Foie Gras and Gold Glitter Nails

 So, nail polish. I'm still obsessed with it. And it's only been a little over four years. I am so fickle when it comes to hobbies and tend to abandon them all pretty quickly. Nail polish is the one thing I've stuck with in my life. When I think about it, it's such a funny thing to have as a hobby, but I love it. :)

This mani caused the most compliments/comments I've ever gotten on my nails. I say comments and not just compliments because there are always those people who say things like, "Wow, that sure is bright" or "That glitter really stands out" and you know they absolutely HATE what you're wearing. Haha. I don't care though; it makes me happy!

This is one coat of Sally Girl Later (gold glitter) over 2 or 3 coats (can't remember!) of China Glaze Foie Gras.

The gold glitter! It's so blinding! Seriously though, if you have a Sally Beauty Supply near you, you need to pick up this little guy. Yes, the bottle is TINY, but at only 99 cents it's affordable to get an extra bottle or two. Or three. And this was only ONE COAT of the glitter. No fishing around for glitter or dabbing the glitter on for this one.

Getting Buried Alive Is Totally Worth It With This Orly Polish

Ugh, I'm sorry guys. I've been such a terrible blogger. I don't know how I used to manage to post every day AND go to school full time. School takes more time than working because you have homework, studying, papers, etc. And I'm only working part time now and it feels like I have no time! 95% of my makeup and nail polish is still at my ex's house, so that puts a huge damper on my creativity. The amount I do have here is still way more than what most people own, but I'm used to more choices! I feel stifled with "only" 7 blushes to choose from. Haha.

I'm still buying nail polish and makeup and it's slowly adding up. When I finally do get all my stuff back I need to do a MAJOR de-stash and hopefully have a blog sale or something.

Has anyone seen the new movie directed by Tim Burton with Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter? Maybe I should be more specific since that previous sentence describes like 10 movies, haha. The Dark Shadows one? I haven't and I'm not so sure I want to. I usually love the Burton/Depp combo but it almost seems like it's starting to feel a bit, dare I say, stale and overdone?

I wasn't too excited by Orly's new collection inspired by Dark Shadows either. 2 colors were renamed and re-released from previous collections (which is kinda annoying) and a third was a boring red creme. But the fourth one caught my eye. I don't normally do browns but this one, Buried Alive, seemed so glowly and gorgeous I had to get it. What do you guys think?

I'm so bad; I don't remember how many coats this was. It was either 2 or 3 (I'm guessing 2) but it covered well and wasn't thick or streaky.
