I love my, love my, love my Galaxy Girl!

Yeeeaaaaah, sweet Galaxy Girl!  Also, yadda yadda about Interplanet Janet. 


Okay, now that the pop-culture references from my childhood are out of the way (not that I'm old enough to have been around when Neil Sedaka was on the radio or Schoolhouse Rock first aired), meet Orly Galaxy Girl!


Outdoors, cloudy
Oooh, I love her.  Tipwear showed up really quickly, but other than that, I've got stars in my eyes for this polish.  (Wah wah.)  What you see above is two coats.  I like this polish so much that I came home and threw on another layer of color and another layer of topcoat so I can get another day out of it.  It really looks better with three coats, if you want my advice.

Weekend Haul!

I recently discovered that my friend Kristy shares my lacquer obsession, so of course we HAD to make a run to Ulta together.  She'd never been, and as predicted, her jaw hit the floor.

Wanna see what I got?  Of course you do!

Essence What Do U Think and Choose Me.  Love these little bottles!

I only had two goals in going:  Essie Matte About You and a dotting tool.  Turns out, they don't carry much in the way of art supplies (that's okay since Sally does), but I DID grab the Essie matte coat (not pictured).  I was really pleased, though, to get a little bit of something from lots of different brands, including some I hadn't tried yet.  I'm also excited about Essie Sandy Beach.  I'm hoping it will be my mannequin hand color.

To wrap up the day, Kristy and I chose which manicure we would each do first from our selection.  Here's what she chose, and I LOVED it!


This is an OPI Houston We Have a Purple matte/shiny French.  I'd have to say that this color isn't really very purple, but it IS gorgeous.  It's is my first jelly finish, and I can already tell I'm a fan.  (Although it dried with LOTS of bubbles...is this common?)  I can also already tell that I'm gonna have lots of fun playing with the matte finish.  I've said before that I'm not totally on the matte train, but it DOES make for a really fun accent.
