What Are You Wearing on Your Nails?

August 15th, 2012 by Karen 27 Comments

rgb minty swatch

I’m wearing RGB Minty on my fingers (from Popsugar’s new monthly Must-Have Bag subscription service for July) and Zoya Arizona on my toes.

How about you? What are you wearing on your nails?

G’morning, friend! 🙂 I feel 1000% better today. Oh, sweet sleep, how I love thee so…

This is probably gonna make me sound terribly “vintage,” as in the “Get off my lawn, you pesky kids!” definition of the word, but I went to bed at 8:30 last night…

Tabs was like, “What the hell, Mom?! It’s not even dark yet. I thought we had plans to party tonight ’til the break of dawn.”

Sorry, Tabby. Mommy tired.

OH! I started another book, another young adult science fiction one called Enclave, by Anne Aguirre. I read that in bed last night until I passed out.

5-second summary? BOOM! It’s the apocalypse (of course), and everyone lives underground in abandoned subway tunnels. The main character, Deuce, is a teenage girl/huntress trying to navigate her way through the world in a time of great change.

If I hadn’t been so tired I would have kept reading all night long. It’s been that good so far.

This is kinda weird, but here’s the trailer for the book (I know, trailers for books)…


The Enclave book trailer

Okay…there’s some cheese in there, and the dude looks nothing like I picture him in my head, but it gives a little taste of what the book’s about.

Anywho, I hope things are going well out there. Anything new to report? I’ve got a full tank of positive vibes over here, so if you need a refill, just holler. I’ll zap some over to you with my hands, Sookie-style. 🙂

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    A good night’s sleep can do wonders. Some days I feel so tired that the coveted 8 hours also don’t seem enough! I love this nail paint. I’m wearing L’Oreal Paris Color Riche Nail enamel in Beige Countess right now!

    On my fingers I have Butter London Tea With the Queen, with OPI Just Spotted the Lizard on my ring fingers. On my toes I have Essie Aruba Blue. I work in a professional area but the dress code never dictated how nails should be ‘did’ =D

    In other news, I got engaged! =D =D =D I am now stalking beauty blogs everywhere (especially MBB) for bridal looks. I’m getting married in Las Vegas so I can actually go crazy with flashy colors and shiny sparkly things. Currently I want a look to emphasize my eyes. There’s going to be a lot of kissing (and drinking) on the big day so even the long wear lipstick can’t keep up..

    Essie Raspberry, taking it off when I get home from work though, its chipping so badly. I’m so ready to start wearing darker fall colors, I just can’t bring myself to do it yet, though.

    Can you send over some of those sleep vibes? I could use some….

    Loving the color, Karen! I usually say it about your lip colors, but this minty hue is YOUR color! I’m wearing China Glaze’s Pink Voltage (Neon) and I’m in schlove! It has an almost blue sheen when the nails turn to the side…I’m smitten.

    A more pink than orange coral color from Essie. They got chipped when I helped some friends move and I can’t find it outside of my nail lady’s place.

    I am going to get my nails done on Friday and am thinking about breaking out my fall colors early. I might go with China Glaze Exotic Enconter, a sophisticated dusty teal/green. So pretty!

    You are on a tear with the good books! I just ordered Angelfall based on your rec and the paperback is going to ship on the 28th. Enclave sounds promising, too!

    I’m wearing Essie’s Bikini So Teeny on my toes, but nothing on my fingers. Been giving them a break. Swatched a lot of nail polish over the past two weeks, and my cuticles are shredded. 🙁 I do want to swatch Sonia Kashuk’s A Powerful Punch set today, though.

    Haha–book trailers always make me LOLz 😛 And Deuce? Good God, what an awful name…

    I’m currently wearing Essie’s Play Date on my nails, but I am in desperate need of a polish change–which I haven’t done because I’m out of nail polish remover and am too lazy to run out for another bottle 😛

    OPI Vodka & Caviar on my hands! Probably my favorite bright red. And Nails Inc. Porchester Square on my toes. Doesn’t really match but it’s my birthday so it’s alright 🙂

    I have Luminess Gel Haute Bitten polish on my hands.

    What did you think of the items in the PopSugar bag? I’m not sure I’ll be ordering another, and I’m skeptical about some of the other product bags out there.
