I'm Wired

I really like L.A. Colors polish. Like really like. The few polishes that I purchased at the dollar store (awesome polish for cheap, heck yeah!) have all been great to work with.

Today I'm wearing Wired which is a really nice true blue. This is my usual two coats, no streaks, no bald spots and my nails almost seem to paint themselves.

So I oiled my cuticles right before taking pictures and I swear it was as if I put a fur magnet on my fingers! I am just now noticing, and I'm just too lazy to go for retakes. So pardon the pet hair. Actually, let me show you one of my pet hair contributors. :)

This is Baby and she sooooo did not want to get out of bed this morning. :) Neither did I. how about you?

Thanks so much for reading, have a great day! Until next time.

LA Colors 'Atomic"

Here is a pretty cool color. LA Color's Atomic. These pictures are not color accurate. Even though I played with the settings they came out a lot more green than the actual polish which is undeniably an aqua blue. It's still pretty though.
I mentioned in my last post that I got a bunch of LA Colors for a dollar and I am so glad I did. This is the second polish of the brand that I've tried and I love the formula. It's not too thick or too thin, is super smooth going on and just overall a great polish experience. I'm sold.
This is two coats and I actually was feeling rather lazy...and sick, so rather than removing Mega Watt I just applied Atomic over it. I guess technically that means I have 6 layers of polish on here. A base coat, three of Mega Watt and two of Atomic. o_O This has got to be a record for me. Of course the laziness carried over to my cleanup which I didn't bother doing so sorry it's a rather ragged mess.

Ug, so I mentioned I'm getting sick, I started feeling it coming on this morning and it's actually really getting me down because I have a glowga party (in this case, a party where you decorate yourself with glow paint and dance under black lights) this Saturday that I've been looking forward to going to for almost two months now.

I even picked up some new LA Girl Disco nail colors for the event. It's supposed to glow under black light so it would be perfect. I was thinking I'd do my face & body paint as a stylized Na'vi (Avatar). So would do my nails as a zebra stripe on a glow base. In my head the whole look is pretty cool so needless to say, I'm going to be beyond disappointed if I can't go because I'm sick.

So a rather short entry today, I'm feeling rather pathetic so I'm going to go take a hot bath with eucalyptus salts, make myself a pot of tea and then climb into bed under my heating blanket and think positive thoughts for health by Saturday. Wish me luck.

Thanks for reading (me whine), until next time, Ciao!

LA Colors Mega Watt

As of late it's been mostly overcast and I've found myself painting my nails in the evening so not a lot of sunlight. I get the feeling that a lot of my forthcoming pictures will be taken by Ott light.

The other day I stopped off at my local Dollar Tree (two of them actually) and found some polishes to add to my collection.

Pardon the dings and the icky cuticles that I only seem to notice after pictures are taken.

This if LA Color Mega Watt. I don't usually do sheers, and in the bottle, it looked like it would come out more opaque but I think it's actually rather pretty and would be great with a french tip.
For a dollar nail polish I was really impressed with the application. I had my usual sheer issue of getting consistent coverage, but the formula was nice and smooth with no drag. I've got three coats on here so I really don't think you could ever get it opaque.
This is a nice nude color and although you can't see it very well (at all) in the pics it has a pretty pink pearlescent shimmer to it.

This is my first LA Color polish but I'm kinda excited to see how the others work out. Any of my readers that are fans of this polish? Is it a good one?

Thanks for reading, until next time. Ciao!
