Glamour Puss 3: Don't Hate Us Because We're Beautiful

[IceAlisa]

Your Southpaws must look very pretty and ready for summer in Coat Azure. :)

I've decided I must have Lapis of Luxury (http://www.essie.com/shop/lapis-luxury-p-228.html)!

Went to Ulta today and bought myself China Glaze Jamaican Out (http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?productId=VP12102#sku2157504) while my 6 year old chose Nicole by Opi Fresh Squeezed (http://www.nicolebyopi.com/products/fresh-squeezed).

My main question is, how do you get the nail polish on so smooth? Are those nails in those pictures real or acrylic? I refuse to use acrylics/gels because they just completely RUINED my nails when I was in college.

A good top coat (ultra shine, dry fast, things like that) works wonders.
To me, they make all the difference, since I'm a complete klutz when applying nail polish (though I was much worse in the past :yikes: ). I use Insta Dry and a Colorama top coat that is purpleish (http://www.dasgurias.com/wp-content/2011/01/topcoat_colorama.jpg), cheap and does the job great

Take a look at Coat Azure in person before you commit to Lapis of Luxury because Coat Azure is lighter in person than on the website. It looks more like the pic of Lapis of Luxury. So you might like Coat Azure. Or maybe not. But you should look at it just to be sure because, you know, a girl shouldn't have more than one blue nail polish so you have to choose wisely. What's that? Don't I also own Midnight Cami (http://www.essie.com/shop/midnight-cami-p-252.html)? No, of course not. That would be wrong.

I already have Slushied by OPI for Sephora (http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5059/5497052823_b49d3cafb4.jpg) for when I go to the Sharks games. But I won't be wearing that one for a while now. :rolleyes:

Oooh. Purrty.

I had a pedicure yesterday and we did my toes with OPI Crackle (http://www.cracklenailpolish.info/opi-crackle-nail-polish/). I used pink and purple....very fun! :cheer2:

I'm wearing french affair by essie. I love pink shades like that. The only thing that annoys me is that it is hard for me to put on smoothly, especially when using my left hand.

Hope not to get too much out of the topic but do you know any site shipping quickly swimsuits? I hate with a vengeance bottom bikinis that are too broad at the bottom part so I's looking for brazilian coverage (well not a G-string type of coverage :shuffle: )

And now my Northpaws do, too. :)

I know what you mean. I think it looks like a diaper... :lol:

Don't know of any site here that sells abroad...

I randomly found this http://www.lojadebiquini.com.br

Go for Cia Maritima, Rosa Chá, Lenny, Morena Rosa. They are not cheap, but they look great, are well cut and will last longer.
(but I'm taking you already know that ;) )

Thank you :D It's the reason why I really dislike how bottoms usually fit, they don't lol. They just hang loose like those of a baby who had just pooped or something :scream:

Awesome. :summer:

Was at a party last night and was talking nail polish with a friend. She was wearing this beautiful dark dark blue with a bit of glitter, kind of like Russian Navy by OPI (http://dailyvarnish.files.wordpress.com/2010/08/opi-russian-navy.jpg) because she said she was feeling grumpy that day. Does anyone match their mood to the nail polish color?

Can't wait for vacation so I could wear my less conservative colors. :)

[vesperholly]

Great colors, everyone!!

I don't think those are acrylics. The best thing I've found to make polish smooth are to buff ridges out of your nails and to use Seche Vite or Posh top coat. They've got all those icky chemicals that make your nails look so slick.

I'm really enjoying my Zoya Maya (http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-WIBTBdOj_AI/TcqZkFBadnI/AAAAAAAAAgc/OiqHvWE7IKA/s1600/zoyamaya.jpg) that I got in a swap. It's a semi-sheer jelly and I just whacked it on with no base or top coat (Zoyas allegedly don't play well with SV). So far it's held up really well through two showers and a hot tub - only very minor chips and a bit of tip wear. I'm not very patient so it's great to have something I can put on quickly!

Thanks, I'll have to try and buff out my nails a bit. I do have the Seche Vite top coat and like it.

Well, here it is. (http://www.flickr.com/photos/mariemay/5826434710/) I used Oly Bonder for base then two coats of the Jamaican Out. I still have to put on the Seche Vite top coat.

[IceAlisa]

Zoya Maya is lovely. :swoon:

For those wondering, me thinks this bikini (http://www.brazilianbikinishop.com/en/brazilian-bikini-orchidia-3196.html?osCsid=9abd342710bd17437eccb5c48c015801) is a good compromise between showing a little more without giving it away :P
