A Wild Wicked Vixen Weekend

I'm sure you've read about our fun on Stiletto and Scandalous Ange's blogs

But I'm going to post it too so :oP

Our sweet friend Stiletto and her doll of a hubby drove to our side of the mountains for a visit.

There was lots of girly jabbering and polish shopping and more girl talk and more shopping and frozen coffee.. and more shopping.

How beautiful are my girls!!!! Yeah in case you didn't know...I'm short. :o)

Apparently being a WV means you haz been overly blessed in the boobies!

(OK that's what Chris said)

And our little tribute to our lovely Nihrida!

All of our missing Vixens were much missed! Maybe someday all of us can get together and scare the crap out of whatever city we land in. lol

Did I mention that this will be a long post?

We did just a little tiny bit of shopping.

There isn't a single good nail polish within a 100 mile radius now.

Some of my new little friends

Yeah...it was a REALLY GOOD Day!

I had no sunshine to show off OPI La Boheme in her true beauty

You can see the gold duochrome in the bottle here

This was a big, long time lemming

So I got to finally hang out with Stiletto and Ange and I got several lemmings.

Here is my eyeball in weird lighting.

I used Evil Shades Infernal on the lid and blended it up to the brow bone. Evil Shades Double Barrel in the crease and outer v. Palladio liquid liner in black on upper and lower lash line smudged with Infernal on lower lash and Wet n Wild Mega volume mascara in black.

Sorry I was so excited that I forgot to take pictures of my makeup before so these are all 9 + hours after application.

I'm so happy with infernal!

And I was able to finish the painting on the dress I made. This is the left front shoulder panel.

And my little skully.

It's hard to tell from the pictures but Skully is metallic silver.

Whew I think that is all of the Saturday goodies!

I can't wait to do it all again!

Golden Rose Haul swatches

I put the number of each color by each nail and put the Golden Rose Line as well.

101 is a bit more purple/lilac than the picture shows.

I wish the holo showed better but the sun was playing games with me.

109 is a pale lilac and 117 is as holo as 109.

51 is light purple metallic, 57 is metallic as well.

39 is very sheer which I expected, but you can see the blue flash and the glitter. The glitter is sparse enough that it doesn't feel gritty like a glitter and it removes as easily as a creme. I'm going to play with layering.

82 is instant love for a vampy girl like me, it's deep wine red base with brighter red shimmer.

134 is a smooth metallic and a touch darker than 36. 36 is a coarser metallic an opaque in 1 coat.

38 is more of a pearl but I like it.

147 is a lovely light dusty purple base with a subtle pink flash.

Close up so you can see the difference in texture and color.

Look at the duochrome

I love you 146. Yes it is very similar to RBL Scrangie, same base color, same duochrome color but Scrangie has more of the blue/green flash. This is a subtler version. I'd call this Scrangie on a budget. I love it!

Golden Rose USA haulage!

Yay, I got my Golden Rose USA order today!

Happy slam dance...come on jump in people!

I ordered some new pretties on Saturday after asking poor Mary a bazillion questions while she was getting ready to take the weekend off. Yes I am a pain, but you love me so deal with it!

I got my pretties today and thought I'd share some bottle pics since I've had no time to swatch yet.

I put their numbers on the picture to make it easier.

From left to right:

102- Medium pink holo

115- bright lime green holo

117 - medium pink with purple undertone holo

109- light purple holo

102- light blue holo

116 bright pink holo

51- light pink metallic

57- purple based pink metallic

39- Milky white jelly with purple/blue flash and dark purple scattered micro glitter

83- Deep metallic merlot

Blue flash oh yeah...jelly, duochrome and smooth glitter...

Did you just gasp?

Blue flash and glitter

134- light blue metallic

36- light blue coarse metallic

38- pink pearl

146- Purple/blue duochrome

147- Pink/purple duochrome (a bit more subtle)

Subtle duochrome

Stop drooling!

Um yeah I'm beyond happy with these.

Which is your favorite so far?

How to not be selected for Jury duty 101

My mission to not get picked for jury duty was a total success!

So I thought I would lend my tips to my other civic duty shirkers!

First consider where you live and what "type" of community it is.

Mine is Super conservative, rich, republican, stick up the but hard core Southern Christian extreemists.

So yes this was not too hard for me. :)

First I consulted the top minds in the Nail world...MUA Nail board, to determine a perfect don't pick me manicure. Most felt that bright, tacky and bling would do the trick. I added my own twist.

I used a base of Golden Rose Paris Holographic #102

Middle finger I did a base of Bloom Mena (Thank you sooooo much Jacie)

Then I stamped some random and lovely blood spatters using Konad special polish red and my Hot topic fauxnad image plate. Restamping the small splats randomly.

Is there anything prettier than blood splater on holo?

On my middle finger I added a coat of my beloved Wixbetty franken Sexy Scarlet Stilettos.

I am in love with this manicure!

Next Make sure that your youngest child is sick and keeps you up until after 4am.

If you don't have a small child I am happy to loan one.

Oh and you must have an Earthquake an hour after the screaming child allows you to sleep.

(Don't worry my summers in LA had me having flashbacks and I ran straight for my nail polish closet)

No worries it was only a tiny 3.3 right under my town. Go figure I would find the one place in the mountains of TN that has friggin' Earthquakes.

You want your eyes nice and red

add puffy and huge dark circles.

Now you'll want to dress for the occasion. Unfortunatly they send rules so this was not fun enough to take pictures. I just wore my studded ballet flats, black capri's(with my studded belt) and my black studded top.

Makeup is very important, you want to make a frightening good first impression.

Go for bright bold colors that can be spotted from a good distance. Go extra heavy on that smokey eye or the eyeliner whichever makes you feel pretty.

I used ES Neritic (which is a peachy pink, stuip colorblind camera) and Glooming for the outer v and upper lash liner, my camera did not pick up the awesome aqua sparklies that rock like nobodies business. Mind you I was comatose when I applied so pardon my craptastic application. Phyrra look away hun, I don't want to traumatize you.

And if you are working on two hours of sleep you might luck out like I did and have absolutly no symetry at all. I'm just good like that! I think I was asleep when I blended and we are not commenting on the brows. umkay!

Final touch, you must wear pigtails so that you brand new 3 gray hairs show as well as the 6 inch wide section in the back of hot pink. Not to mention that at 36 years old it makes you look like you are confused about your own age. :) (Damn it I love my piggy tails and Chris says they are handy cute.)

Remember to accesorize with your dog collar choker and handcuff earings.

And when they call you yawn as you are walking to the interrogation chair.

Plop down your giant studded Demonia purse that weighs more than your youngest child.

While the Judge and attorneys are consulting glop on more lip gloss.

(ES Primrose path lippie and a tiny dab of Lillian's light gloss)

Then you might notice the two attorneys looking oddly at you and making head motions.

Then the clerk comes and says that you are excused!

What no questions? I was prepared for questions damn it!

Do your best innocent face as you skip to your car!

(P.S. don't mind my fancy robe, I immediately put on my jammies when I got home)

Well my Lovies there you have it. I do hope this helps you out in your time of need.

It's a happy holo day! Picture heavy

I am holographic crazy since we have sunshine.

This is Golden Rose #113 and #119 on the pinky.

I love the scattered holo in these!

I seriously took about 100 pictures.

I can't wait for more sunny days!

I think I might have an addiction

Do you hear the fallen angel's singing? Oh, that was just Dark Throne playing on the stereo.  :o)

Juicy tips and a bad pun fauxnad!

I was in a green juicy mood so I pulled out Golden Rose Fashion color #52

Jellyish nearly neon, juicy green yum!

Even the 90+ year old Neighbor lady (I sit with so her daughter can get out of the house for a few hours), loved this color and kept having to touch it. She was wearing Neon pink tips.

This color makes me happy!

And now a bad pun fauxnad....

Can you figure out my fauxnad pun?

Lisa the first picture is acruate as to how Golden Rose holo #119 stamps.
