My ouchie! - Graphic Photo**

Hey guys,
So I was meaning to post my nail foil fail but never got around to it as my other half's family came to visit. When they left - I then decided I would post it next time I got by a computer. Sadly, the most horrific thing ever happened! Okay, maybe not the most horrific...but pretty damn close! At least for me!

On Sunday I was cutting a 1/2 frozen english muffin when I cut myself on my left hand. Now when I say cut myself, I don't mean a little cut, I mean like full blown to the bone - or so I thought..

I went to a Medicenter which was suppose to stitch me up in no time, in and out in an hour or two... but nope.. I waited about 2 hours to have them tell me that I infact did a lot more damage that first thought.. I cut right through my joint capsule - hit part of my tendon and nicked my nerve. FABULOUS!

So then the medicenter had to send me away to the hospital.. =[ and even worse, I had to see a hand surgeon =[ You guys don't know this about me - but i'm terrified of surgery, or being opened up or...blah anything like that!!

I was already panicing, but now... fml.

In the end, this is what I looked like - this picture isn't *so* gorey - so I'll post it =[ I haven't been able to do my nails in almost a week. I am still wearing this nail polish that I did 10 minutes before it happened. (Which is Color Club Take me to your Chateau and Revlon Whimsical)

** warning photo below**

In the end I got 9 stitches, 4 internal, 5 external. When the surgeon left I was told by the assistant nurse that he really should have put more in... uhh, please don't tell me that! LOL

So I am still sometimes bleeding even a week later =[ proof that I needed more than 9 stitches.

Wish me well!! please =]

Here is me making a sadface =[ after 10 hours in ER =[

Diagonal French Tips

I love this Mani!! I wore a few days! The top photo I took just to show the holographic goodness! Although it's not really true to colour (Like the image below!)

For this Mani, I used Julep Jamie, which I LOVE the colour, but it was such a pain to apply... The formula was so thick that with one layer (as pictured) it would flood my cuticles, become thick and uneven and also take forever to dry.. that was even with wiping the brush off on the side of the bottle a hundred times, Yikes. Also, I got polish everywhere because of the awkwardly long brush that comes with julep polishes.. =[

(This photo is true to colour)

After waiting about 15 minutes for my top coat to dry, and spritzing some OPI Rapid Dri spray - I did a little bit of tape manicuring and topped the tips off with the beautiful Milani Cyberspace. OMG I LOVE THIS COLOUR! It's beautiful!! I bought this polish about 7 months ago, and haven't used it until now.. and I greatly regret that desicion.

In fact, I loved this mani so much, I did it on my toes too! Only I did it with purple, I used yet another Julep polish (Anne and Hi-Res. I will have to do it on my nails and take a photo. Seriously amazing.

Secret Agent Swatch

Today I am swatching Color Clubs' "Secret Agent" from the Alter Ego Collection, These are the 'dark' polishes of this collection. Sorry, I am reviewing these older polishes (that have already been reviewed a thousand times), as I am just starting my collection, and these are the only ones I have right now. I am hoping to get with the times soon! And get more upto date polishes to swatch and review =]

Now, to start - I am actually pleasantly surprised at how nice this polish is. I read some reviews on this on how it can cause bald patches, or it was very streaky although I didn't find either. For me, It was a smooth, buttery application and covered well. I got it pretty opaque in one coat, but did two coats for good measure.

The polish has a nice purple/ blue tone with pink shimmers in it. It had a nice colour even without a top coat, but I added one just to make it really smooth and shiny =]

Once again, I haven't been able to find my charger, so the pictures are from my phone. Please don't mind the mess that I created on the side of my nails, and at the bottom.. I really didn't notice how bad it was until I took these photo's.

Also, maybe it's just because I am taking photo's with my camera under artifical light - but these photo's don't do this polish justice!

This photo is a tad better at showing the 'true' colour of this polish

Until next time - Adios!
