We’re doin’ the Humpty Hump
Yea! It’s hump day, which means the rest of the week is all gravy from here.
Speaking of Tabs, he just got a new side job as an investigative fashion journalist. He starts next week, and he really wants to look the part…
What do you think of this hat? Does it say “I’m a serious kitty journalist” to you?
The Tweed Newsboy Kitty Cap from the CatAtelier Etsy shop
I don’t know if I’m ready to spend $68 on a hat for my cat, but if Tabs promises to pay for them out of his first paycheck…
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
Mishel says
This looks great! What do u think is the Must have for this collection?
Karen says
The green and blue nail polishes, for sure!
Chris25 says
You know I loves me some kohl pencils. 🙂
Speaking of kohl, I’ve been collecting Indian and Middle Eastern kajals. I just got in the mail a Blue Heaven kajal. The case it comes in is so pretty!
Karen says
How cool. I love the name!
Trisha says
OMG, those kohl liners are awesome. I’d love to try all of them.
Cassy says
I think that hat should be saved for when Tabs gets promoted to Vice President of kitty investigative journalism. A little too expensive for someone (somekitty?) on a newbie salary, though.
Naomi says
Love the khol liners, especially peacock and dahlia!!!
caitlin says
WOOOOOWWW.. I can match my eyeliner to my nail polish 🙂 I’ve had my eyes on that Wild Green nail lacquer since I got my first peek at the D&G Spring 2012 a couple of months ago. So glad I’ll finally be able to get my hands on it… or get it on my hands! Hah. D&G make-up is something I always dream of getting but am lightyears away from actually being able to afford.. (I will definitely be splurging on that nail polish, though, I think – unless there’s some high quality dupe out there for less)
snoopysteph says
I want that quad! Love those colors!
Karen says
It’s a great quad for pale gals who wear cool tones well, especially. You might remember it from holiday, when they released the Ruby version:

Lilit says
Oh my, the eyeshadow quad does look divine! Can’t wait to see how it looks on. And it’s Thursday in Australia now, we’ve passed the hump day and it’s all a nice smooth downhill ride to weekend-town 🙂
Karen says
Hi Lilit,
I reviewed it a while back. Here’s a link to the post with some swatches!

Nina says
happy hump-sick-day! i stayed home today due to stomach cramps … 🙂
Karen says
Oh no. Are you feeling better?
Nina says
slightly…. i have to go back to work tomorrow because i have a deadline so i gotta be better!!!
Karen says
Wah! Well, I hope you’re feeling better. 🙂
Nina says
kinda sorta. 🙂 maybe a target run will cheer me up!
gio says
The Kohl Liners look very pretty!
Karen says
Yes they are!
Maria says
I want the Wild Green and Peacock nail lacquers – so hot!!
Karen says
They’re both REALLY nice. Super pigmented, shiny and they dry relatively fast!
Neeraj says
what a lovely collection…that green nail polish is wicked…hail Pat McGrath…
Btw I have heard that anything with name Stromboli is a must-buy……is it the same with ‘Dahlia’
Karen says
Yup. They have a Stromboli liner that I love!
Chelsea says
I never paint my nails, but the colors are amaaazing. I love the colors of the eyeliners too.
I don’t know about Tabs, but my cat would probably scratch my face off if I tried to put a hat on him. I used to try to put hats on my bunny, but his ears get in the way.
Karen says
They are pretty amazing — so pigmented and smooth!
Tabs is pretty easy going, so I think he’d be cool with wearing a hat for a while. I just hope it fits his head, since it’s pretty big, LOL!
Napier My says
Dahlia looks awesome. I should try it out.
Btw, your cat is so cute. I’d totally do the same thing for my cat haha.
Karen says
Thanks! His name is Tabs and he rules my life, LOL!
How long have you and your kitty been together?
Heidi says
I’m a sucker for green nail polish, purple eye liner, and neutral shadows, so this collection really speaks to me.
I think that cap would be quite fetching on Tabs. Missy agrees.
Karen says
I will let Tabs know. He quite admires Missy as a fashion icon, you know!
So… when you get your new job (thinking positive here), you’ll have to treat yourself to that green polish! It’s kind of amazing.
steph b says
Dhalia looks all kinds of awesome!
Karen says
It’s super moody, rich and dark! I love it. Should be great on toes!
Sunny @ Mostly Sunny says
Ah Dahlia, you’re irresistible! Can’t wait for your review!
The cap is seriously amazing. You should buy one for Tabs Karen!!!
Karen says
I KNOW! It’s $70 though. I don’t know if I’m cat lady enough for that quite yet.
Sam says
OoOoOoOohhhh the black and white look super pigmented. I can’t wait to hear what you have to say about them, I hope they set well and last a long time!
Karen says
I will test them tomorrow (hopefully). They’re SUPER soft!
peach_ says
I love that D&G went for darker colors for Spring! What a rebel!
corallista says
The liners look great!
Lola says
I love the shadow quad. The colors are gorgeous! Too bad its a little over my budget 😛
Kim says
Holy POW on the peacock! Those are definitely some intense colors. The whole line appeals to me, especially the polishes. It’s time to accept that I’m old and boring. Can I say “conservative or traditional” instead? 🙂
Btw, I totally laughed at the beatnik kitty turtleneck in the picture. I keep going to back to it and giggling. The hat is super-cute, too. I might have paired that top with a beret instead, though. 🙂
Karen says
I wore the polishes yesterday for a total of two hours and holy pigment, Batman! If you get one be sure to wear a base coat, because they stain. Which color is your fave, btw?
I love, LOVE that pic of beatnik kitty. 🙂 I think that cat is an Abyssinian? I’m sort of obsessed with it (don’t tell Tabs).
What have you been up to lately? Things here have been same-o, same-o.
Kim says
Thanks! I definitely will! I really liked peacock and dahlia, but chocolate is beautiful, too. I usually reserve my dark colors for my toenails and it’s getting to be that time. Well, we have a couple of months but it’s sunny today so I’m hopeful. 🙂
Your secret is totally safe with me. I’m crazy about Russian Blues and kitties that have markings like bobcats, but I don’t mention that to my 3 lovelies at home.
I had a surprise trip to Denver last week so it’s been a bit crazy. The boys’ b’day was last Sunday and I finally picked up drinks and snacks for them to bring to school today. The Hubs will be out of town next week for work, so the frenzy continues. 🙂 Do you have any movie plans? Did you watch the premiere of The River this week?
Karo says
wow wow wow!
I love all of this Nail Polishes! <3
vanessa says
gorgeous packaging… too bad it is expensive.. 🙁
Rozae says
‘True Black’ is so black, the blackest I’ve seen, but Karen how well does it hold on oily eye lids?
Valerie Boucher says
how similar would you say the Wild Green nail polish is to Butter London’s British Racing Green?
