Party of Five

The final polish to be included in the sale is here! Detailed post with my, er...inspiration will be posted above a little later.

Meet "Say Goodnight, Manuel"

Apologies for the weird angles and blurriness. The holo glitter made my camera go haywire.



Closeup so you can see the details of the glitters


One coat over WnW Black Creme


Two coats on its own. The black is sheer, so you can layer it over other colors. It gives a slight "smoky" effect over lighter polishes.


So, there you have it! All five polishes that will be for sale starting tomorrow! I will make a new post at 6:00PM CT tomorrow listing all the polishes again. That will be when I start accepting orders. As I mentioned before, these polishes will ALWAYS be available, so if you miss out, don't worry! I will re-release these soon :)

I Have a Point

Just a little random mess because I found it amusing. This is my truck's gauge cluster. It needs a new one.


Don't worry, my truck was parked and off when this photo was taken. The gauges are supposed to be ALL the way down since nothing is running. Hmm, let's take a closer look, shall we?


Engine isn't even running, yet it claims to be over-heating. And the oil pressure gauge is stuck. Nice.

I turned the key, and this is what happens. Engine still isn't running.


Yeah, it really is low on gas. But look at the temp! Wow.

And this is after driving for five minutes:


Yikes! Are you telling me the time, or reading the temperature??? At this rate, we should both be on fire. And my truck really needs gas. At least the oil pressure gauge got un-stuck.

The speedometer occasionally messes up too, but the truck needs to be running for a long time, and pretty hard. I could be doing 80mph on the freeway, but the speedometer would be at 0 or maybe 3mph lol.

Apparently, GMC has had some complaints about this issue. They have offered to fix them at no charge to the owner, but the truck has to have 70,000 miles or less.


OOPS.

ANYWAY, I have decided which polishes to put up for sale (all except one). I will post above in a new, non-rambling post.

Good News/ Bad News

Bad news: Texas Rangers lost the World Series (I was seriously about to cry. I had tears in my eyes. But I'm mostly over it now.)

Good news: Finished paying off this giant hunk of metal!



Good news: I got Giant Hunk of Metal's title in the mail!

Bad news: Giant Hunk of Metal needs new gauges. They are very pricey. ~$400 to be exact.

Good news (for you): I need money, so I am starting a frankenpolish sale. Specifics will be up on Wednesday, the latest.

The most info I can provide right now is that I will start selling in batches of 5. No minimum order. I will accept PayPal and Money Order for those who don't do online payment.

I haven't quite decided on all polishes that will be in the first batch, but I know one of them WILL be "Biotic God," which was shown in the previous post.

Smell My Greatness!

"I am a biotic god! I think things -- and they happen. Fear me, lesser creatures, for I am biotics made flesh!"


This is Niftu Cal, a volus who is high as a kite on who-knows-what. He is less than half your height, clumsy as hell, and threatens anyone who approaches him.


"Yes, the asari injecting so many drugs into me was terrifying. But then I began to smell my greatness!"

Oh, I smell something, alright.

You can either let him throw himself into a battle where he gets killed almost instantly, or do the heroic thing and lightly tap him and knock him over. He is so shocked that he was defeated so easily that he realizes that he's actually exhausted, and leaves to take a nap.

For those of you who aren't familiar with the game, "biotics" are basically fancy telekinetic abilites. You can choose whether or not you want your character to have them. I always do, as flinging people back and forth and off of ledges using just your brain is way too much fun.

This guy was too much fun not to poke fun at, so I made a polish for him:



Biotic God, a sheer charcoal base loaded with light blue, darker blue, purple, and duochrome glass-flecks.



Two coats over WnW Black Creme.

I'm impressed with my camera's ability to take super-closeups. I'm not impressed by my photo-taking abilities, however. I must have taken over sixty photos and was able to use only three shots.





The purple shift in the flecks are camera shy, but they are very much there! I promise.

The best line in this scene by far comes from Thane. After you knock the poor volus over and he leaves to go to sleep, Thane turns and says:


"Sleep well. And dream of bulbous women."

It took me so much by surprise that I just lost it. I have only heard him say this once, but that was good enough for me.

Also, whenever anyone at home complains of nail polish smell when I'm frankening, I tell them that they are "smelling my greatness." They can handle it.

A Quick Update

I wrote four papers this week! O_o I think that's a personal record for me. My polish is currently very chipped, but I am way too tired to care. Maybe I'll do something about it tomorrow. I shall get back to regular posting once I regain feeling in my hands. Well, feeling that is something other than PAIN (carpal tunnel syndrome is a real kick in the quad.)

Some random things:

-apparently, donating blood doesn't affect me the day of. Two days later, however...I kept getting the mother of all headrushes whenever I moved and almost kissed the floor several times.

-some Sally Beauty supplies have the ChG Halloween collection, but not "It's Alive!" In other words, the glitter polish; aka, the only polish I wanted from that collection.

-I was thinking of starting a franken sale. As soon as I went online to buy TKB glamour base,  I saw that they were not only out of stock, but are having distribution issues with their suppliers. I will say it again: kick in the quad.

-I want to, one of these days, post the pages upon PAGES of franken plans that I have written. They are pretty crazy. I plan frankens and sketch and take notes in the middle of class.

-elbee, I am currently working on two frankens, one called "Disingenouous Assertions," and another called "Snide Insinuations." (SI is what you tell al Jilani when you punch her in ME1). Be on the lookout for those.

-yes, I AM making a franken called "Kick in the Quad." I actually got the color idea from my brother. I just need to order some glitter online. And some TKB GLAMOUR BASE *rips hair out*

-I watched baseball for about five hours straight last night. Baseball is usually my Nail Time as well. But this was the playoffs, so I was too entranced to even notice that I have nails.

-my brother does his nails about as often as I do. Although, he has a slightly different approach than mine. I file, remove polish, moisturize, then polish. He just takes his knife to his nails. Man-icure indeed.

-don't EVER try Zumba while in heels. Just...don't.

So yeah, that was my week. How was yours?
