Don't Mess with Me


I borked a nail.  In my defense, I did so changing my oil.  "Don't Mess with OPI" and don't mess with a girl who changes her own oil.  I thought it would be fun to take a nail pic while my hands were still all dirty and I hadn't yet fixed the nail.

The OPI Texas collection was one of those that really didn't blow my mind when I first saw it, but a good year after it came out, I find I now own four of them!  I stumbled onto a buy-one-get-two free OPI clearance at the Wal-Mart salon the other day.  Score!  I added the above "Don't Mess" to my collection, along with the below, "Guy Meets Galveston."  They join "Austin-tatious Turquoise" and "Houston, We Have a Purple."


I luuuuuuurv jellies.  (Oh, 'scuse me, Suzi, "sorbets.")  Has a nail polish collection ever sneaked its way into your stash like that?

I love jellies, yes I do, I love jellies, how bout you?

And here we are at another Pink Wednesday!

Today I've got another of Revlon's gorgeous scented summer sparkly jellies, Grapefruit Fizz.  I haven't had a lot of experience with jellies before this, and I'll tell ya, I'm sorry it took me so long.  These things are GREAT!  I'm not sure if you've noticed, but I am both impatient and shaky of hand.  Thus the wonder of jellies!  They're so sheer that you'd have to screw up in exactly the same place three or four times before anyone would be able to see your foul-up!  I know a lot of people will complain about VNL on these, but it doesn't bother me at all.  Frankly, I think that just helps it look a bit more natural, if that makes any sense at all.

Okay, enough chatting about it.

What's up with the yellow tipwear? 

Tipped with Zoya Sweet
Now, get thee to a drugstore and pickup this collection!  Gotta catch 'em all!

And he shall be my Squishy.

I had...an odd Sunday.  It rained, so of course the power went out.  For four hours.  *Sigh*  I took the first two hours as permission to take a nap, but when I awoke, I found myself bored and sick of the quiet.  So I set to work taking a shower by candlelight and figuring out how to free my car from its automatic-garage-door prison.  Once that was done, I set off in search of the two things most vital to my existence:  food and nail polish.

I picked up a lovely little surprise at Rite-Aid.  It isn't the Revlon Just Tinted that I was looking for, but it's close. 


This is Watermelon Fizz, one of Revlon's obnoxiously scented polishes.  Its smell is not nearly as overpowering as Not So Blueberry, which I could barely stand to wear, and the color makes it SO worth it.  This squishy, glittery red jelly made my camera go "HUH?", and that ought to tell you something about the kapow factor going on here.  Have I mentioned that I really like it? 

Stay tuned, kids.  This Pink Wednesday I'll bring you another into this charming round of Revlon scented polishes. 

OH!  I almost forgot.  Remember that unlike-me-mani I promised?  Well, you're just going to have to wait.  I decided that it had potential, but wasn't ready for primetime TV yet.  Someday!
