Twinsie Tuesday- the Vintage Edition

Helloooo! Today's TR post is a vintage inspired mani & all I could think of was old Hollywood, glam red nails. So I used OPI Danke-Shiny Red to do a half moon manicure! This was by far the most common mani I saw when searching for a vintage nails online. And it didn't involve too much technical difficulty! Thank God;) Also, forgive the 3 finger pictures. I broke my index nail really badly (like bleeding badly) so it's definitely not ready for any sort of close up:(

Twinsie Tuesday's Red Mani

Happy Twinsie Tuesday! I'm currently sitting in an airport way too early in the morning and typing this up. So not fun. I got through security really fast, which is great, but now I have to sit an wait around for ever. Ah well... So for today's red mani, I have Girly Bits Hot Toddy. It's a really pretty, sort of burnt red, shade with this super stunning shimmer. Pam honestly has yet to disappoint with her gorgeous polishes. Here's 2 coats:

Deep Blue Lonesome Ocean

Hi all! I have to start with something completely non-nail related. Guys, I made bacon jam last night. Bacon. Jam. Let that sink in. I followed this recipe: http://www.notquitenigella.com/2009/10/08/bacon-jam-your-wildest-dreams-come-true/ and it was so good! I'm a little bacon crazy, so I had to try this recipe ASAP. haha, okay, on to the nails.

Today, I have for you my personal favorite way to wear Pahlish Lonesome Ocean. While I like the polish by itself, I think that 3 coats of it is just way too much going on so I put it over OPI Roadhouse Blues and tada! Better:)

Plumberry

Hi again! I hope everyone's doing well:) I'm finally on the uphill side of a nasty flu (and considering I need to fly across the country on Tuesday, I'm very excited about this). I actually want to show you what's on my nails this very second: NYC Plaza Plumberry. This is probably my favorite color of the season, I love how dark and shiny it is and it just makes me feel a little more sophisticated when I wear it. It goes so well with every outfit too, so I think I might need to keep this on for a while! This was 2 super easy coats. It's not quite this black-leaning IRL, which I like. I think it's a pretty close dupe of Zoya Casey also! I got Casey for my mom for Christmas and just from looking at the bottles, I think you could go with either for the same look. But while PP is 99 cents, Zoyas are more expensive. So your call:)

An Apology

Hi all. So I haven't been posting here in a long long time, and I'm sincerely so so sorry about that. The stress of the semester really got to me and then right after, someone dear to me passed away and I got in a blogging funk and just couldn't handle it anymore. So, again, I truly apologize for being so abruptly MIA. I'm trying to get back in the swing of things, I just posted a lot of new polishes on the Etsy store here. And I have a ton of nail pictures to share with you and some TT stuff to catch up on. So here's a little something till I can get back online. Thank you for sticking with me! <3 p="p">
