Speak of the Devil

So today I checked the mail and got my nail polishes. I placed the order on the 30th of September and got them today, that is some epic fast shipping. As a bonus I also got some New York Times news paper from July LOL.

The colours I got are listed in the post above this one but for those who are lazy I purchased Pamplona Purple, No Spain No Gain and Do You Lilac It? All three are from OPI. The picture below is a comparison of MAC's Love & Friendship from A Rose Romance collection (left/index) and OPI's Do You Lilac It? (right/thumb) I would say that these two colours are quite similar however Love & Friendship is more on the pink side whereas Do You Lilac It? is more on the purple or lilac side. The picture is kinda' horrible so I will try to get a better picture on my camera when the sun is up again. Both of these colours are matte.

The picture below is a comparison of OPI's Pamplona Purple (bottom/thumb) and OPI's No Spain No Gain (top/index). These colours are also pretty similar... No Spain No Gain is more on the red side than Pamplona purple which is more on the purple side. I think that if you were to get these nail polishes, you'd be good getting either one of the two. Honestly, I am hoping it's just my lighting but at the moment I can not tell the difference at first unless I examine the colours closely. Again horrible swatches, but I will try to do a better one. Sorry. Perhaps I should swatch these on blank white paper?

Hope this helped,

Update

Yes those are my parents and I am mighty proud of them, aren't they lovely? :)

Hola people who are following me, so as you guys may know or rather will find out, I am going to try to lose weight, I've already calculated my daily calorie intake, a year ago I lost 10 lbs effortlessly by counting calories and some short yoga sessions. I am going to start as I find that works the best for me and was the most effective way. Today, I have to really start to try in Math. class, I can't fool around anymore it's been a month into school, I've had plenty of time to adapt to school. After I type this I am going to work on my English Semiotics Assignment. There's my goal for the school year, lose weight and do better in school. Actually there's another one, I want to grow my layers out, when I try to curl my hair it looks horrible and flat because my hair is so thinned out. I dislike it. I'd rather have thicker hair so that my hair doesn't get exposed to heat that much and so that it looks better when it's curl. I want to be able to braid my hair while it's damp, wake up the next day and be able to have nice waves in my hair not nasty pubic hair looking waves... for lack of better words. I supposed fried crimped hair would work but I like the first analogy more. :)

My mommy is finally back from visiting her ill mother out of the country. She was gone for a month and I find that her absence had made me realize many things and the fact that I love her and genuinely care about her. I am now trying to be a better daughter and appreciating her. I do believe I am doing a very good job at it :) EEEEEEE I'm just so happy she's back.

For those who don't know, here are some of the things that I have ordered online and will get soon:

144 Palette

Acrylic Nail Kit

White French Tip Nails

Fimo Canes

Mini Bows (for nails)

OPI Espana: Pamplona Purple

OPI Espana: No Spain No Gain

OPI _____: Do You Lilac It? (I fear that this will be too similar to my MAC Love & Friendship (Cream)Nail Lacquer from MAC's A Rose Romance collection)

Apple iPhone earphones with Mic (I ordered 3 at once since I know I will be losing them easily and because Apple earphones are such horrible quality they will break on me however I am left with very limited choices since I have an iPhone 2G)

Things I want:

OPI Lincoln Park After Dark

OPI Done Out In Deco

Over the Knee Boots

Lomography Diana Deluxe Package (If anyone has relatives in the states please tell me thank you)

Recently, I've really gotten into nail stuff. :| I think I kinda' made a bad choice when I ordered the Fimo Canes, I mean how often would I have the time to sit and do my nails especially since I am in my senior year of school. I am also thinking about getting the 28 neutral palette and the 88 shimmer, I am going to wait to see if the 120 palette in the 144 palette has a lot of shimmers in it, if there is then it'd clearly make no sense that I am going to order an 88 shimmer palette.

I will hopefully do a review on the stuff that I have ordered. I also need to do a haul entry or video from last month.... laziness :)

Well off to homework I go, toodles
