This is just a swatch of Sally Hansen's Be-Jeweled from the Gem Crush collection that came out a year or so ago. I still see them on the shelves and they've gone down in price sub-$5, which puts it right in line for Cheap Polish Tuesday. Be-Jeweled is a nice pastel-leaning purple glitter with bits of bigger pink highlight glitters. The application was great - everything went on smoothly. The first coat was a bit patchy but the second and half coats went on smoothly as the first coat just acted as a sticky foundation for the glitter. I used a coat of Seche Vite to make things smooth.
I think this polish is the PERFECT Arcane polish for something quick and easy. I might do some more advanced Arcane nails using a sponged technique like how I made the pastel galaxy but if you want some Arcane nails in a hurry, this is perfect! And affordable! Hello Cheap Polish Tuesday!
Anyone know how to get rid of this "underwater" "plugged" ear feeling when sick? Will it go away? I am honestly scared this is permanent! Anyone else enjoying Reaper of Souls for Diablo 3? I think the game is fixed and is absolutely AMAZING now! I am having so much fun! Now if I wasn't sick...
this has the bonus of looking very radiant orchid-y, too! TRES CHIC. i wish seche didn't shrink/chip horribly on my nails even when i wrap my tips, because all your glittery swatches look sooo smooth and lovely ;_;
ReplyDeletei've actually never played diablo, but a tonnnnn of my old WoW guildmates are popping up on realID since the new diablo patch/expac dropped, so i've been really excited to get to reconnect with a bunch of people.
WoW is kind of boring now because most of my guild is spending their non-raiding time on D3, so i've been thinking about giving it a go, but is it true that diablo is click-to-move instead of WASD? that seems crazy to me; i haven't played a click-to-move game in years. i'm not sure i could acclimate. D:
Man I hate Real ID! I just wish there was more settings because it looks like anyone that is on your list for Real ID can just crash your party any time they want I don't mind rolling with people but at least implement the option to make them ask. Grrrr.
DeleteDiablo is click to go but I think I got used to it. I play a lot of StarCraft and League of Legends so I guess for me, I was pretty used to it but for a game like D3, it makes more sense. WoW is more... 3D? Does that make sense? D3 is more third person than WoW is, I hope that makes some sort of sense. I am not making any sense at all, am I? Ahhhh...
Seche is great - I honestly will never use any other top coat - but I wear my polish either until it all chips off, or for a day. I am kind of scared this blue polish I am currently rocking is going to stain but I guess we'll find out tonight! Glitter always takes a real THICK coat of top coat to look good, or it always looks a bit bumpy I find. :( Especially if it's those dumb circle glitters. I can't believe no one ever says anything about the circle glitters. I HATE THOSE THICK CIRCLE GLITTERS!!!
... OK I feel better now, lol.
ahhh, i forgot that diablo let's people on your realID just be like "HEY SUP" and jump into your game. when d3 first came out i had a friend who complained about his real-life friends doing that constantly. and omggg, i haven't played league of legends in so long; i forgot it was click-to-move. i also played a really amazing (read: terrible) korean MMO called ragnarok online that was CTM. ~memories~~~~ and YOU'RE MAKING SENSE. ♥
Deletei am super with you on the circle glitters. i don't know why they're so much thicker than hex glitters or even the heart/star shaped ones, but they do stick up off the nail way more and require sooo much more topcoat. :\ i know one of the february rainbow honey polishes had circles in it that weren't bad, imo, but i still haven't tried my poffin party mini. :x hopefully the circles in it are thinner, because the color scheme is sooo cute!
I hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful colour, I love it! Glitter bombs are awesome!
My husband has been playing D3, he's quite excited about it. :)
I've been using and embracing more glitter ever since I got the Julep Party's Over glitter removal - Love those reusable caps. Way more efficient than the foil method!
DeleteI freaking LOVE Diablo 3. Seriously Loot 2.0 is the greatest thing ever and the TRANSMOG, YES.
May be too late now, but a rice sock can help with plugged ears. Just a cotton sock filled with raw rice and warmed in the microwave for a warm compress.
ReplyDeleteAlso my BFF did some of the chorus recording for RoS. I haven't got to do any video game soundtracks yet, just trailers and a very small number of movie soundtracks.
Ugh I ended up taking prescription drugs to actually unplug my ears! It was serious business! After a week it finally popped though - wow, so nice to hear again!
DeleteAnd that's SO awesome - what a friggin' honour to work on such a cool project!
