<br />
In short, I am a really bad blogger. I fully recognize how much I suck at being committed to a regular schedule. I really should be able to make this a once-a-week blog, and I don't really have a satisfactory excuse for not being able to do that. I don't want to just abandon this blog, but for some reason it's just really hard for me to keep up with. And it's hard for me to keep up with all of you guys' blogs too, which I hate because I really want to be able to check them all!<br />
<br />
I was out of town for spring break (skiing in Colorado!) which was a lot of fun except I had no reception. I'm following 100+ blogs which is a loooot to keep up with if I can't check in every single day, which is getting to be an impossibility. Also, I've heard that Google Reader is disappearing July 1st? Can anyone tell me why and what alternatives are out there?<br />
<br />
Anyway, I've got some things from <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/">Born Pretty Store</a> to review for you so I'll show you one of them today.<br />
<br />
I've always wanted to try those cool dried flowers so I really wanted to review <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/colors-ubique-dried-flower-nail-design-p-3809.html">these flowers</a> because they had a nice variety.<br />
<br />
I started with <b>OPI My Pointe Exactly</b> which is quite sheer, so I used four coats. Then I topped it with <b>Finger Paints Flecked</b>, a blue-green flakie. Then I put one of the turquoise flowers on my ring finger.<br />

I really like it, I think it looks really nice! Unfortunately I went out grocery shopping later in the day and I think all the layers hadn't dried fully, and I banged my ring finger and the flower tore and it all wrinkled up. :( Which was unfortunate but no fault of the product. So I would give this a positive review! I think it looks really nice. </div>

I've got another product from Born Pretty that I need to review, so I'll make a Herculean effort to get that up next weekend. I'm really going to try to get on a weekly schedule and I hope I can muster up the commitment to do that! I hate being a fair-weather blogger so I promise I'll try harder if you'll still have me. :)</div>

Once again sorry for disappearing for a while, I have just had an absolutely massive workload lately but I've got a spare minute so I thought I'd show you what's on my nails right now. They've actually been unpolished for the past week (gasp!) but I got around to painting them last night! It's two coats of L'oreal Safari Chic and one coat of Zoya Apple. I also got some super cool henna yesterday so it looks twice as awesome! I hope you're all doing well and hopefully I'll get around to posting again soon! :)<br />

Sorry for disappearing again, I might have gotten reeeallly obsessed with watching every season of Supernatural in about three weeks? Good news is, I'm all caught up and I've discovered that I can mobile blog! Which is nice because it saves me the trouble of needing my camera and having to plug it in and upload pics because now I can do it all from my phone. So consider this a test run. I have no idea how this is going to end up looking so bear with me. There's only one photo with this post. Can you guys tell me if it all looks all right? I really hope this works! It's Essie Midnight Cami with Essie Shine of the Times on top. <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7KBA4BWIb4Hl0iZ6cZemvfNkdTmPU68CygfjuL7Fde2JbWxkIEPd4bZWimvzs9uR4tCQm0FnQGDEEvQzfHOCCH1oUYCIgghIylYnGGU36wWC8vGk7RBPwz0mCfvdH6FOHhsjk-hAXGz51/s640/blogger-image--621607263.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7KBA4BWIb4Hl0iZ6cZemvfNkdTmPU68CygfjuL7Fde2JbWxkIEPd4bZWimvzs9uR4tCQm0FnQGDEEvQzfHOCCH1oUYCIgghIylYnGGU36wWC8vGk7RBPwz0mCfvdH6FOHhsjk-hAXGz51/s640/blogger-image--621607263.jpg" /></a></div>Laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16537477237007169556noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3938872806661022095.post-89758479856314716452012-12-30T13:24:00.001-06:002012-12-30T13:24:40.338-06:00Lynnderella Snow Angel<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

How gorgeous! This was a while ago, but I'm pretty sure this is one coat of <b>Snow Angel</b> over <b>OPI I Vant To Be A-Lone Star. </b>This is one of the most unique polishes I own! How did you guys fare over Christmas, if you celebrate? I got a few polishes myself that I can't wait to show you! I hope you're all well, I kind of feel like I'm talking to myself. I have to apologize for my extended unexplained absence, and I really don't have a good reason to justify it. Things got a little busy and stressful for a while, and after life had settled down I had been gone for so long that I felt guilty and I wasn't sure if I would be welcome back, so I just stayed away. But I'm hoping you'll all forgive me and I can get back into the swing of this whole blogging thing. :)<br />

This is my first time trying anything from <a href="http://bornprettystore.com/">Born Pretty Store</a> and I was really excited! I chose <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/gold-square-stud-rhinestone-acrylic-nail-p-2860.html">these super awesome nail studs</a> because I've been really into studs lately and it seemed like the perfect opportunity to try them out!</div>

The base is two coats of <b>OPI Nein! Nein! Nein! OK Fine! </b>which is a lovely dark gray with a slight greenish cast. I just put a layer of topcoat on and then used a pair of tweezers to place the studs on the base of my nails and stick them on. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I really loved the studs! I thought they looked great especially with the dark gray, and they instantly made my nails look a lot cooler and more interesting. They stayed on pretty well, too. I even washed my hair and although some of them did pop off, I was surprised that most of them managed to stay put! Obviously they do stick up but that's kind of impossible to get around since they're nail studs, so it's not an issue as long as you remember not to pick at your nails. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The package did come with plenty of studs and I'm sure they'll last me a while! They were all snug in a bubble mailer when they arrived. Overall I'm quite satisfied with this product and would absolutely recommend them! </div>

Well! It's been a while, hasn't it? I've missed all of your lovely shining faces. It's taken me a while to get myself together, but I've got a spare minute and I thought that I'd try to ease myself back into this whole blogging thing.</div>

Thanks to <a href="http://polishartaddiction.blogspot.com/">Leslie</a> for helping me with the photo problem, I owe you one! Hopefully you all don't hate me now and still want to see some nail stuff. I thought I'd show you some of the manis that I've done since I've been away.</div>

I was going to make a post with a bunch of the manis that I've done over the time that I've been gone, except when I tried to upload photos it said that I didn't have enough storage space? Apparently I've filled 99% of my Picasa space and 20% of my gmail space. I don't even know what that means. I don't have Picasa downloaded so I'm not sure how I've used any of it so I don't know how to empty it out. Can anyone help? I'd really like to get back in the blogging game but there's no way I'm paying for extra storage!Laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16537477237007169556noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3938872806661022095.post-90574857815424388652012-11-21T16:35:00.001-06:002012-11-21T16:35:09.393-06:00Is anyone out there?Or have I been gone too long...Laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16537477237007169556noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3938872806661022095.post-66858424486592188182012-06-09T18:51:00.000-05:002012-06-09T18:51:01.450-05:00Lynnderella Snow Angel<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
All right everyone! How are we today? Well, I hope?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For my first nail post since returning from my hiatus, I've decided to show you guys a stunner. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The lovely <a href="http://www.polish-amor.com/">Polish Amor</a> gifted me a decant of <b>Lynnderella's Snow Angel</b>, and I decided now was the perfect time to show it off to you guys! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I started with <b>OPI I Vant to Be A-Lone Star </b>as the base.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Then I applied two dreamy coats of <b>Snow Angel</b> on top and proceeded to take far too many pictures.<br />

Wow, my nails are longer than I remembered! I've cut them down much shorter now. Anyway, as you can see, <b>Snow Angel </b>is completely gorgeous and I just love-love-LOOOVE it! It's so delicate and it makes visions of sugarplum fairies dance in my head. Many thanks to Iris for graciously sharing this beauty with me!<br />
<br />
Okay guys, what have I missed in nail world? As you can probably tell I haven't really been keeping up with things, I need to get back into commenting on all of your wonderful blogs and being in the know! Fill me in, peeps!Laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16537477237007169556noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3938872806661022095.post-29949736069642296732012-06-04T20:51:00.000-05:002012-06-04T20:51:01.773-05:00Long time, no see!Well howdy folks! Feels like it's been longer than a month! I told you I was planning to come back, and here I am. Unfortunately I've got a cold and terrible cramps, so it'll still probably be a few more days before I get any nail pics up, but I just wanted to let you know that I'm still alive and I haven't forgotten about you.<br />
<br />
Aaand also... I broke my camera. I have an extensive backlog of pics so I should be able to post for a while without problems, but obviously I'm going to need a functional camera to keep going forward, but I'll tackle that problem when I have to.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I just wanted to say I love you all and I miss you and I will be back by the end of this week, I PROMISE. How have you all been? What have I missed? I wanna know errrrythaaaang!<br />
<br />
Here's a little something as a reward for sticking with me.<br />

I've been pretty bad at posting lately, as I think we can all agree. For some reason I've just not been feeling very motivated lately and it's hard to try posting almost every day. I feel like I've been kind of losing steam because I feel obligated to post as much as possible and I never feel like doing any interesting nail art or stamping or anything. I know I'm probably boring you guys and I feel like I'm not really that funny anymore, for some reason things don't just occur to me. This blog has kind of turned into work. Not because I don't enjoy painting my nails, and not because I don't like you guys, because I do. I'm just kind of busy with school lately and this blog is definitely just adding to my stress load because I feel guilty whenever I don't post here, so I just make some stupid little post that's really not that interesting with some polish that I wore a million years ago and it's kind of lame and I'm definitely not as awesome as a bunch of other great bloggers who have really entertaining, informative posts and post regularly unlike myself.<br />
<br />
Also, I have gotten waaaaaaay behind on all of you guys' blogposts. I just checked and I have exactly 500 posts in my Google reader. I don't know if I'll manage to catch up on all of them so forgive me if I haven't commented in a while. The more behind I get, the less I want to catch up because I feel so guilty for not commenting on all you guys' stuff because I am a horrible blogger and you all deserve better.<br />
<br />
So... I think what I'm trying to say is, I'm not really sure where I stand right now with continuing this blog. I don't want to just quit because it is something that I used to enjoy, it's just lately that it's been causing me stress. I'm thinking I'll take a break until the end of May/the beginning of June so that I can just relax and focus on school. I'll try to catch up on your posts and I'll keep commenting on all your blogs, I just won't be posting here. Maybe every once in a while, if I'm not too busy and I feel like it then I'll post but it'll probably be infrequent and random. And you can always give me a holla if you want to chat, you know.<br />
<br />
Anyway... in conclusion, I love you all and I do plan to come back! I won't just leave you hangin', I promise.Laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16537477237007169556noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3938872806661022095.post-37782917560212401642012-04-25T19:54:00.002-05:002012-04-25T19:54:42.504-05:00Sephora + OPI ILLY<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

o hai kitteh<br />
<br />
This is 2 coats of a nice Sephora polish that I got cheap in a 3-pack, I'm not sure what it's called. It's a purple foil that's nearly opaque in one coat, but I did two for good measure. The formula was absolutely lovely, although the brush is rather large and wide and paddle-like which was unpleasant but not impossible.<br />
<br />
And then I slapped on two coats of <b>OPI I Lily Love You </b>which I haven't used in a while, so I felt like it could use some love.<br />

Today I've got a mani that I've seen a few times around the blogosphere, and it started with <b>OPI Cajun Shrimp. </b>Then I used a black nail art pen to outline my nails all around the edges. The pen cracked a little bit as it dried, but you get the idea.</div>

Unfortunately my nails are ridiculously curvy so it's kind of hard to see the outlining on the edges sometimes, but I like this idea overall! It's pretty cool and I like the red-and-black combo. </div>

At least everything I got from it. Today's mani begins with <strong>Smoke and Ashes</strong>, which represents district 12.<br />

Wow I'm really feeling like I should do a reswatch of this because this looks like poop compared to the actual thing. This is two coats of <strong>Smoke and Ashes</strong>, which is a black polish with loads of blue/green/gold? shimmer. It's very nice and I like it a lot.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now I also picked up <strong>Luxe and Lush </strong>so I decided to try it on top of <strong>Smoke and Ashes</strong>.</div>

<strong>Luxe and Lush </strong>is the type of flakie topcoat that has the broken mirror sort of look, the edges are more jagged and sharp looking and it doesn't lie as flat as most flakies. The formula wasn't the best and it was kind of hard to get the distribution right but with a little adjustment all was well. I'd like to try this one over a wider variety of colors as well, I'm sure there are many interesting possibilities out there! Have you guys tried any cool combos with <strong>Luxe and Lush? </strong>Have any suggestions for me? I'm all ears!<strong></strong></div>Laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16537477237007169556noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3938872806661022095.post-80867171315106555602012-04-20T19:45:00.000-05:002012-04-20T19:45:00.479-05:00China Glaze RivetingOookay so Blogger has a completely new layout from my side of things and it is a whole different animal, so if things look a little strange I must ask your forgiveness!

This is two coats. <strong>Riveting </strong>is a bright, vivid orange jelly with lots of gold shimmer. It's extremely eye-catching and vivacious, I really like it! I used to really hate orange polish because it makes me look like a zombie, and you should all know by now that I have a legitimate, crippling fear of zombies and therefore I avoided orange polish like last season's Ugg boots. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But, I have been slowly coming around and easing myself into orange polish with beauties like this one. <strong>Riveting </strong>is absolutely wonderful and doesn't make me look like a zombie at all. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The formula was absolutely dreamy. I give <strong>Riveting </strong>a resounding A+!</div>

<br />
So I like having these contests. You guys are great and I want to reward you for being wonderful followers and I just love you all so much. I want you guys to be able to vote and have this be anonymous so it can be as fair as possible. The reason that I'm hesitant about declaring the winner myself is because I don't want anyone to think I'm picking favorites, I want this to be up to you guys since I'm doing it all for you.<br />
<br />
And so when I get around 200 votes for this contest, and 200 are for one name, I try not to be suspicious. But when they're all in huge chunks and the timestamp is seconds apart, it makes me mad. <br />
<br />
This rant is not for all of you. This rant is for the one of you who made up over 50 fake emails in order to manipulate this contest. I'm not going to call you out because you know who you are and I hope you're ashamed. I can't believe you thought I would be stupid enough not to get wary when I saw how you were winning by a landslide. <br />
<br />
Honestly I had expected a lot more integrity, I'm surprised anyone would be so blatantly deceptive and manipulative, and I hope I never run into this problem again in the future. I will be much more hesitant when it comes to contests and voting. In any contests I ever have later on, I will probably be picking all the winners myself because I don't want this to happen again.<br />
<br />
I emailed every single address that was entered and when I started noticing that all of the ones that returned errors had voted for a certain name, I decided to save myself some trouble and invalidate that person entirely. I hope you're happy, because you did this to yourself. You probably did the same thing to get past the first round of voting, and you took some other honest person's spot. Please do not ever come back to my blog again. <br />

This is two coats of <strong>Kristen </strong>followed by one of <strong>As Gold As It Gets. </strong>I love the subtle, antiqued effect, it's so delicate and pretty. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">All right everyone, two things I want to ask about.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">1. Would you care sharing the links to your favorite indie polish brands? I've been itching to get some lately, and Ninja Polish is always sold out. Stuff like NerdLacquer and Lacquerized, and there's so many others I can't think of right now. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">2. I have gotten a freaking bajillion votes for the contest and the vast majority are for one name. By vast majority I mean no one else is even remotely close, which gives me slight pause. I'm going to send a verification email to all of the addresses that were entered in the voting just to check things out since I want this to be as fair as possible. Just a heads up in the interest of full disclosure! The winner will be announced tomorrow.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

This is 2 coats. <strong>Stone Cold </strong>is a black polish with a whole bunch of lovely silver microglitter. It is really very pretty and the shimmer seems to break into a bunch of different colors in bright sun when you look closely.<br />
<br />
The formula was absolutely dreamy, so lovely!<br />
<br />
It dries matte, so I naturally had to see how it looked shiny.<br />

OMG is it just me or is it even awesomer? So pretty! Matte is cool and all, but I just can't stand to see beautiful shimmer go to waste like this! It is so amazing in the sun, even better than it looks in pictures. <br />
<br />
Have you guys seen the Hunger Games? I went to the midnight premiere. It was pretty good, I thought, but not as amazing as I was hoping for it to be. Elizabeth Banks and Stanley Tucci were definitely my favorites acting-wise, they were both wonderful. Jennifer Lawrence was good too, I just personally don't like Katniss very much. But from what I've seen of her in interviews I want to be her best friend, ugh she's so awesome.<br />
<br />
Oh, and also, this literally made me LOL:<br />

I hope you've all had a wonderful Easter. I, for one, am stuffed to the brim and probably won't be eating again until sometime around November.

Ahh I really love this one. I don't think my pictures do it justice... I'll have to do a reswatch and get it outside in the sun. I am very happy to have this beautiful gem in my collection!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">2 coats. <strong>Naughty </strong>is a lovely dusty, mushroomy, purple-tinged taupe with some great purple shimmer. It is supposedly a re-release of <strong>Revlon Perplex</strong>, which is the infamous dupe of <strong>Chanel Paradoxal.</strong></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><strong>Naughty </strong>has a wonderful formula, it's nice and smooth and gorgeous and the color is really wonderful. I love it, I have absolutely nothing like it! The way the shimmer peeks out behind the smoky base... ahh! Beautiful!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

I'm really coming to think that British musicians are just so much better than American ones that we have no hope of catching up.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This is one coat of <strong>Color Club Jingle Jangle </strong>over one of the old Urban Outfitters polishes that they don't sell anymore. It's a nice blurple. <strong>Jingle Jangle </strong>is soooo pretty, it's fully of tiny blue and lavender hexes and it's absolutely gorgeous! I really love the combination, they're so pretty together. Blurple is just a really great color. It's my second favorite, right after turquoise. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So whaddup dawgs this whole contest thing is highly overrated and I do not recommend it lol. I always forget something... I should have asked you for your emails when voting because yeah when I get three responses that are exactly identical right in a row... it looks a little suspicious aight.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">ALL RIGHT I'M DONE NOW sorry when I get on a roll like this it's kind of hard to stop sometimes.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"></div>Laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16537477237007169556noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3938872806661022095.post-84901894806811449962012-04-01T19:45:00.000-05:002012-04-01T19:45:00.703-05:00And the Voting Begins!All right guys! I got a total of 121 names entered in this contest which is completely insane and a lot more than I expected. I asked if you guys would be okay with me paring the number of names down since 121 is a lot to vote on, and everyone who responded said yes, that would be fine. So I narrowed it down to 60 names just because I couldn't go any further than that since I already felt bad about chopping off so many people from the competition.<br />
<br />
Now I know 60 names is still a lot to vote on so I'm going to divide them up into groups of ten, and you guys can just vote for your favorite out of each group. Then I'll put the 6 winners up in a final poll and whichever name wins that one will be the grand prize winner. We all good? Okay good.<br />
<br />
Here is the franken once again so that you know what you're naming.<br />

Aaand now to what we have to discuss.<br />
<br />
1. I have gotten a carpload of entries for the contest. Like... probably around 100 or so. Which is kind of a heck of a lot of names to vote on. So I was wondering, would you guys mind if I narrowed it down to like a top 50 or something? Maybe even less? I just don't know what would be best... or I could let you guys vote on names in groups and then have a final vote with the winners from all of the sections. If you have any suggestions on how to make this easier, please do share! I would really appreciate it.<br />
<br />
2. So I kind of completely forgot my blogaversary... It was the 28th! I don't really have time to reflect on things right now but YOU ALL DESERVE A ROUND OF APPLAUSE<br />
