OPI - Ogre the Top Blue

I'm sorry, ladies.  I had trouble capturing this colour.  It's actually slightly darker than it is showing here.  In fact... indoors in some lights it even looks like a medium teal.  This blue looks more light blue and it's actually closer to a medium blue.  

It's application was fine.  Three coats and no problems.

Again, my apologies for not being able to capture it properly.

 With flash.  It was the only way I could get it true to life.  Natural light made it look blue.

Funky Dunkey applied well!  I'm relieved to start the non-pastels for ease of use!

OPI - Fiercely Fiona

Here she is!  This is picture heavy because I was having trouble capturing the colour.

Natural Light - I was worried it looked too much like Banana Bandanna

 Comparing the pastel yellow of my moiturizer bottle with the slightly green yellow of Fiercely Fiona.

Hope I was able to capture it ok!

OPI - What's With the Cattitude?

 Good morning ladies!

I have good and bad things to say  about this polish.

Application was a PITA. It took 4 coats and epic cure time under Seche Vite.  If it wasn't for the protective coat of Seche Vite I would have dents and sheet marks in this beauty.

Now for the GOOD.

This polish wear was amazing.  By morning it was solid. 4 mornings later... NO TIP WEAR... no chips... no cracks... perfect like the first day I wore it.

Now as someone who has not really owned a real pastel other than Banana Bandanna *cough* I'm totally happy I bought these.

Tomorrow I will be snapping pics of the Paper Chasing that will (hopefully) be traveling the world thanks to the genius idea by Annie of NAILSTAH!

I don't have much to say about this one right now.  It's a pretty colour and took 3ish coats to get a good solid look to it.  It was mildly streaky.  Wear isn't as good as What's With the Cattitude?, it had some little chips after about a day.

I'll post What's With the Cattitude tonight.  I had the photos sitting in the entry but when I went back to it to post only one photo was there.

Weekend Update and a Giveaway

Hello!
I have a few polishes to post this week but I was feeling a little "bleh" this weekend so I never got around to posting them.  I've put myself on a no-buy for a little bit (except polishes I promised to buy for swaps!  Don't worry, I have NOT forgotten.)  I dropped $50 on the Shrek collection and I'll post those as I try 'em.  I'm wearing What's With the Cattitude right now and it's awesome.  It needed about 4 coats and it will probably need a little while longer to cure but I think it's worth it.  Seche Vite has the top layer dry but it's still dentable.

Anyways,  some good news!  Konad-licious is having her first giveaway so I wanted to let you all know.  Go on at take a peek!

First Entry

Greetings to anyone who stumbles across my blog!

Since this is my first entry I will introduce myself.

I will be known as 'Skulda' to you, and who is Skulda? Well, she is a character I play on World of Warcraft. Yes. I am a nerd. Skulda is one of the 'Forsaken', the undead race of the Horde. All undead have what appear to be claws on their hands and toes.

So if you haven't figured it out already, I really like nail polish. I decided after pouring over so many nail polish blogs that maybe I would make one too. I do not have very much money so you will not see me post multitudes of swatches week after week, but I will post images here and there of my nails and the colours I apply to them. I will also mention that I am not a professional nail artist. I'm more of a noob who it trying to improve on my self-done manicures.

So! What brought me to posting today? I was browsing around the interwebs looking at nail blogs when I came across this article on alllacqueredup.com. I think I'd liked to get this whole collection. I'm normally not one for pastels, but I think these are adorable! What do you think?
