Who Run The World (Girls)

Oh, hello blog reader! (Love you.)

I just received the Who Run The World (Girls) set by Deborah Lippmann (I know, you're thinking "it's a bit late for swatches of this blog lady", but I was excited). I always wait to buy new things because I try to convince myself I don't need them, then I buy them anyways. Pointless.

Anyways, this set contains 5 polishes: I Kissed A Girl, It Girl, Hollaback Girl, Nasty Girl, and Party Girl. They're neon, demi-matte polishes that were difficult to maneuver. I have 3 coats on each nail and am still not sold. The polishes themselves are very sheer (especially the yellow, which looks like pee). It might be the demi-matte finish that robs the polish of its potential. I put it over CND Stickey but I don't mind if it chips...

Overall, I love I Kissed A Girl and Party Girl. I strongly dislike It Girl, as far as yellows go, this one is one of the ugliest I have ever seen. I wanted more of a bright, highlighter yellow than a dingy one.

My ring finger looks janky, my bad.

Also, now I will never be able to get the Beyonce song out of my head. Mediocre manicure, AWFUL song. See you back soon, my lovely polished ladies!

EDIT: This is now the Dexter hand manicure. 

First Post and Vampy, Glittery Goodness

This is the first post of my blog! It's exciting and also a bit intimidating. So hello (if anyone may happen to read my blog, ever. If you are reading it - YOU ARE AWESOME!)

For my first trick, I present my favorite manicure to date. It is Essie's Devil's Advocate with Essie's A Cut Above Luxe Effects on the ring fingers. If you are also interested, I use CND Sticky as a base coat and Seche Vite for my top coat.  Ohhhh Seche Vite, you're so original blog Lady. I know, but it's seriously awesome.

Essie's Devil's Advocate paints beautifully (I know some people have problems with Essie, but this formula is rad). I used 2 coats for this mani. It's vampy goodness and the Luxe Effects just adds a pop of fun to which would otherwise be a pretty serious mani.

I am not a photographer, nor do I have the best camera. I have also included, for your enjoyment, a video of my awkward pinky. Yes, ladies, my pinky is crooked and I feel silly trying to get it to line up.

This is one of those "maybe it's black, maybe it's purple" colors.

Ok, so Tyra needs to teach me "pretty hands". 

And the pièce de résistance, my awkward pinky. 

There we go, my first blog post. Whew, that sure was a hoot. Please visit again, my lovely polished ladies!
