I knew that Angora Cardi was a color that some might call matronly and for a momicure mauve when I first picked it up. But that didn’t make a difference to me: I love mauves dangit. I think I just like how it looks on my darker skin tone. Now that I’ve worn it, I really love it. The color is pretty and the formula is fantastic. I decided not to do any stamping today because my konad stuff needs a little break. However, I did do an accent nail using Wet N Wild It’s All In The Cut. The collection that it comes from is probably my favorite glitter ever…and that’s saying a lot because I don’t usually use the words favorite and glitter in the same sentence. Were you able to pick up any of the limited edition Ice Baby ColorIcon Collection from Winter 2011? That whole collection was just beautiful but I hate how thirsty the glitter is; it sucks up topcoat like there’s no tomorrow.
So here is what my nails ended up looking like. Once again I was forced to take picture inside with artificial light because there was zero sun today. 🙁
Today wasn’t a really interesting polish day. This manicure feels safe to me but sometimes safe is good. I purchased 4 Sinful Colors polishes because they were on sale for $1.00 at Walgreens. Now I’m waiting for my 14 other Zoyas to show up….
I like mauves because they're a toned down purple, in my opinion. I have that Wet N Wild glitter along with the gold and some other color I can't recall at the moment.
I can't wait for my Zoya treasures to come. 🙂
How many did you end up getting? I ordered 14. Shoot me now.
I like mauve too! I think it compliments my tan skin as well. Glad you had a great time at the pet expo. Fingers crossed that you get your fur-baby soon.
Thanks Mavel! 🙂 I hope Stella's doing better.
You and your FOURTEEN zoyas! Haha. I was like "Wait- whose blog is this?!" when you said "my favorite glitter…" I like the color of that polish and the accent nail. At least in these pics it looks pretty purple for a mauve and I like that. Since you just picked up some SC polishes- have you ever used them for stamping instead of konad specials/etc? My friend said they work really well but it sounds weird to me since the couple I have are really thin. I COULD just try it myself but hey… I could also just ask you! ;p
I know, right? Me and glitter don't mesh but sometimes there are really pretty glitters that catch my eye. This mauve definitely has a lot of purple in it so it's darker and smokier than the usual mauves. I haven't tried my SC polishes yet, and I got really light colors so I don't know if they will really work for stamping. I am still really new at stamping with non konad polishes. I'm going to start trying them and marking them on my spreadsheet. I want to do so much crap on my blog but i've been too lazy.

I think i ordered 14 zoyas too :/ lol i KNOW i ordered 12, but i can't remember if 2 more sneaked their way in! I also ordered 2 colors from rescue beauty's fan collection, but unfortunately they weren't the 2 i am dying for 🙁 they sold out within hours *cries* now i have to stalk ebay..
That collection is really nice. I was confusing it with something else because I was going to say I didn't like it but looked it up. I'm sure the zoyas will take forever to get here because of the sale and then that stupid smartpost.
I hate smartpost!!! Grrrrrrr. I went ahead and paid extra for faster shipping on the first order, that way i'll have something to tide me over until the second one arrives 😉 i can't freaking wait for thakoon for nars to come out though! So much for "no more nail polish until my glasses bill is paid off" -.-
I saw swatches for the NARS collection, and I drooled. For a long time. Copiously. However, today I made a promise to myself to NOT buy anymore nail polish until I lose 10 lbs. haha! That will make me go to the gym alright. I have tons of untried polishes that should keep me busy. I ordered 14 polishes because that gave me free shipping…cause you know how I am about paying for shipping. lol I should have paid the extra $3 for faster shipping but I'm cheap so yeah….now I have to deal with smartpost. 🙁
Luckily i don't want ALL the nars collection. Just uhh most lol i'm not sure about the baby blue or the yellow, because i think i might have dupes, but we'll see 😉
Great now I want to make a Walgreens run 😉 enjoy ur new polish!!
Hehehehe! Master enablers all around. They had tons of polishes and I picked up a few that looked interesting. I hope they're nice. 🙂
