Happy Saturday, girls. I’m lucky enough to live close to my parents, so tomorrow I’m heading home to visit my mom for Mother’s Day. I thought it might be fun if she and I painted our nails a matching color. Here’s the twist: I would like it to be a slightly obnoxious color, so her yoga friends at the senior center can ask her about it (”Girl, I saw those nails from across the room while I was mid-downward dog!”).
Earlier this week, I painted my nails L8R G8R, a green shade from China Glaze’s OMG Text in Colour 2BHot collection. This weekend, just to switch it up, I think mom might like to rock one of China Glaze’s six cool, shimmery shades from the 2BKEWL collection ($27 for the entire set).
I’m trying to decide among…
OMG (Oh my gawd)- holographic grey with rainbow shimmer
2NITE (Tonight) - holographic blue
IDK (I don’t know) - holographic violet
BFF (Best friends forever) - holographic purple-blue
LOL (Laugh out loud) - holographic dark purple
DV8 (Deviate) - holographic teal
I’m leaning toward DV8, but I think all of them are pretty.
OMG

2NITE

IDK

BFF

LOL

DV8

I hope your weekend is off to a good start. What’s on your agenda today?
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen

Happy Saturday!

Hi Glosslizard and Megan,
Thanks for your comments earlier - there were some issues with the code and somehow in the process of fixing the post I lost ‘em all, pooh! I just wanted to let you guys know that they weren’t deleted on purpose, it was accidental.
Hope ya’ll are having a good Saturday.

I love DV8!!! I might need that!
May 10th, 2008 at 8:30 pm
OMG reminds me of the metallic shiny dresses often seen on a stripper!!! Oddly enough I like it

IDK is really nice. Overall, I am more impressed by the 2BHOT collection as compared to the 2BKEWL collection.

Oh so pretty, I love nail polish but after a day I have this habit of picking at them and not liking them on my nails anymore and so I have to remove it quickly… kinda crazy I know, so I swore not to buy anymore nail polish, but these look really pretty/cool… I tempted to get some and I really like LOL, maybe cuz Im in a “purple phase” right now. By the way, thanks for your input on Shore Leave comparasion to NextToNothing, I havent used Shore Leave yet cuz I’m weird like that, I think I’ll wait for the Neo Sci Fi collection to decide whether I want it or not

I like BFF, I think it’s appropriate for both of you. It’s cute that you and your mom are doing the matching mani-pedi thing. My 2nd choice would be OMG because I like white nail polish

Hi Makeuplovesme,
Girl! I know! They’re kinda crazy but they are fun.

Hi Erin,
It’s so fun! I usually don’t wear bright teal blues but I really like it.
How’s your weekend been?
May 11th, 2008 at 11:43 am
Hi Meaghan,
I like it too! I didn’t think I would when I saw it in the bottle but now I’m really feeling all the crazy, bright colors. Must be beacause summer is right around the corner. Have you had a good weekend so far?

Hi Mis QQ,
I think the 2BHOT collection is slightly more wearable. If I was working in a conservative environment I could prolly get away with those shades more than these.
Are you a bright nail polish kinda girl?
May 11th, 2008 at 11:43 am
Hi Fia,
I am SO EXCITED about Neo Sci Fi, you don’t even know! I really like the colors and they look very wearable to me.
What top coat are you using for your nails? Have you ever tried Seche Vite? I swear it’s the BEST top coat out there and it makes your polish stay on forever.

Hi Nikki,
DV8 is hot, I agree. Hope you’re having a good one!
May 11th, 2008 at 11:43 am
Hi Dao,
I like white nail polish too, especially for summer.
I will have to get through this crazy colors phase first!

I’m drawn to 2NITE and DV8. If they have those at Ulta, Imma take them home with my 20% off coupon. Haha!
May 12th, 2008 at 4:09 am
OMG all the colours are fab!! I especially liked the Dv8 and 2nite! So what colour did you eventually choose?

Hi Karen, you are right. I think I’m more impressed by the 2BHOT collection because I can picture myself more with those colours.
Bright nail polish - for my toes only, not fingers. Cannot risk causing headaches to my colleagues while I’m typing away. =P
May 13th, 2008 at 3:39 pm
Ohhh these are gorgeous! Deviate is my favorite!
May 17th, 2008 at 9:48 pm
Hi Lehea,
I hope you found ‘em at Ulta. I’ve heard they are quite difficult to find, but I’ll keep my fingers crossed for ya.
May 17th, 2008 at 9:48 pm
Hi Ilovecheese,
DV8 was the winner.
How have you been?
May 17th, 2008 at 9:48 pm
Hi Miss QQ,
Yeah, I hear ya. Sometimes I look at my crazy painted nails when I’m typing and I’m like, “WOW! That’s bright!”
I am definitely looking forward to sandal season and bright toe nail polish. Do you have a favorite bright shade?
May 17th, 2008 at 9:48 pm
Hi Juicybeauty,
Yeah, I like that one a lot, too.
