(T)NOTD: How I saved my boring pedicure.

Tuesday, August 10th, 2010

A few days ago, I did my toenails with OPI Designer Series in Treasure, which in the bottle is a pretty standard orange.  I was actually fairly excited to try it, because I’ve heard such good things about the OPI Designer Series line, and the swatches of all the colors that I’d seen online were [...]

NOTD: Sinful Colors You Just Wait

Monday, August 9th, 2010

With the Walgreens coupon for this week (you can read about it on Nouveau Cheap if you haven’t seen it yourself), I decided it was a good time to actually use one of my Sinful Colors polishes to make sure I want more.  I’d just like to say that I will be splurging $3 (well, [...]

NOTD: Treasure goes with anything.

Saturday, July 24th, 2010

I’ve figured out that I have a fairly neutral skintone, but it leans just a smidge to the warm side.  I look okay in silver jewelry, but somehow I figured that gray nail polish just Would Not Do.  That doesn’t stop me from wanting to wear it, though–in fact, being the contrary creature that I [...]

(T)NOTD: Tallulah (and some Treasure!)

Sunday, July 4th, 2010

My toenails have been pink for the past couple of weeks, boring enough that I didn’t bother photographing, and it was time for something else.  Yesterday, I decided it was the perfect weekend for BLUE!

This is Zoya Tallulah.  Two coats.  It’s thin enough that I’m realizing I should have buffed my big toenail, but whatever.
Then, [...]

(T)NOTD: Speaking of chartreuse….

Thursday, May 20th, 2010

I’m beginning a period of time where I have to look responsible and make a good first impression because I’m scheduling job interviews, so I’m forgoing the fingernail polish for a while. I have a couple more sedate colors, but I’m still not that great with a brush, so I’d rather not wear it at [...]

NOTD: Zoya Mieko

Thursday, May 13th, 2010

So now that I’ve started to get the hang of photographing my makeup, I apparently have to relearn everything I ever knew in order to photograph my nails.  Every single picture I take made my nail polish look uneven and dull, when in reality I did a pretty good job with it, for once, and [...]

NOTD (a few days ago): Zoya Cassi

Thursday, April 29th, 2010

Saturday the boyfriend and I went to a christening, and since it was time to take the old polish off anyway, I decided to put on something a little bit more tame…still fun, but tame enough to feel okay being in a Catholic church.  So Friday night was spent with a nail polish brush in [...]

NOTD: Lana

Tuesday, April 20th, 2010

I realized after I did my nails yesterday that I should have dealt with my old toenail polish beforehand, because I’m liable to mess things up if I try to be careful of the fingernails.  My best friend pointed out that gloves might help, and my boyfriend keeps a box of disposable gloves around to [...]
