Something different and not quite me!

I am so not a neon color type of girl, I tend to stay away from bright neon colors. Orange cone nail polish..Yeah I'll pass. But I bought the roller girl set from Urban Decay a while back and it comes with Woodstock, this intense hot pink color that you can see from a mile away. It set in my nail polish travel case for a while before I said, "ah what the hell, lets give it a go!"


I loved how shocking it was, but It just felt like something was missing so I broke out the konad (actually the faux Konad) and printed multiple butterflies on each nail. Now I have to state the butterfly is the only design I have mastered..OH KONAD WHY YOU SO HARD FOR ME!

And after two generous coats of seche vite, because I'm not to crazy about the matte look that neon colors decide to be, and a splotch of glitter (OPI for Sephora, Its bouquet with me) I was pleased with the results! I think this is a nice push for me to be more adventurous. If anyone is curious I used plain old white for the butterflies, but with the seche it kind of faded off. But that is it for now, time for bed!

Urban Decay Aquarius

I bought the summer of love set a few months ago from Urban Decay.com and well... I never even wore any of the polishes. I love Urban Decay, but guys... you really need to bring back the full bottles. I still have my bottle of (Original bottle) Roach and (new bottle) Gash. Why did you stop making full bottles, considering nail polish is what put you on the map? I guess we will never know.. But onto the color!




Of course about five minutes after I painted my nails I chipped the ring finger. Even with a nice coat of Seche on it. I also think it could have used a third coat. Two is good, but three would have given a more dense look.

I showed the color to Renee, and we got into a discussion about how much it would suck that we would have to buy a whole new set just for that one color. The only thing besides that it to get a dupe, and in our search the only color I could think of its Mermaid to order by OPI for Sephora and NYC Glossies 241. They come kind of close, but no cigar. Mermaid is duochrome and NYC 241 is very sheer! You need about 5 coats of it to get that actual color. And Renee added that it doesnt have as much as a metallic look than Aquarius. But that's it for now! I need to watch some Thursday night TV and vegggg...
