Just when I thought I was on the road to conquering your pink plastic ass, you go and make my right hand application your bitch. I'm doing pretty well using my right hand to apply the designs on my left hand, but my right hand looks like complete shite. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Sometimes, the design isn't even coming off the stamper. I'm sure it has something to do with the angle and pressure using my left hand, but gah... I'm frustrated. I guess it just takes practice, practice, and more practice. Tonight, I did master getting the design completely on the scraper, something that has plagued me since I got the damn thing.
So, long story short, my right hand blows. I will have pictures tomorrow once I charge my battery. Mani is Essie Clambake with Konad white polish and Maybelline Golden Cloud topcoat.

Picture Updates
Goodness, I've been so busy this week, I haven't had a good chance to sit down and update. I have a few pictures of my recent manis, like I promised, but I they aren't very good. Either timing, lighting, or my own photography skills conspired against me.
Here's OPI Rose to the Ovation:
Sorry for the blurriness, but it's the only one, out of the 10 or so I took of this color, to actually show the true color. It's a gorgeous color, but I have a hard time describing it. It's not pink, it's not wine. I guess deep rose shimmer is the best descriptive I've come up with. It's d/c and HTF, though there are a few bottles for jacked up prices on eBay. I found mine for $8 on eBay. The seller's store is Shades of Beauty7. Good prices and low shipping.
That's the mani I wore to Charlotte. My next one was the OPI Ink/OPI California Raspberry combo.
There is also konadding, but it's hard to see. I liked this, but I did get bored quickly.
That's all for now. I'll get on later today to update with my current mani and few other things going on in my head. I just wanted to post these while it was on my mind.

Back in town...
As I mentioned last week, my sis and I headed to Charlotte, NC over the weekend to visit our cousin. Had a good time, but now I'm exhausted and wishing for a nanny for my twins so I can nap all day. We drove 11+ hrs in a 54 hour period. I'm so tired, and La did the majority of the driving.
I had plans to haul a few NPs, but it didn't happen. The BB&W in the Southpark Mall was out of Lippmanns, the Sephora looked like children had dug in all the sample pans and I just couldn't handle spending $9 on Sephore by OPI when I get OPI from TD for $5, considering the bottles look like shite. I did want to check out the NARS, but like I mentioned, everything was messed up. I did like looking at the Kat von D display and I'm planning on get my sis a KvD eye palette for her b-day. I did want to look at the Chanel counter, but it never happened. I was too worn out by then to haul my ass to Nordies. Thank goodness, Cheesecake Factory was there to save the day. :)
I redid my nails last night using a previous untried, OPI Ink. I love this color. This is what I wanted OPI RN to be like. It's a deep purple/blue with tons of blue and pink-red shimmer. RN and Ink look very similar in the bottle. On the nail, however, it's day and night. I like the color, but I was bored and I got my new Konad plates from OCNailArt over the w/e, so I tried plate m54. I used OPI California Raspberry to try and bring out the pink-red shimmer and I like the way it looks, but it's hard to photograph. I also did a funky french w/ the CR. I like the way it turned out, but it is different, that's for sure. Nothing like french in purple/blue and pink-red. This one may just last 2 days, though. I can see me getting bored quickly.
I do have pics, and I will post them later. I also have pics of OPI RttO and I will post them as well.
