This post ends on a vaguely disgusting simile
Unfortunately, most of my friends blame unsteady hands and get monthly memberships to nail salons instead of doing the job themselves-- so their nails always end up looking better than mine, but it also means that they are not very useful to geek out about polish with. Which is why I am extra excited when we talk about it on LJ! So here is a picture, I painted my nails :D
This is one coat of Deborah Lippmann Boom Boom Pow over Sinful Colors Black on Black. Surprisingly enough, the Sinful Colors is one of the best solid blacks I've ever seen-- it's completely opaque in one medium-thickness coat! On the other hand, it is not surprising at all that the Deborah Lippman is TO DIE FOR. The picture doesn't show it very well, but there is so much micro-glitter that I think one coat is plenty, even two is a little too heavy for my taste. It is so pretty that I can't handle it *____* I got Boom Boom Pow because I like gold in the winter, but I really want some of the others from this collection as well, oh my god.
On a completely different note, through a series of lucky accidents, I have found myself in possession of an iPod Touch. If you have any sort of device that can download apps, then I hope for your sake that you're using the official Inception app-- or, as just_a_boy said, THERE WILL BE TROUBLE BETWEEN US. It purportedly mixes in noises from your environment with music from the film, creating a ~brand new soundscape~ but really it is mostly useless and just very pretty to look at, haha. However, it is also utterly hilarious. There is the matter of the Travelling Dream, which you can't unlock on an iPod unless you have a magical wireless connection that travels with you in a moving vehicle, and then there are the awkwardly incorporated movie quotes ("Listen how nothing in your dreamworld sounds how it normally does. Our dreams feel real while we're in them. It's only when we wake up that we realise something was actually strange") but my absolute favorite thing about the app has to be this:
YOU NEED TO BE PHYSICALLY IN AFRICA IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO UNLOCK THIS DREAM LD;NFLKEJK;RNKFEJLR; SERIOUSLY THOUGH APP, DO WE NEED TO HAVE A LITTLE TALK ABOUT UNREALISTIC EXPECTATIONS
Overall, real life has been pretty calm! I am spending most of my time just making and eating food. XD I keep meaning to write something, but it feels weird to really get down to it with the big bang posting looming so close. Kind of like trying to stuff something down a pipe that's already clogged. Well, there's no real hurry, is there?
