Humility and Lippmans

Dear 2013,

You better not suck.


I am starting off the new year with a bit of humility.  I took a few pics of some Lippmanns I got for xmas.  Upon examination, it appears that these are horrible pictures, mostly due to my shiz application.  I was going to not post them, but here I am.  Why am I posting ug pictures?  Because I am a human, and sometimes humans fuck up, but the polish is still pretty right?  It's like organic vegetables.  Maybe they are a little wonky looking.. but they are better for you? Sometimes? :D  Or maybe my sanity is rapidly dwindling..  I will embrace this.

Anyfrigginghoo, here is Sweet Dreams with a big stupid fimo flower on it that I now regret.


 3 coats + SV



So I figured I would try layering it.  Here is 1 coat over top of Ask Oh So Aubergine which I still maintain is a stupid name, but the formula is a 1 coater if you are fast and careful.

Apparently I dipped the bottle in some fuzz before presenting it for the masses.


 I should not quickly wrap tips with dark polish and too much of said dark polish on the brush.  You will see more of this later.



Okay so here is where things really start sucking.

After layering it over purple, I decided I wanted to try it over blue.  This happened to coincide with my wanting to comp Nfu-oh JS31 to Revlon Royal.

They look similar in the bottle.


NOT.  4 coats of each + NYC GCS

So apparently quickly putting on 4 coats of nail polish and then NYC Grand Central Station wasn't a good idea.  I can't even.. I mean you have eyes right? You can see the many ways in which this was such a bad decision.  Also, these are the GOOD pictures.


A little bit of bubbly to ring in the new year? No?


Okay so the pointer and pinky both have 1 coat of Sweet Dreams on top.  The middle 2 fingers have 2 coats, mostly because I fucked up.




But does it shift? Yes'm.



Keeping up with poor application, poor pictures and poor decisions.  Here is Cleopatra In New York, 3 coats with no topcoat? Why did I not put topcoat on?  Also keep your eyes peeled for incredibly shitty clean up.



In case you did not see the shitty clean up job, I have pointed it out for you.  Although, I currently feel I should have put that on the pinky too.. and maybe all of them :S


So this is 1 coat over top of Orly Glitz & Glamour (favourite gold in case you forgot). I thought it might look kinda cool like Rock Coat or something.  I think it looks kinda neat.


Thanks for looking at my pictures and probably just skimming my text if that!  I hope you all have a less shitty 2013.  If your 2012 wasn't shitty, then 2013 being even less shitty than not shitty would be pretty good! Pin It

OPI - Amazing Lazing Lilac & Revlon - Whimsical

This is one of the lightest barely purples I have ever met. Here is 4 coats no topcoat.





Here it is against my dirty ass white door. See? Lilac!


Since I had it on, I figured it would make a nice base for Revlon Whimsical which is a fabulous Lippmann Glitter in the Air dupe. Revlon, never stop duping. You dupe so good.

2 coats no top





I really really love this polish. I rarely willingly pay full price for Revlons which is stupidly expensive IMO in Canada, but it needed to be done. Pin It

Lynnderella - Change

Chaaaaange?


Love it! Has become the winner in the run up for what I am going to wear to the Psychiatry Christmas party on Friday! W00t!

Oh you will look so nice with my chocolate brown dress Change..

I cannot think of this polish without this song playing in my head.

The question now is.. what will be my underwear?

Orly Glitz & Glamour? (3 coats)





Or.. (from pointer to pinky) OPI Pros & Bronze, OPI Warm & Fozzie, OPI Designer De Better and Revlon Copper Penny.
1 coat


2 coats


Sorry again for any random wipqozn and bitlets of foil polish that did not clean up, but in fact cleaned up to my first knuckle and spread around a bit. *shakes fist* Pin It

Lynnderella - Connect The Dots

2 coats over Revlon Modern Grace. This is the Lynnderella that I wanted the most. I am so glad that I snapped it up when I got the chance. It gives a unique look to essentially every other polish. I love it. I can't stop looking at it!

Revlon - Mistletoe

I noticed that there were some new Revlons out. I also noticed that they were on sale for $3.99 which is the absolute most I can make myself pay for a Revlon polish. Not that they aren't good polishes. I just cannot pay more than 4 dollars for them.

This was 2 coats + SV. It could have been done in 1 careful coat. This polish was a bit thick to work with. Went on fairly easy though. No complaints really.

Sorry for the blur. I was trying desperately to get some pictures taken in between doing my eye makeup and getting dressed. This lack of light is killing me. I either have to do all my swatching on the weekend.. or try and squeeze it in between things in my already time crunched morning. I really need to get a light. Pin It

Nfu-Oh 50 and various combinations therewith!

Once upon a time I went to Edmonton. It was my very first flight! Trufax!

Miss Moxie was a most gracious hostess. Here are her lovely nails!

Sparitual Health Wealth & Happiness



Aaand then a layer of OPI DS Royal



AaaaAaaand then a layer of Nfu-Oh 50!



And here are my grubby paws sporting Revlon Modern Grace & Nfu-Oh 50


Hmm it almost looks matte!


I had an amazing time and I have a lot more swatching to do with the spoils of my trip! Pin It
