Have you noticed the longest posts are ones where I whine about having nothing to say? I’m going to try to back off on that. Not that I feel like whining today: it’ll be a while before the high wears off. A long while.
News from last night’s celebratory/goodbye dinner: brioche donuts are amazing and should probably be illegal for the public good. (Or, at least, my good.)
This is two colors from Sinful Colors’ current limited-edition releases, which I guess are for fall? Both have been in LEs before, so I may actually have one of them somewhere. In a box.
Sinful Colors 24 Karat:

Gold!..ish yellow. With plenty of visible nail tip. You can see clearly how nubby my nails are without the free edge; comes of chopping them down so violently all the time (or so I’ve heard, maybe it’s actually genetic).
This is a very pretty, IMO very classy, very sheer yellow gold. This is… maybe 4-5 coats? Too many, and you can still see the nail, which for this color is fine with me. I like it this way, but it’s clearly meant to add a gold sheen over something else. However, I went the opposite direction, adding French tips with…
Sinful Colors Fig:

With bonus fig-colored cuticles! This is probably the longest my nails have been in years, because I’ve been writing instead of robot-ing for the last couple of months. Poor robots.
This was made possible with nail art brushes (Thank you, Mama T!!). I still got Fig all over myself, but I’m getting there.
I really like this, you guys! I like both colors and the combo, I like the French tips, I don’t even particularly want to frantically hack off my weirdly-long nails yet. Neat!
