I am SO excited because my RBL’s are on the way, I should be receiving them Wednesday! The colors I had to get were Teal and No More War (of course, it’s olive green people!). The swatches are coming soon I promise!
Ok before you start verbally attacking me please understand that I myself was a victim of these seemingly innocent, gleaming, smooth tips for many years. A decade or so ago, in my mid 20′s, I decided (not for the first time) to get acrylic nail tips. My reasoning was because I could NOT get polish to last on my nails for more than 24-48 hours and it drove me bonkers! I knew that with acrylic the polish stuck hard and therefore I wouldn’t have the chipping issues. That turned out to be true, however, I discovered that because my nails grow incredibly fast, I was having to get them filled every week or the cuticle area looked terrible. I was going to the nail salon every Friday evening and spending $20 or so a week. I also discovered that I am incredibly anal retentive when it comes to my nails (among other things) especially when I am spending good money; I expect them to be perfect. It would drive me WILD when one was slightly longer than the other, or slightly crooked or (God forbid) a bubble or hair appeared in the polish and the technician would happily go about her business as though everything was fine. Meanwhile I would have to be “that girl” and point out every flaw and have her fix it or I swear I would not be able to sleep that night.Â
Welcome to my blog! A bit about me: I am a professional with a “normal” job who also has a fixation with nail polish (varnish, lacquer, paint, glaze, whatever) and makeup (especially MAC and Urban Decay). I also hold a degree in English and rarely have a chance to write (although I am an AVID reader) so this is my opportunity! As you can probably tell from the title of my site, I’m into vampy colors. And by vampy I mean anything that is dark, be it blue, green, gray, black, purple, red or brown. I also am into colors that are off the beaten path and not seen on everyone such as: olive green (lemming alert: I MUST own China Glaze Out On Safari, can anyone help??) mushroom or gray. Although those previously mentioned colors are my favs, I also like a lot of lighter colors as well as silvers, metallics and such. I will tell you right now I could do without most medium red’s and pink’s. Too safe and boring for me! Luckily I work at a company where we can wear whatever we want so I get to experiment on a daily basis if I so choose.Â
