Salley Hansen FAIL

Sally Hansen, I got beef with you!

Picture taken by Corey Williams.

This is the SECOND Xtreme Wear polish that has been gloppy and messy and streaky and just plain nasty. I used "White On" for a base colour for my awesome Rescue Beauty Lounge - "Square Pants" that Brooke from Getcha Nails Did was sweet enough to send me as a swap. (Which I still need to choose some colours for her! I have not forgotten!)

NOTE: I am not angry about the yellow colour on top, I'm PI$$ED about the yucky white underneath. It applied like year old white-out. It looks like I applied while drunk. It was so hard to handle and the brush was flimsy, thin, uneven.
The yellow on top is RBL - Square Pants. It applied very nicely. The brush was nice. It wasn't streaky. No complaints. I put the white underneath because Square Pants is a sheer, and I wanted it opaque. The White by Sally Hansen = fail. I didn't even bother cleaning it up before snapping photos. Nope, I wanted to show it in all it's gooey glory.
And yes, the pictures are dark I took them in my bathroom because it's 11:30pm and there is no sunlight to be had. And yes, my fingers look like they have a major case of lobster hands. I was steam cleaning the carpets today and doing some WoW raiding so the blood was flowin' and my skin is pale and transparent so when the blood is pumping you can actually SEE the veins. Makes for a lovely photo, no?
So it brings me to this: I want suggestions for sheer undercoats. What do you use to make a sheer opaque? I don't want "white" or "nude". Tell me what you like to use. What brand and colour? Last time someone told me "white" I stupidly chose Sally Lameson Xtreme Fail and came out with the above.

Surf's Up Pre Order and NEW INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING RATES!

New colours from Rescue Beauty Lounge:

"Doesn't everyone want to be an uber-cool Surf chick? With that perfect salt-styled hair, glowing skin and laid-back attitude. Those sporty-fresh models at the Proenza Schouler Spring 2010 show inspired me to bring vintage surfer-chic to the beaches of Manhattan and beyond. I even learned some surf-speak to name our latest collection:


Diddy Mow, a surf term for a harsh wipeout, is a putty green—the color of sand through sea water, the moment before you eat it!


360° is a move where the surfer and board spin around on the face of a wave. It also is a gorgeous deepwater aqua blue polish.


And nothing sets off a tan (bottle or spray, of course) like Bangin'—a hot red coral like the sun sizzling on the horizon.


And if Spring weather seems far away, fear not. These colors are wonderful accents against late winter’s grays, browns and blacks.


Pre-order now—the web is already buzzing about these new colors. Then get ready to “hang 20” glamorous nails at your next mani/pedi.


As ever,
Ji

P.S. Check out out free shipping over $100 US and $200 international PLUS lower shipping rates and NEW home page. Remember this is a private sale shhhhhhh....
Items will be shipped when it comes in stock, we can not edit your order, you will be charged in advance before it gets shipped."


So after I got that email I busted ass to the site to check the new international shipping rates. Shipping has been reduced to $18.50 from $34.50. It's still not cheap, but it's a heck of a lot better than $34.50! I may actually consider getting some polishes from them now. ;)

Rescue Beauty Lounge

I have seen a lot of nail blogs cover Rescue Beauty Lounge, so I went and took a peek. I literally squealed with glee when I saw the following colours: Bikini Bottom, Square Pants , Starfish-Patrick. I probably would have thrown those in my cart imediately but when I noticed the $18 USD price tag my heart sank. Looks like I will have to wait until I have some extra cash before I order those.


UPDATE: I threw those colours into my shopping cart just to see how much it would cost to get those bad boys on my nails. The shipping for three polishes to Canada (international) was a massive $34.50. For shipping alone. Three nail polish bottles ended up costing more than $92 total. I left that shopping cart in cyberspace and ran for the hills.

I checked with an American friend and the shipping was less than $10. Huh?

There has to be an easier way for this Canuck to get that polish.
