So, I mentioned a polish-spam, and here it is. Because I always try to do too many things at once, a quick breakdown of what is in this post, in case you are dithering over whether you want to click

So many awesome (and discontinued D'8) colors! I especially love NNL's Jem line (represent!) and the 7 deadlies <333 AND OH SWEET JESUS SHE HAS MY SO-CALLED LIFE COLORS *dead*
*sigh* I just really need to get around to frankening more of my own colors one of these days.
As for concert viewing, we always use AOL for taco-viewing parties and set up a chat-room/invite everyone in. Once everyone's there we make sure all the files/discs are in and paused at zero, then count us all in ala 3, 2, 1 GO! (press play on "1 GO", or whatever bastardized form of it we're using that go-round. This way everyone sees the same parts of the concert roughly within 5 seconds of each other.
And it really IS like herding cats trying to get everything/everyone together for it, so setting a definite start time helps, and then opening the chat up about a half-hour beforehand for everyone to arrive and get set up/do breif introductions seems to work best. Other than that- once "play" happens it's a giant mess of fangirl babble and keysmashing XDb
Edit: Also, as far as arranging a time for it we usually do a poll asking people for a ballpark figure of when they would be available, and then build off of that. It kind of sucks that someone always ends up having to get up at 4am or stay awake until 7am, but that's one of the downsides to international viewing-parties =\
Nostalgic Nails is restocking tomorrow night at 7CST/8EST, I think! And I love the Angela polish! But I really love the milkiness of the Pretty in Pink polishes >_<
The Jem polishes--have you seen swatches? Because they are . . . outrageous. Pizzazz and Jem, in particular, though Rio is pretty awesome (and that is the only context in which you will hear that, because I thought Rio was a putz and could no understand why Jerica put up with that shit:/) (Also, Jerica???? *eyeroll*
Thank you for the AOL advice! I think I figured out how to set up a chat room, so it would just be a matter of getting people's schedules lined up . . . I guess first I'd have to see how much actual interest there is. The Boy and I watch concerts relatively often (at least once a month), so I would totally do that with hilarious old concerts too (HIG, anyone?)
Random, but you were mentioning frankens, and I just saw that Pam at Girly Bits --another indie polish person I love and have several polishes form, but for gotto post on because I was tired-- is selling Frankening starter kits and Spectraflair!!!
She includes a recipe for making holos with it. I can see myself doing ridiculous things with that.
She's also selling a holo topcoat as of tomorrow, I think. Think Hits Hefesto, only a little less silvery. *grabby hands* I think she's located in Canada, but I might be delusional on that bit.
*throws glitter everywhere* \XD/
