I'm alive.Sorry guys. I just graduated from college, am in the process of moving, and am also hunting for a job. And you know how it is for job interviews: NO funky nails. I normally would tell people to piss off, but I kinda need money, haha! So boring nails it is. Actually, my nails have been bare for about a week now and boy does it feel weird. I've chewed them down to nubbins! Gah!

Busy, busy week! I got tired of wearing dark and shimmery colors (which is basically the entire collection of the dark<strong> Alter Ego</strong> set), so I busted out some of my <strong>Ulta</strong> polishes. First up is <strong>Mint Condition</strong>.</span><br />
<br />

</div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's actually a little brighter in real life. It was very refreshing to wear a spring appropiate color. While I was at it, I tried to remember the last time I did a water marble design on myself. . . It was quite a while back. So, marble it is!</span><br />
<br />

</div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Let's see, I used three colors all by <strong>Ulta</strong>: <strong>Mint Condition</strong>, <strong>Blue Streak</strong>, and <strong>Celebutante</strong>.</span><span style="font-family: Arial;">The result was really pretty if you ignored all the smudges and little bubbles.</span><br />

So I waited a few days. Good lord, the wait was freaking hard!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I decided on my base color- <strong>909 Alter Ego</strong> from <strong>Color Club</strong>. (How cute, a polish named <strong>Alter Ego</strong> IN the <strong>alter ego</strong> set. . .)</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif1dDL3TU8y-_Cq6xvkJQiySkkrbGVUhdL3JfbjKBAay6728kZRSp2CqOSzRNFMDz-xkb8KvsrnZCGF4C-xm8ttmf0eenbl2BFf0hjl9RdkZqaMIUSlK5zO-5UaEQkeMyu1zGaK3nHZDYE/s1600/IMG_0254wm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="270" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif1dDL3TU8y-_Cq6xvkJQiySkkrbGVUhdL3JfbjKBAay6728kZRSp2CqOSzRNFMDz-xkb8KvsrnZCGF4C-xm8ttmf0eenbl2BFf0hjl9RdkZqaMIUSlK5zO-5UaEQkeMyu1zGaK3nHZDYE/s320/IMG_0254wm.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I had actually used this color about a month ago on my toes, and I noticed it was a bit sheer (as in needs-four-coats-for-coverage sheer). So, I prepped my nails this time around with a coat of nude colored polish. Well, close to nude; maybe a brown nude? Whatever. I only used two coats of <strong>Alter Ego</strong>.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1r-lkCH2rYp7AAq9nJnn1Z4RnhOxWJK-WfJ4DlwpWeXyqdmoCrlO9nmG7mNHjTgep_oPDzNIaVmYMBNpzAlY8CmOcfqB2XV1j2fZyU4ODv3jM9salEVWps_sPV-EXLr3shSf8ToBalxdi/s1600/Alter+Ego+%25287%2529wm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1r-lkCH2rYp7AAq9nJnn1Z4RnhOxWJK-WfJ4DlwpWeXyqdmoCrlO9nmG7mNHjTgep_oPDzNIaVmYMBNpzAlY8CmOcfqB2XV1j2fZyU4ODv3jM9salEVWps_sPV-EXLr3shSf8ToBalxdi/s320/Alter+Ego+%25287%2529wm.jpg" width="142" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This polish looks pretty boring indoors, but it's reflective as hell outdoors. Made me think of aluminum foil. It's got so many different glitter colors in it- brown, gold, pink, silver, and I think I see green too.</span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's neither a holo nor duochrome polish. It's just alright, so I snazzed it up with a <strong>Bundle Monster</strong> stamp! Plate <strong>BM-203</strong> to be exact!</span><br />

</div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The photo doesn't do it justice. It's not color accurate at all. It has more of a blue/purple tint to it in real life. Probably because there's blue glitter in the polish. Along with magenta glitter. It's got a really pleasant sparkle to it. As if you can see.</span><br />

I decided that I just <em>had</em> to redo my <a href="http://starvingnailaddict.blogspot.com/2011/01/gotta-catch-em-all.html">Pokeball</a> mani!</span><br />
<br />

</div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My free hand skills still suck though. I painted my middle fingers last, and I sort of regret my decision to do Mew (he's supposed to be "flying" around with silver stars). . .I just see a pink cat. D'oh!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Man, it's deja vu all over again. But hey, it's a super fun mani to wear!</span>Starving Nail Addicthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08589815399945593958noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5600118724528785392.post-46814634196194811782011-04-20T19:55:00.000-05:002011-04-20T19:55:15.412-05:00Ahem.<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Guess who was one of the winners for<strong> Bundle Monster's</strong> nail art contest? That's right, me! Muahahahaha! (It's supposed to be an evil laugh) I placed 18th, Bee-yatches!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Ok, all gloating put aside, I'm really happy that I won. Thank you to anyone who took the time to vote! However, I have to say something. Most of the winners (including myself) only had so-so designs. Seriously. If you've taken the time to look at all the entries, the damn good ones didn't win. I kinda feel bad for winning. . .kinda. Though if any of you are following <strong>Bundle Monster's</strong> fan page. . .there are some pretty sore losers out there. I'm not going to link you guys to it, but you are free to take a look for yourself. It's almost a jab in the side how bitter <strike>one</strike> some of them <strike>is</strike> are. Ouch. Cry me a fucking river. Don't enter a contest if you're going to come out bitching. It ruins the mood for everyone, winners and losers alike.</span>Starving Nail Addicthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08589815399945593958noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5600118724528785392.post-77603851684006292292011-04-18T13:25:00.000-05:002011-04-18T13:25:48.837-05:00Warning!<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So my boyfriend was looking at this blog the other day and he said to me, "You know, your posts sound a little vulgar sometimes." </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Oh.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I asked him, "Is it funny vulgar or offensive vulgar?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">His answer was, "Depends on who looks at it."</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">He had a point. I do like to use foul language (and my sense of humor is pretty dirty too). <strong>BUT-</strong> I'm not going to apologize for it; that's just my preference. However, I<em> am</em> going to apologize to you guys for not providing a warning beforehand about my. . .er, choice words. I'm sorry! I've tried to be pretty tame so far, but be warned! I may include some nasty-ass words in the future (and they are all fair game)!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">That being said, I'm going to start a new <strong>Color Club</strong> polish set soon. It's the <em>other </em>Alter Ego set- <strong>Keep it under cover</strong>. The colors are much much darker. Here is a mani I did to sample one of the colors.</span><br />
<br />

</div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cute, huh? I used scotch tape to move the pointy end further down my nails than my <a href="http://starvingnailaddict.blogspot.com/2011/04/ich-bin-krank.html">Ich bin krank</a> post. I painted the entire nail on my ring finger because I really liked the polish color.</span><br />

</div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I put on a cute white kitty from my <strong>Bundle Monster</strong> plate and added some tiny hearts (also <strong>Bundle Monster</strong>). I made the kitty black for my thumbs.</span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">How do I describe it? Gray-purple? Grurple?</span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's pretty. Took three coats. Or was it four? That's the thing I've noticed about using <strong>Color Club</strong> polishes- they require some pretty thick-ass coats, and lots of them. Why? Uneven coverage. And they streak a little each time you add another coat. Geez. . . </span><br />
<br />

</div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yes, I removed the polish from my ring finger and painted it a shimmery pearl color. Long story, don't ask. For the tips, my <strong>Bundle Monster</strong> plate had stamps designed to go just on the tips; however, my skill at this technique is pretty much nonexistent. So I taped off my tips and stamped them like normal. Hence, the lines are straight and not curved (trust me, I would rather have them curved).</span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial;">Aw hell, while you're at it, go ahead and browse all the entrees and vote Yay or Nay for them. I believe you can vote for each entree once a day. So I freaking need you guys to vote. Every. Freaking. Day. (Don't call me crazy, just vote!)</span>Starving Nail Addicthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08589815399945593958noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5600118724528785392.post-9434797000914104072011-04-06T00:42:00.000-05:002011-04-06T00:42:33.806-05:00Oh no she didn't!<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Oh yes, I did. Know how I stamp my nails with <strong>Bundle Monster</strong> plates? Well, <strong>Bundle Monster's</strong> got a Facebook page, a new set of plates coming out soon, <em>AND </em>they're holding a contest for a chance to win the new plates! Hot damn! I want me those plates!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The contest involves submitting a photo of your nails that include any of <strong>Bundle Monster's</strong> products. So I created a Facebook page and entered my <a href="http://starvingnailaddict.blogspot.com/2011/03/love-letter.html"><strong>Love Letter</strong></a> mani! (I absolutely loved that design). <a href="http://www.facebook.com/bundlemonster"><strong>Click here to check out their Facebook page.</strong></a> (Sidenote- no one's paying me to do this, I <em>really</em> want you guys to check them out!)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Now, if any of you guys are interested in entering the contest, you've got until the 13th to do so. <a href="http://www.facebook.com/bundlemonster?sk=app_95936962634"><strong>Click here to go straight to the contest.</strong></a><strong> </strong>(You can read the full rules too, I'm too lazy to repeat them). Voting doesn't start until after the 13th and all you have to do is "Like" a person's mani. The 25 people with the most "Likes" wins the new set of plates.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">So guess what I'll be doing in about a week? Telling YOU all to vote for my design! Dur! I had a follower ask me if it was alright for her to copy one of my designs (can't tell you which yet!) for the contest. Hell yeah it's ok. If she's got the plates and nail polish, she can do whatever the hell she wants. Picture stealing is excluded, of course.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Now, go check out the contest and enter if you feel like it. If you don't have <strong>Bundle Monster</strong> plates, then it sucks to be you, don't it? Oh- give me a heads up if you want me to "Like" your mani, I am all yours to abuse!</span>Starving Nail Addicthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08589815399945593958noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5600118724528785392.post-60935854856274989222011-04-04T21:35:00.001-05:002011-04-04T21:44:16.410-05:00Ich bin krank.<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm pretty sure that's German for "I am sick." Which is very true. You know you're really sick when you don't even feel like painting your nails for over a week. (Scary thought, ain't it?) I'm getting better, but it's slow going. This <strong>Color Club polish</strong> is <strong>904 Revealed</strong>. Dumb name. Again.</span><br />

</div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you look at the bottle when I am holding it, there's some pink shimmer going on. However, on my nails, there was nothing. (And I looked real hard too.) I really like this color, especially in sunlight. <strong>Problem</strong>: application was <em>Nasty</em> with a capital <strong>N</strong>. Freaking thing took four coats because it kept streaking on me. And it dried lumpy/chalky, like an eggshell or something. Whatever, all I know is that I did not like applying this polish. Boo on you.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Anyway, because I was sick, I didn't do a design for three days. Then I finally cranked this out:</span><br />
<br />

</div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Pretty simple. Scotch tape made it a snap. I got this design from two bloggers that I follow:</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">(Can you tell I have no original ideas? Always stealing from others; what a shame. . .) But hey, they have nice ideas! Why not copy them? I thank the kind ladies for giving me the design aid.</span><br />

She's extremely talented at <strong><em>real </em></strong>nail art (unlike me with my pitiful stamps, hah!) and I learned how to make a design from layering dots together! So easy! Thank you again Rins; your video made this mani go smoothly!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Today's <strong>Color Club</strong> polish is <strong>903 Get A Clue</strong>. Considering that I don't love pinks, this one is actually pretty cute.</span><br />

</div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ahem, sorry for the dots. I was so excited about trying out the design that I forgot to take a photo sooner. This took three coats, but I saw some streakiness in the polish. Maybe four would have covered everything, but I draw the line at three (after all, I <em>do</em> have to add dots and a top coat <em>someday</em>).</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><strong><u>The Good</u></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">So I bought this set of polishes by <strong>Color Club</strong> recently. It's one of the <strong>Alter Ego</strong> sets- <strong>Reveal your mystery</strong>.</span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial;">Very pastel-y. Good thing I've been wanting pastels. I've decided that my next few posts will involve using these colors (sorta like a swatch/review/design all at once). I know, I'm a genius! *Hah! If only.* </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">Anyway, I chose this pretty little number to go first.</span><br />

</div><span style="font-family: Arial;">It's <strong>907 Sheer Disguise</strong>. (I <em>have </em>to roll my eyes at the names <strong>Color Club</strong> give their polishes. Kinda dumb to me, but whatever.) </span><br />

<strong><u><span style="font-family: Arial;">The Bad</span></u></strong><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial;">Know what's even sadder? I can't even seal the stamps with a top coat because that would defeat the purpose of a matte coat. Geez!</span><br />

</div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Personally, I thought the mani turned out pretty well (and yes, I realize they look <em>very</em> similar in pattern to <a href="http://starvingnailaddict.blogspot.com/2011/02/guest-nails-amanda.html"><strong>Amanda's nails</strong></a>, but hey, that's water marbling for you). Water marbling sure gets easier the more often I do it though. I really, really liked the rhinestones on her ring fingers. (I don't know if anyone can tell, but it's alternating pink and purple stones).</span><br />

I think it lasted three or four days.</span>Starving Nail Addicthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08589815399945593958noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5600118724528785392.post-62157926102857366182011-02-12T13:17:00.000-06:002011-02-12T13:17:49.136-06:00Shamrock Party<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ok, maybe they aren't shamrocks.

</div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I layered three colors: a gray/beige near the cuticles, light green and dark green. Then I stamped it with my <strong>bundle monster</strong> plate. I actually did this mani in a hurry, so it's not as neat as I want it to be. (Also, it took freaking forever to dry).</span><br />

</div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This wasn't the look I was originally going for, but it <em>does</em> look nice. Too bad it peeled after about two days.
