Enchanted Polish Space Ghost

I had told you that Mom and I went to Myrtle Beach.  It was the first time there without my Dad. We've been going there since I was fourteen-now I'm forty eight.  That's a long time.  I've told you before that I love Myrtle Beach to visit, but I wouldn't live there.

Anywho, my Dad always did all the driving.  Typical man who just never got lost.  Me, I'm clueless about what direction is east, north etc.  So Mom and I decided we were going to go to this mall to watch the new Star Wars movie.  Mom was the copilot with the map.  Can you see where this is going???

Yup, we got lost.

I was yelling at Mom the street intersections asking her which way to go and she was yelling back saying she didn't know where we were and I would yell back you have the map! The part you're missing is the f-bombs flying back and forth between us.  I would say "we're at the corner of such and such-which way do I turn?" Her reply would be, "I don't know where the f*ck we are!" My reply would be, "you have the f*cking map!" And so on and so forth. It got so bad that finally we both just started laughing and said that Dad was in heaven laughing his a** off at us.

BTW, that movie was so amazing.  We wonder just how much Mark Hamill was paid to be in that movie.  If anyone knows, please tell me!

The other cool thing we did in Myrtle Beach was to go and have lunch at the place we always ate at growing up. It was always a special occasion fancy place.  It was so popular and crowded that we would have to wait outside for an hour just for a table.  I remember as kids how that part sucked! It has been years since we had been there.  I mean years.

We got there and had a nice lunch.  It was a nice remembrance of times past.

We went to both Tanger Outlet malls.  I always stock up on stuff when I'm there.  New nurse shoes, new Jockey undies at the outlet store, new Coach purse.  This time I got a bunch of Crabtree and Evelyn lotion.  I love that stuff but the store here closed.  It's always better to pay outlet prices.

All right. Today's polish is not that pretty.  I again didn't have any sun, but even when I personally saw this in the sun, it didn't help the matter. Plus, it has micro glitter, which is a b*tch to remove.  Oh and to top it off, the blue stains bad.

Yes, this is not good at all.  It would have been better off just being a pretty blue jelly.  But the glitter doesn't add anything to this at all.

Until next time people.  Any thoughts out there?

Enchanted Polish Vintage

It's been a long time since I've sat here and written down my thoughts.  It's been a rough period of time for me. I've been overly depressed about my dad's passing, plus things at work have gotten bad.

I'm not going to get into the work stuff today.  What I want to say today is that I was truly thinking of quitting this blog.  I lost the love for nail polish and the nail community itself.  I tried makeup and while I am still rocking the colorful looks at work, I've stopped taking photos of them. I also gave up the false lashes.  Takes too much time!

The other issue I was grappling with is the fact that people out there feel it's OK for them to sit behind their computer screen and say sh*tty things to a total stranger.  I've never understood that. People today hate their life that much that they have to put a total stranger down to make themselves feel better.

A recent comment I got was this one, "you need to stop badmouthing other people, makes you look like a bitter b*tch." Gee, I didn't know we were BFFs and you can tell me something like that.  You know nothing of me or my life, just what I say here.  If you don't like what I have to say then f*ck off and go read someone else's blog, or better yet, start your own so I can go write nasty sh*t on your posts.  I pay my ten dollars a year to own this space.  So I can say and do whatever the f*ck I want.

Now if my mom were to come at me seriously and say, Fingers you really are sounding bitter, are you OK? Then I'd have to take that seriously.  But from some random a**hole out there? Nope.  Not happening. No more.

Normally, this stuff doesn't bother me, but between the depression, work and missing my dad, this comment just made me want to quit it all.  So I did.  For a time.  I went three weeks with no polish on at all.  I stopped looking at Instagram.  I deleted all my makeup posts. Then one day, I started wearing polish and taking photos, but not cropping them etc.  Then more days and I got the photos ready.

Then today, I decided to write a post.  I had gotten some messages that people were missing me and my blog and asked me to come back.  That really made me feel good.  I'm not making any promises, I'm here now.

Now the polish I wanted to show you is one that is gorgeous, but I had no sun to show off its glory.

This is a beautiful holo and I really love it.  I need to wear it again in the sun for full holo-ness.

Until next time people.  Any thoughts out there?

Nine Zero Twinkle Lights, Liquid Sky Lacquer Autumn Thyme

Tomorrow, I shall be heading to Myrtle Beach.  One of my favorite places on earth.  Have been going there my whole life.  I just love the neon lights and all the kitschy touristy stuff.  No I wouldn't want to live there, but oh yeah I love to visit.  This year my job let me take a whole week off.  Before I usually was only there like four days.

Mom and I have tons of shopping and ocean waves listening to do. I won't promise that there will be posts to read while I'm gone.  It's going to depend on if I get the time.  If not, just know I'll be back of course!

Got a quick Annoying story for you.  I haven't had any lately as I've been ignoring her and she was moved out of my office.  They hired a new nurse (not new to nursing-new to us) and they had Annoying train her as it was her doctor the new hire was going to take over.  That doctor hates Annoying and begged for a different nurse.

Anywho, instead of training her, Annoying stated and I quote, don't touch anything, just follow me around and watch what I do.  May not be an exact quote as I wasn't there, but that was the drift. So this poor new hire pulled my coworker into an exam room to b*tch.  The new hire then went to the boss regarding this as well. When I heard the story, my reply was, that new nurse needs to grow a pair and tell Annoying off.

I then happened to leave the office to do stuff and when I got back, my office mates had assumed that I had spoken to Annoying about this.  They were all like did you tell her off? I replied nope, not getting involved, it's not my clinic she's messing with.

Oh and yesterday my other coworker who does breast cancer got to go to the fanciest restaurant in town for lunch.  She gets to go every year while me and my other coworker don't.  It's a damn pink world people and the rest of the more deadly cancers remain ignored.  Yes that's my rant and I stand behind every word.

You will never believe what you are about to see. An actual glitter polish that once I saw it, I HAD to have it and I actually love it.  Now you all know how much I hate glitter and the two bottles I do own are black and white glitters.  I never ever thought I'd find a glitter I'd actually want to wear.  This is that one.

Although next time I need to either do more layers, or wear it over white which I almost did. I present to you Nine Zero Twinkle Lights.

This is a silver holo with tons of colored round glitters.  It's freakin amazing people.  The one glitter I look forward to wearing again!

Next up is my very first Liquid Sky Lacquer.  Autumn Thyme.

Sadly, the sun was not out for this. It's still a super gorgeous green holo though! Yes my nails are wonky.  I have since cut them down, reshaped them and while in Myrtle Beach am planning on nekked nails and oiling the hell out of them.

Until next time people.  Any thoughts out there?

Makeup Geek Taupe Notch, Daydreamer

My mind just went blank.  What the hell was I going to talk about today?

I'm seeing more and more blogs end.  People's lives get in the way, passions change or they just do something different.  My blog will be five years old in May.  That's a long time in blog years as most of the older ones have stopped blogging but for a few of the bigger ones.

People who read blogs make up fantasies about that person's life.  It makes me wonder what you guys think my life is like just from reading my posts.  I bet you'd be very surprised to learn the truth.

Maybe someday I'll tell you.

Would it ruin the allure? Would it ruin the perfect facade you've created in your mind as to what I'm like?

I love to watch the TV show Snapped.  I think I've told you before that I am a voice person.  I have to like your voice if I'm going to date you etc.  On the show Snapped, the female's voice is just awesome to me.  I've been listening to her for years.  I made up a picture in my mind based on that voice what I thought she would look like.

Then I saw reality and I was totally wrong.  I had pictured her one way, but in real life she looks completely different.  Now when they show her face while talking, it seems like the voice is real, but the person is just lip syncing.  Does that make sense? I won't say it's ruined the show for me, but it's going to take a while for me to come to grips with it and change the picture I had in my head.

It's just like if you read a book and you picture a character a certain way then they make a movie and the person playing that character is not what you pictured in your head. Does it ruin the movie for you?

I don't want to ruin the fantasy you have about my life if you even have one.  Dayum.  I'm all sorts of full of myself even thinking you guys put that much thought into it.

Let's move on shall we?

This is Makeup Geek Taupe Notch, Pretentious and Bada Bing.  Ardell Natural lashes.  It was a very simple look so I didn't do closed lid looks.

This was a purple fest.  I was even wearing purple head to toe that day at work.  I was all matchy matchy.  This is Makeup Geek Dragonfly, Caitlyn Rose and Motown.  Ardell Natural lashes, which I am loving but they are so fragile I ruined a pair in less than a week.

I try to make a pair last a week and usually I can but these are going to require extra special effort.

I hope you like this!

Until next time people.  Any thoughts out there?
