First off, mind the picture settings and general awkwardness because those are the only ones where the color is depicted accurately.
So this is OPI's Stranger Tides, and it's the first time I used it. I wanted to use Meep Meep Meep, but since my uncle's memorial service is tomorrow I was obligated to wear something more conservative, which is ok.
It's a three coater, but two for thick appliers like me. It's not watery, just sheer.
Reviews later? I think yes.

Life- Summer Bugs
It's shorts at night kind of weather here in California (but break was the week it rained. boo.) and as promised, this morning, I tore off my polish. The squirrels could not be tolerated. By then it was 8:30, and I was planned to visit my boyfriend at 9 so I went with my nails blank.
And that turned out to be my saving grace. After time with the boyfriend, I went over to my friend's house because it was her dad's fiftieth birthday (he got lots of alcoholic presents) and she had one of those four sided nail buffers with a file.
All afternoon I subconsciously buffed my ever ridgey nails down and filed them down to somewhat square. They're different lengths right now though, so I'll file them down to nubs and try and get a strengthening base coat because now my nails have now ridges to use ridge filler in.
So I'll do my nails tomorrow. No idea what color yet. It'll be a surprise.
As for the bugs, we've been opening the windows because of the hot weather and horseflies have been flying in the house and attacking my face in my sleep.
Pictures below of two I've killed, see you later!

New Nails- April 20, 2012
I'm redoing this in the morning. I am definitely redoing this in the morning.
I've kinda been having a hard few days. I found out my uncle passed away one morning right before I had to go to school yesterday and I just imploded with all my emotion. I walked into first period in utter tears and people were giving me really funny looks. It was not a good feeling. But I've accepted it more; it's never an easy thing.
My cat that I've had all my life is going to be put down on Monday. The day before yesterday was a wreck too. My ex got up in my boyfriend's face talking smack about me and it's just not a good week for me. Thanks for excusing my absence.
So I redid my nails for the Temptalia Disney Villains Challenge and I painted Scar and the three hyenas.
Well, correction. I WANTED to paint Scar and the three hyenas. I paints a blob and three squirrels.
My other hand is even worse. It's not even worth telling you the colors. I took this picture with flash in the dark. You can see the indent on my index finger and when my friend was cleaning up around the nail she rubbed off some of the polish on my pinky.
I am redoing this tomorrow. I hate it.
So not proud.

Review- MAC Screening Room
Gosh, this is long overdue. The pictures are in bad lighting too. I apologize. It's almost ten on the last night of my spring break and I'm really bummed that I have to go to school tomorrow.
This is a killer teal color. Get it if you're attracted to the color, and if you have no desire to own the color, don't buy it. Simple as that. If you do wanna buy it, run, don't walk. It's limited edition and you know how that gets.
It streaked on one of my nails on the first coat, but easily evened out. I did get away with one coat. A lot of people said this applied unevenly but I had no issues. This goes for a lot of MAC polishes; they fit my liking and not others.
The way I apply nail polish, I apply a fair glob and spread it out in normal stripes. I don't do the side, side, middle thing. I like my polish applied y way and I've found it works. Do what works for you. With this polish, it doesn't glop onto the sides. It's neither watery nor thick. Wondrous, really.
This did not budge on my hands. No chips, no real tip wear. I used Out the Door top coat and OPI Ridge Filler base coat.
I think that's all I have to say, see you next time!

New Nails- April 15, 2012
Yesterday I was out on the town when I picked up two new Essie shades that I've been lusting over for a really long time. Those two shade were Borrowed & Blue and Shine of the Times.
Of course I had to use Shine of the Times the day I got it! It's a baby rainbow in a bottle. I can't even describe how gorgeous it is. Just buy it, or at least feast your eyes upon the picture.
It's layered over Essie's Bobbing for Baubles. It's a good midnight blue from their late winter collection.
Reviews later, I think! Should I start doing more new nails posts?
See you next time! Also, do you like the lighting?
