Everyone knows that this past week has been extremely stressful
and flat out craptasticlysucklios!
Today I managed to convince the web host that sucked to give me my money back and release my domain.
(OK so I bitched then out and threatened to post their name on my blog, twitter, myspace, scream it from the mountain tops, file a complaint with BBB and I did write an email to the owner directly)
With all of that somehow Lilynail
somehow managed to perfectly time this little surprise package of joy!
This is a true RAOK (random act of kindness) and I appreciate it more than words can express!
I needed some cheering up and this did the trick!
I'm sorry it's late and I forgot to write down the names so I will add them tomorrow.
(there was a casualty that did not survive and I haven't had a chance to clean these up yet)
Why yes that is a gorgeous silver holo and YAY another H&M HK!
Jack Skelington nail decals (you know I adore jack) some wicked coral/orange Sephora nail patches, Hello Kitty lip gloss that smells so yum, a sample of Lush I think it's lemony flutter or whatever it's called.
Lily also set the beautiful Zen card (I so need some Zen) several other fabulous nail decals the beautiful gloss' at each end and some fabulous candy which my children devoured, but not the chocolates....those are MINE!
Thank you so very much Lily, you made my day! ((hugs))
Part 2 of my cheer up
I did a swap with the gorgeous Thriszha of Fab UR Nails
Part of that was my very first Inglot #342 and it is beautiful!
I used it for the first time lastnight when I decided to do a statement mani for that back biting host that we'll not mention. I used my gorgeous Inglot 342 and OPI Brand New Skates (a gift from my little Ange).
I'm playing with my MIL's OTT lamp to see if I want one or not.
All of the pictures in this post are taken in OTT light in my lightbox.
They are very color acurate...even the purples are dead on.
But my skin looks odd, washed out, strange.
What to you think of these pictures vs my regular pics?
Do you see a difference? Which do you like better and why?
Thank you to all of you my readers and friends! I appreciate your support and kind words this past week!
Extra snugglies and smooches for you all!
That Inglot is gorgeous! And that was definitely perfect nail mail timing! I'm glad your hellish week is over and things are working out. :]
ReplyDeleteI think I prefer your old lighting. To me, these look a little bit grayed and washed out. I love the warm look of your old pictures.
yey! hope your week was getting better! I read your rant.. about the web site/ crazy family drama.... and was thinking omg you are an amazing person..! I don't think I would be able to handle all that! ( lemme just go hide . lol) but you keep going, so... I think I will try to be stronger.. too..! Well, glad you got some niceness this week!
ReplyDeleteYOU GOT JACK SKELINGTON DECALS!!! =-O :-D Where oh where did she get them? I love Jack too. That was so sweet of them. Hope things get better for you as the week goes along.Hugs.
ReplyDeleteWoooooooo!!
ReplyDeleteInglot is awesome! Last year I bought some of their powders (white :P) and eyeshadows and they are serving me great. :)
ReplyDeleteHey, sending you HK polishes is MY job! xD Now I gotta fill out your package w something else... *making evil plans* ;D So nice when people hit just the right day with their packages..! :)
ReplyDeleteim so so happy u love the inglot polish I picked for u.. :* im still gathering some polishes for u and will send to u when I already accomplish them all... u are my sweetest evil angel!!! xoxo
ReplyDeleteoh Inglot... I have only one nail polish and a lot of eyeshadows; d It's our most popular Polish brand, we have Inglot in every mall ;)
ReplyDeleteBut they have boring nail polishes, I'm not a big fan of them (but i need to buy green black and swatch it ;) )
O:-) I think your just an angel! I'm so happy that you'll be getting your money back and release your domain! You are one fantastic women. You had a lot to yell about and it was good you had this coompany to take it out on. They did deserve it. I pray the rest resolves easily. I still can't believe the stupidity of people. I prefer your old lighting. I guess maybe you need a more expensive camera? I don't know, just guessing. Wish I could win one for you because I would pass it along to you. I wish I could be there to talk with you and give you a million hugs. You need it this week doll. Love you.
ReplyDelete*sighs* I have to learn to look at pictures in another window. I wrote up a helpful comment, only to lose the whole thing when I went to look at the Jack Skellington decals again. I am so silly some days.
ReplyDeleteANYWAY, I know I love working under my father-in-law's Ott light, but I don't know anything about using them for photography. Maybe try turning it down some/moving it farther away and filling in with the light you usually use? That might give you truer colors while still giving a more acceptable skin tone. Your skin does look a bit off in these.
Also, it's not your lighting that gives problems with purples. Digital cameras HATE purple, even the professional ones. I spent a good deal of my prior career finding ways to fix purples in professional photography. So much fun...*rolls eyes*
You're lucky to have such good friends to heer you up. You must be an awesome person! :D
Any clues what caused the nail polish casualty? Was it broken at the neck?
ReplyDelete(i am trying to study the best way to pack to avoid casualties) So far I think the best method is in the cardboard 6 packs with just a few styro peanuts to steady them inside and lots of bubble wrap outside. (Have not seen any busted that way.)
I'm glad to see they released the domain. I sent you an email with some other sites to check out.
ReplyDeletewoooooohooooo! BNS on the flipper finger! glad it got some proper use. that lamp looks pretty damn good, but I have the same problem with my OTT washing out my skintone. but if it means accurate purples, maybe I'll suck it up.
ReplyDelete<span>I'd love to try Inglot products! I've read a lot of reviews and they look interesting.</span>

Awww!! I love it when things work out like that. I hope you get your website up and running soon. I didn't realize that H&M HK was so big!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous and what a perfectly timed RAOK!
ReplyDeleteYay nail mail! I can't wait to see the Hello Kitty...sorry about the casualty though. :( *plays Taps*
ReplyDelete<span>i'm happy you like it :) </span>
ReplyDelete<span>have a nice day !!</span>
Well done on getting your money back! Hope you can get your site back up and running as soon as possible x
ReplyDeleteLily is so kind, that package looks amazing :)
I feel so much better now that it's back up and working!
ReplyDeleteI love it and you are so awesome! ((hugs))
ReplyDeleteI have figured it out that I average 19 packages then one casualty then 19....lol
ReplyDeleteThe very best of timing!
ReplyDeleteSome of the H&M HK's are smaller but these are shaped like the Ciate's.
ReplyDeleteThis was my very first and I love it!
ReplyDeleteI might just use it with colors that are hard to catch. It just looks odd!
ReplyDeleteYou are the best Love!
ReplyDeleteThis one was a strange one it broke in the bottle just past the neck.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to play with it some more and see if I can get it better.
ReplyDeleteI have met some of the most wonderful, caring, loving and kind people via blogging!
I love you Lucy! You are just amazing!
ReplyDeleteI think you are correct...I need a better, more expensive, camera. Hopefully I can afford one in the next year.
I love the pictures I've seen of the Inglot displays!
ReplyDeleteI <3 U Thriszha!!!
ReplyDeleteYou get to keep your HK job!
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried any other Inglot, yet!
ReplyDelete:-D
ReplyDeleteThe decals are from a French brand called Peggy Sage
ReplyDeleteBlackfoot women are a strong breed, we have freakishly strong shoulders than can carry the weight of the world for a very long time. ;)
ReplyDeleteYeah me too! I prefer my normal lighting.
ReplyDeleteWA!! So much gorgeous colours!!
ReplyDeletehttp://xmaterialgirlsx.blogspot.com/
Good for you, and I loooove those colors together!
ReplyDeleteYou have been in my thoughts. I am so glad you were able to right the situation. I had no doubts that you would.
ReplyDeleteYour skin looks so much better than mine under the OTT light. You at least look alive. I've only really used my OTT light in the winter.
Speaking of fabulous packages, I used those little silver spheres you sent me long ago. I want to post of a review of Diana's Bow too now that I have gotten over my shyness of doing lip reviews. It's so sparkly! xoxo!
I must go to Inglot store and look at them once again, maybe i remember them as boring polishes and they are interesting?;D
