Absenteeism is the New Involved ...

Or not. Just making light of my habit to commit to something, go all gung ho for about 10 minutes and then drop the ball like I've done it before ... :-D

Merry Crimmah everyone! We had a good one. I've been painting and taking pics of most of what I've worn, but just haven't had the motivation to post. I suck. Fully aware. So, here's some picture spam!!

This one is really special. It's by OPI and called Dr. Pepper Cure and was handed out as a swag gift at a McDonald's trade conference or some such. I haven't been able to find ANYTHING about it on the net (google, ebay). My coworker owns a bottle of this color (her real job is at a dairy that supplies McD's with their mix for milkshakes and whatnot. Nifty.), and even though I don't particularly care for it, in general or on me, I WISH I had it just to say I had something rare, LOL! I didn't do a spectacular job of painting, which is why you only get a thumb. What can I say ... I was painting my nails at WORK! LOL! Just for you people, so you could see it! You're welcome ... ;-)


This next color is really nothing special. I think colors like this are called "mom colors" in the polishsphere, but I really love it for all it's tameness. Maybe it's because I'm a mom. Who knows. Maybelline Express Finish Cocoa Motion. I kind of love the name. As you can see though, there's nothing cocoa about it. It's way mauve. But whatevski. My complaint? The quality SUXXORS!!! OMG, it sucks so bad. I have other pictures, and wouldn't DREAM of posting them (that's why you got the single finger again, LOL!). I did a full on mani, sticky base, 2 coats color, 1 coat SV, and my nails looked like absolute CRAP within a day. Blah. GET WITH IT MAYBELLINE!! Your polish SUCKS!


Here's another Maybelline called Timeless Pink. Really pretty color (another mom color, lol), but I def think this is more peach than pink. It has a hint of shimmer (I wish it were creme), and comes with the same shatty quality as all the other Maybelline polishes I have (good thing I only payed a buck a piece!!). That's why Mr. Pointer is hiding in this pic.



And that concludes my spam. Sheesh. That's WAY anticlimactic. I thought I had more ... they must be on the camera (the last thing I DLd was Halloween! Eep!). I lost the cord too. :-( Santa DID bring me a new (slightly less lame) camera for giftmas though, so I'll have them up soon.


I hope everyone has a happy and safe New Year!!

Pin It!

I like the Dr. Pepper Cure. Pretty shade and my favorite soda. The other two are nice colors. Once you become a Mom are you supposed to wear these polishes? How about the Mom's wearing blacks and greens? The term annoys me. Also thinking people over 40 wear boring polishes. I'm grouchy!

All the colors are pretty but I think I like the Dr. Pepper Cure best.
