…live and let live (you know you did).

I have Bond fever right now and am counting down the days ’til Skyfall arrives here in the US. I may even go to a midnight show if I can find one!

Oh, and that’s the lovely OPI Live & Let Die ($8.50) from the 12-piece Skyfall collection. 🙂

    It is a lovely collection. On Her Majesty’s Secret Service is my favorite. Btw, have you seen the images for the OPI 2013 Spring/Summer collection? It’s inspired by European countries and Poland is one of them 🙂 And the names are awesome, I am super excited!

          Nail polish is so fun! I would wear a new color every day if I could!

    1. This is a gorgeous color! Love the sparklies.
    2. I’m listening to This American Life and as I clicked on the link, the song “Live and Let Die” started playing on the podcast. Weird!!

      How funny! I guess we are in sync. I love that song (especially the piccolo part), but the fast parts really stress me out, LOL!

    I was totally singing the Goldeneye song while I was staring at the nail polish bottle yesterday. It’s so fabulously gold and I don’t know what to use with it yet. I think I’ll be singing when I do manis/pedis for the rest of the Skyfall collection.

    Tabs isn’t on IMDB but does he have any roles in recent spy thrillers? I’m assuming he doesn’t have the lineage of the Doctor No white Persian. Maybe he was stunt cat for another film?

    I love that colour, that’s what I’m wearing on my nails right now. The problem is that it was already chipped after only 12 hours. 🙁

    Ha! I’m wore this last week and am about close to reapplying it. I miss it already! I love dark shades…glad it’s fall and I can wear them proudly again. I got mini chips on the tips, but nothing awful considering how I use my nails and wash dishes sans gloves…

    I’m la-la-loving the Skyfall line: I got two full-size (Live and Let Die and the glitter one) and went back two days later to grab more – but the ones I wanted were already gone. So I went bought the Bond-ettes mini set online and will give the duplicate mini Live and Let Die to little sister next time I see her.

    Sweet! OPI has been on a tear with some really good movie co-branding in their polish collections. Bond? What’s not to love? 🙂

      I am SO excited about Skyfall! Can’t wait until the 9th. Who’s your favorite Bond, btw?

        I’m pumped too! I can’t wait to see it. My fave was always Sean Connery but I REALLY like Daniel Craig. The more Bond movies he does, the closer he comes to edging Sean out. I have to check out the Adele song, too. Unbelievably, I haven’t heard it yet!

          ME TOO. When they first announced him as Bond, I remember thinking, “NO WAY!” He’s really revitalized the role. Loved him in Casino Royal, which is my fave Bond film.

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
