Product of procrastination:

I love the passing of Labor Day—It’s the official ending of summer. It’s time to retire your fasvorite summer dress, favorite summer mix, and your neon polishes! And now it’s fall! : Time to reorganize and make room for NEW POLISHES! Top of the list for my fall favorites: Military greens!

Rage against Cosmo…

I was reading Cosmopolitan magazine; as I usually do

And nude polishes are “really In”. I have a really hard time finding nudes {also see} camel, taupe, and suedes, that A) look good againt my skin tone (and)  B) that MY eye thinks are pretty enough. I’m sort of a drag queen about CoLoRs! I’ve bin experimenting with a few I found. To be like totally Hip. My sorta not so instyle choice is: China Glaze: Cyberspace with Matte topcoat. It looks like I used florida sand to paint my nails <3

You know what else is so hip it hit the pages of cosmo telling girls all over the world what to do: Nails philed all the way down to the top of the finger. This is where I fucking revolot. As a recovering nail bitter, I just cannot. Besides short nails make my fingers look like sausages! EW. So I did however phile them relativity short with super flattops and rounded edges. Sqoval.

We appreciate the advice cosmo, but take my stupid advice and always keep it it semi-cool. Make it your own.

(EDIT) I added some free hand gold, looks like satin ribbon <3
