Nars Zulu..... & An Owie




My awesome nail polish friend, Carina, from gildednails.blogspot.com, sent me Nars Zulu! I know, she's awesome right???

After 2 coats it was semi bald in some places so a 3rd was needed. The third coat turned a beautiful dark green color into a near black so I was a little disappointed.
Truly, after seeing this color IRL, it's gorgeous... BUT I really can't see what all the fuss was about in demanding this color be brought back. I like my Hong Kong Chichi dupe better than Zulu and it only cost me $2. See here for pics: http://konadlicious.blogspot.com/2010/08/its-close-to-nars-zulu.html

First 2 pics are in natural light with a flash, third pic in natural light with no flash.

And then THIS happened.


Opening the fridge door for goodness sake!! Hubby has Epoxy resined it closed hoping to keep it that way until it grows out past the quick.....it's already come away from the corner so I am not holding out much hope for it.

Bye bye nails :(

    That looks bad! I am sorry for you.. Shorties are really not that bad but I hope it grows back fast! Since I mastered the art of gluing nails, I always try that before filing everything down :(

    Carolina! You naughty, naughty girl! Come here and lay over my knee so I can spank your bottom! You seriously are the BESTEST!

    Thifa. I tried to glue it but it came undone after my shower so I admitted defeat and cut it off. It looks horrible.

    Thanks all, it will slowly come back again. I'm seriously thinking about multi vitamins tho!

    Ouch! That looks seriously painful and heartbreaking. Hopefully it doesn't take too long to grow out.
