Hello, big world! I am giving you all that I've got, picture-wise, that is. I feel bad for not updating all week, plus I've been yucky sick for four days now. Boo sickness! ;( What's worse is that I've had two manis this week that I neglected to photo! Oh, the horror.
Moving right along! The is China Glaze C-C-Courage, the re-release. I did three coats.

It's less blue and more purple, in real life.
It has a lovely, sophisticated shimmer, and itty bitty silver glitter.
I love my purples, and this was no exception!
Next up is Orly Rage. I only needed two coats.
I took a lot of pictures because it is just ridiculously stunning.
In the bottle it looks rose gold, and on my tips it seems somewhat more ambiguous.
Kind of beige, copper, and silver.
It's extremely reflective and shiny!
Very metallic and eye-catching. Love it!
Now get ready for some really fun polish! Claire's Mood in Happy/Earthy. That's right, MOOD POLISH!
When my fingers are hot, it turns neon yellow (with a hint of chartreuse). When they are cold, it goes to a dark, luscious green.
I had dipped my index and middle nails under hot water. Then I dipped them all in cold water, turning them a deep green. It is a warmer, true green, in reality, not nearly as cool as it looks here.
Here they are outside, about how they look normally...if there is such a thing!
Matte, neon, green, thermo-dynamic, jelly!! When will it end?! What next?! :)
The picture that you just saw includes a glimpse of what I lovingly call "dagger nail." It's my right index nail and it has been growing back with a vengeance since I had to do a silk wrap on it a while back due to a horrible break. Now it just won't quit! I don't have the heart to cut it down because I've never in my life had a nail this long!
I know, I'm weird.
I ended up with some underground bubbles, if you will. I'm not too sure why, but I hope you'll overlook them and I'm optimistic that someday soon I can find a remedy for this.
Check out that sexy, dangerous dagger nail again!! Woohoo! I could do some serious damage with that. I'd like to think that some day I can get them all to dagger nail status - that is my ultimate goal. It's not that I particularly like long nails. Really, I don't even think I have a preference. But I am always wanting to push the limits and see how far I can go! I will say that maneuvering through daily life with a dagger nail is interesting and different. I could see how some people say long nails get in the way of performing simple tasks.I'm going to stop rambling now and hope that you've enjoyed a longer-than normal post. I am hoping to feel better soon and get some serious swatching done!

love them! i should try all!
haha dagger nail cracked me up! I know how that goes, my left thumb nail was like that. I didn't want to cut it either!
I love it when you take pictures in front of the pool. They're so happy. Hello, beach ball!
OMG! I saw the bottles of Claire's Mood Polish over at my mall's Regis. I should've gotten one then! Love all of the colors on you -- and the dagger nail. I know what you mean about that -- I get that too when some of my nails grow longer than others and I don't have the heart to cut them.
Sorry you're sick! That Claire's is freaking amazing!!!
I need to get Orly Rage!
I'm loving the color change polishes!
oh wow. the mood polish is awesome, i've never seen anything like that!

Sorry, the comment was here
