Orly - Cashmere Cardigan

Small change in plans, folks!

Sorry but I've had an allergic reaction to something in BYS's Prima Ballerina (it supposedly doesn't have any formaldehyde/ formaldehyde resin/formalin in it, but I'm getting a reaction the same as f. resin), so I've had to suspend any swatching until my fingers recover. Bleeding cuticles aren't going to be "in" ever - although I'm sure Debbie Lippmann will have a good go one year at telling us they are! ;)

So here's one from the vaults that I just never got around to posting. It's pretty much a staple in every nail polish nut's helmer, but it bears repeating. Orly's "Cashmere Cardigan"...

These pics were taken about a year ago - hard to believe my nails were ever as long as that now. Time to get out the world's smallest violin again and play a dirge...


Oh, how I love this polish. Such a pleasure to apply - two coats is all you need and it's perfection. Such a pity Orly want almost $20 a bottle for this stuff in Oz. If you're a smart bunny (or savvy gerbil) you'll do what we all do and just buy it on ebay ;)




Oh, look - the sun! I remember that!

Sigh. Long nails - you will be mine again some day.
Oh, yes - you will be mine...

T-minus two and a half weeks till the London trip, btw. Dun-dun-duuunh!

Today's News


So, something exciting happened to me today!! I was interviewed for the Today Show website! SO exciting, I never would have imagined that anything of that magnitude would EVER happen to me!! In honor of the article, I decided to do the Today Show logo on my nails!


I used OPI Alpine Snow Matte as a base, with Nubar Sexy Red for the red, CND Electric Orange for the darker orange, Zoya Jancyn for the lighter orange, and CND Bicycle Yellow for the yellow. Topped everything off with 2 coats of Seche Vite top coat.

Woo!!! I'm soooo stoked! Thanks to all of YOU for being such great readers, and WELCOME to the new readers!!! :) You kick ass!! (and not the kind from yesterday's manicure)
