This afternoon, I gave my presentation for the conference du jour. It went well; I felt underpracticed, but since this material is part of my job talk that’s really not true. Anyway, I got some laughs from the audience, which isn’t possible if they’re not engaged, and some good questions, so I was comprehensible. It was a small turnout, but it was scheduled during the very last session; a lot of people were already on planes.
C’est la travail. (And oooo I need to write about Québec so much.)
As mentioned, I recently bought a small mountain of Hearts & Glass polish. (Actually I bought three, then after quick swatches went back and bought every color I found interesting.) Here is:
Hearts & Glass Cloud Nine:

Pretty turquoise! Also, pretty French tip color for next time. Not teal, at least in indirect Pacific northwest sunlight in summer. The color’s pretty accurate, even.
I have had the worst time finding any information about this brand, even proof that it exists; this page is the best, only, thing I’ve found. And I really like them: The three colors I’ve worn so far are all excellent, easy to work with, one- to two-coat coverage, no staining.
So: here are a whole bunch of bottle shots, internet. Of Hearts & Glass Nail Polish. Polish polish hearts and glass nail lacquer polish google tag hearts and glass. So there.

Cocoa Loco <?>, Bronze Goddess, Leading Lady <?>, Daring Duchess. Doesn’t it almost actually look bronze in this picture?

Wizard of Ahs, Lucky Clover, Sexy Sorbet, Tangerine Tease. The only reason Rebel Yellow isn’t here is because I have enough yellow polish and I didn’t realize it was named Rebel Yellow. I could not have resisted that.

Bronze Goddess and Daring Duchess again, because maybe you want to see them from the front, I dunno?
Color names are basically guesswork, because the bottles are in boxes, because everything I own is in boxes, some of which I may see again someday. ARGH MOVING. I will update if I ever see the boxes again.
My best guess after packing, by the way, is that I have around 400 bottles of nail polish, about half what I had wild-ass guestimated a while ago. (From this one can conclude, correctly, that binges of buying 20 bottles at a time are actually quite rare.) That’s not a bad estimate, but it’s not good either. When I unpack I might actually pay enough attention to figure out things like brand percentage… or I may be swamped with the new life. Hard to know.
