Stressed and femme

[flexagon]

Sometimes stress makes me go oddly femme, and I find myself looking at the Urban Decay or MAC page when I should be working. I want to go to Sephora this weekend, I think... eyeshadow primer looks like a very good thing, and I want more eyeshadows in brown, taupe, and bronze (love my Naked2 Basics, but honestly only a couple of the colors there). I want some brownish purplish something.

You know what else I used to have? A concealer for under-eye circles that actually worked on me. It was glorious, but my color changed. I should try again.

Anyone local feel like a Sephora trip?

Wow, I wish you luck! Have never had much success with fingernails. I do recommend Vinylux though. If I have a manicurist do it, that stuff really does last almost a week, and she's not doing anything special beyond using pure acetone as a cleaner beforehand.

Looking at all the colors remains very soothing. I shall most certainly buy eyeshadow primer and report back. :)

Turns out that the "red Sally Hansen" bottle that I kept seeing on xovain.com is also an instant drying top coat - wait 2 mins after your last colour layer, put this on and bam, dry! This is going to revolutionise my life, no more waiting 15-20 minutes between coats to be absolutely sure I don't mess it up. :-) Nails are still perfect today (okay, it's only been two days, but I'm encouraged, there's been a lot of typing).
I think I've had a pro mani maybe 3x in my life? They tend to cut back my cuticles too much and then the skin peels for a week. :-/

oh yeah, I don't let them touch my cuticles. Color only.
