jade is the new black half moons

messy. whatever. they were hot and they looked super sweet for a while before taking them off and putting on essie’s “pop art pink”. oh the underpolish i think is OPI’s “up close and personal”… i think.

essie’s “lapis of luxury” and a reprise

okay, so, this is the most gorgeous blue to have ever graced my nails.
i shouldn’t even call it a blue, it’s more of a blue-hued periwinkle. and because it’s borderline i couldn’t get a very accurate image of the color! but alas, i found a way thanks to photobooth.

the two pictures above were what i kept getting; a brighter “blue”, which is incorrect.

this picture is completely accurate (sorry i didn’t take it with the bottle! and it’s scuffed!) it’s so beautiful and it pairs well with my freshly dyed auburn hair. this is going to be a huge hit if it isn’t already, and it’s very refreshing to look at.

as for a reprise, i will do another chanel sugar-pulsion impulse shoot because it’s been getting a ton of hits and i’m not too happy with the pictures i provided.

a lola summer

Posted in fashion, nail polish by amanda s on May 16, 2010

as noted, my birthday was may 6th, last friday. i came home this past friday to a drawer-full of presents from my mother, and she gifted me the most extraordinary fragrance/decoration/beauty icon in the whole world.

she gave me…

lola! no way! fantastique!

also, here are a few swatches of Jade is the New Black by OPI (which i highly recommend)

also i must share the birthday card my mother gave me. i personally found it hysterical.

for my twentieth birthday, my girlfriends, boyfriend and i went to the melting pot. we ordered the yin & yang (the fondue pictured below) and s’mores.

the dippers! my plate came with a candle in the cheesecake.

boyfriend and i.

my future colocataire et moi posed by a pretty fountain at the plaza.

the girls treated me to a pedicure. i chose OPI’s “lucky lucky lavender” from the hong kong collection, and i believe it looks wonderful! a bright lavender creme.

turquoise half moons

i used china glaze’s “for audrey” and OPI’s “cosmo-not tonight honey”.
i’m going to take it off soon, it’s almost too bright for me!

my birthday is next thursday and i’m at a loss as to what to do for my nails. yes, i’m fretting over this. anyone have any ideas for birthday nails?

lavender half moons

my newest nailpolish creation!

done with urban outfitter’s “purple 7″ and OPI’s “cosmo-not tonight honey!”

which i HIGHLY suggest you nailpolish people get, as it works alone and with every single polish (and is wonderful for half-moon manicures)

look what i did!

just about as talented as dita von teese’s manicurist, right? (sarcasm) i will post a much better half-moon manicure post once i get a new camera.

light my sapphire

Posted in nail polish by amanda s on February 4, 2010

the weekend is almost here and i didn’t want to do my brit lit homework just yet, so. i painted my nails.

OPI, light my sapphire

THAT IS NOT MY OWN PICTURE. just sayin’.
anyway it’s pretty fucking gorgeous. it’s a deep blue vampie with silvery shimmer. it looks so damn good, the color goes with any skin tone. please try it!
