Skull and Glossbones

I just had to share.  I've meaning to share this since last week.  I actually got a pedicure last week.  I literally hadn't had one for more than a year.  That's sad. Don't get me wrong, I did my own feet and always have.  But it was much needed this pedicure.  I tried hard not to kick the girl in the face because yes, I'm so ticklish.

Anyway, the color I got, I was debating over. I wasn't sure it would look good on my skin because I get the red around the nails after a while, and while not so much on my feet, but I was nervous.  Anyway, I ended up going for the color my eyes were set on, OPI's Skull and Glossbones.

I can't even describe this color appropriately, but it's from the Pirates of the Caribbean color theme they had.  It's like a light gray. 

But in most of the pics you see when you google image it, or when you see the bottle alone, it doesn't show the color as close to what it really is.  This was the best google image picture I found to describe what the color looks like to/on me:

And even still, a little bit lighter than what this picture portrays.  Anyhow, look at all the variations.  This color will work in ANY season.  I really love it.

Show and Tell

I had a all-of-a-sudden horrible migraine at work today.  It was one of the worsts I've ever had, it was almost embarrassing how painful it was and how non-functional I was for like 30 minutes (I work at a pain doctor and luckily, they helped me out with some meds).  I had a cute outfit I wanted to share, but since I look like hell, I'll do a show and tell with a few things I have recently bought (because I'm psychotic and buy things when I don't have much money).


First, 3 vintage aprons I found on ebay for $10.  I have been wanting an apron for a while, and though they aren't the full size kind I wanted, I still thought they were totally cute.  Maybe I will just resell them sometime.

The last one is my least favorite, although it is reversible, the pocket is on the inside the way I am wearing it in the pic.  Also, yes, I am wearing shorts underneath.  Now that I think about it, what's the point of skirt aprons?

Close up.  The middle is my favorite, and the last is cute for the holidays.  I guess the first is cool for Thanksgiving.

Next, is the nail polish I have had my eyes on for a long time, since I saw it on Sweet Glow Beauty on the left.  It's called "Read My Palm" from Sephora (by OPI).  But then I saw the gold on in the store and loovveedd it too!  It's called "Rumba Romance."  The picture does NOT do either of them justice!  The gold is more of a sparkly goldish-bronze.

And the green is a gorgeous green, not too minty, not too green...I don't really know how to describe it, but it's pretty similar to the greenish turquoise stone on my ring.  I think it's a color that would look great on all skin tones.

Enjoy! Don't forget about the giveaway!  Tomorrow's the last day and you have nothing to lose.

Nail Painting

I never paint my nails, I always keep them long.  In fact,  I may get them done once a year with my tax money, if anything.  But due to Sweet Glow Beauty and all the cute Mini OPI nailpolishes on there, I decided to stop being a lezbo and start doing my nails.  I fell in love with the charcoal color, and I am quite happy with it!  Here it is:

The color came in a 4 pack mini, that I got from Trade Secret for like $12 bucks I think?  It's called DeLites to Dark and came with a nude pink color (Bubble Bath), a mauve-ish color (Aphrodite's Pink Nightie), a brighter burgundy/purple (Manicurist of Seville), and the charcoal, called "Baby It's 'Coal' Outside!" Love it!  I am def gonna start painting my nails more often :)
