicky today :P I'm spent.

So I arrange my polish by brand...

And I've had these two babies sitting next to each other for a while now...

It just made sense. You know?

But now when I look at it...

All I can think...

...is carrots.

piCture pOlish - citrus & kryptonite

Not that I hate carrots. Or this manicure. It just wasn't as I expected. 

I hope everyone's having a great ... Tuesday -_- 

A week and a half and I go on vacation.

Time is going too slowly.

Have a great night and an always awesome manicure.

piCture pOlish - Citrus

Hey all,

Two posts in one day?! What in the heck?

I just really want to catch up. :)

And this polish speaks for itself!

I've been having a fantasy love affair lately.

After countlessly drooling over this Pointless Cafe swatch I could no longer stand it!

piCture pOlish - Citrus had to be mine!

It is the perfect orange! 

Very opaque and incredibly saturated,
piCture pOlish does not disappoint with this creme formula.

Lucas always comments on the lack of orange in my collection. 

It's not for lack of trying, but generally I find them to be too sheer, streaky and watery.

Not this time. Complete satisfaction!

I was feeling the citrus vibe and used stripping tape to create an accent with Sally Hansen - Lickety Split Lime

These colours are so perfect together. I see a gradient in their future :)

I'm so excited for Wednesday :D 

One of my favourite bands is coming to town!

The Heartless Bastards!

They are so awesome live, I cannot wait. 

And I get to share it with some of my favourite people.

 They've never seen them before :) Oh are they in for a treat.

Here's a treat for all of you. Skin and Bone, my favourite song off their newest album.

Enjoy!

Have a great night!

Who is John Galt?

 Hey all,
I've been thinking lately about why I blog. And I'm not quite sure. Perhaps it's the push of the second self. Turning inward once again. I'm filled with doubt. But not about myself. Just with the world. Society is so completely baffling. I urge you, if you haven't read Atlas Shrugged, do it now! Because everyday, more and more, Ayn Rand was right. It's already happened. And all I really want to do is gather my favourite people and move to the mountains of Colorado to start over again.
So if that's the way I feel, why the hell do I have a blog? I don't know! Because I like to torture myself.
I do want to connect with people. And I think that's why I do it. To weed out the goodness in a world I find so... there are too many words to describe. And if I need the filter of a computer to do that, then so be it. I am a weird antisocial girl. I need a machine to feel human. That's the honest truth.

No art today. Just something I wore back on Valentine's Day. 

piCture pOlish - Monroe

Marilyn would definitely approve.

I remember taking this bottle shot in February. I already admitted I'm weird so I'll tell you.

The bottle seemed to be giving off so much personality. In every pose it was expressing something, a scene in my head.

Give me passion! Seduce me! And it would.

Ever since then every bottle shot I do is like the still of a movie... to me. 

Do I really have to say anything about this polish?

No.

It's that fantastic.

Hope everyone's having a good week.

I have a very exciting future crochet project to work on. 

But I can't say anything about it right now :)

Anyone read, watched or created anything awesome?

Let me know.

Have a great night and read Atlas Shrugged!
