NOTD: ORLY - Spark

From last week: ORLY - Spark
This is my only ORLY polish. I bought it from a beauty supplier in LA's Chinatown.

I took this with flash on.
I felt that the color didn't look accurate and retook it a few days later:

This was taken in natural light.
I was too lazy to use a base or top coat so it chipped pretty quickly.

Now that it's Spring, I've been feeling bright nails. I do have to give them a break every once in a while... But I want to paint them because my thumb was in an unfortunate accident back in December. It left me a purple nail :(
I'm now working two jobs which totals up to 40 hours a week. I really want to get into swatching more during the day but I only have one free day a week... which I use to spend with my boyfriend.

Seems like there's so much I want to do but I don't have the TIME to do it all.

NOTD: China Glaze - For Audrey & OPI Black Shatter

NOTD (not today, but March 12th lol)


I painted this at my cousin's house. She got the last OPI Shatter from a beauty supply store in downtown. I always thought it gave off a cool effect, but haven't really given a thought to buying it. After trying it out though, I really do want one! Doubles the number of nail polishes you own! Follow the formula for an example:

# you own x 2 (thanks to shatter) = SO MANY MORE POSSIBILITIES!

I asked my boyfriend for his opinion on it. Thought he would like it since it looks more punk than the typically seen mature/classy/vampy/neons. He didn't like it!! Asked another guy and he didn't like it either! Asked three girls? Loved it!

Conclusion? Guys might not like b/c it's so busy/flashy/weird/different/jealous they can't wear it/a million other reasons. Girls, on the other hand, are fighting for the last bottle hence it being sold out at so many places...

What do you think?
