Feeling bitchy today

Warning, long rant ahead...but let's take a look at this first:

This is L'Oreal Resist and Shine #737 which is described as black with a khaki shimmer.  One coat.  It looks pretty much black at almost every angle.

I stamped it with Essence Just In Case and BM16.  Simple and subtle...I like it.

So now onto the bitching...
I'm annoyed again with some bloggers.  Maybe I should stop reading them and just look at all the pretty pictures.  When the Justin Bieber polishes came out I read a lot of comments on them - mostly negative.  Some bloggers even said they were 'ashamed' to own a JB polish!  This infuriated me really.  So his music isn't your cup of tea...so what?  It's not mine either.  But there is no doubt that JB is an incredibly talented kid and a great role model for young people.  Music aimed at young girls always seems to be the butt of a lot of jokes.  I can understand that the JB line of polish gave pause to most people at first because he's a guy, but the best thing about that polish (besides some great colours) was that part of the proceeds were given to a charity.  I don't typically give a crap what is on the label if I like the polish.  But to say that you're ashamed to own it because you 'don't like' the person whose face is on it?  Ridiculous.  If anyone has a good reason why JB is so terrible I'm all ears.

Now this new Kardashian line that everyone is fawning all over is the inspiration for this rant.  Yeah people seem to be really excited over this one...um, granted I don't know a whole lot about their family but what I do know (besides the fact that they are famous for nothing other than being rich) is that one of them is an unwed young mother, one of them has a sex tape and their father got OJ off, correct?  Now this is not my own personal opinion, but a lot of people consider some of what they've done as immoral.  So how come it's cool to buy a polish with their name on it but it's such a crime to own a Justin Bieber polish?

So yeah I don't necessarily like the Kardashians but if I like the colours I'll probably buy a couple.  Why?  Because I love polish of course!  Isn't that why we're all here?

Be nice dammit :)

I'm a Troublemaker...

Not really a fan of Weezer, but this polish name reminds me of that song.  This is 2 coats of Sally Hansen Salon Manicure in Troublemaker.  It's much more plum than the photo.  The accent nail is Xtreme Wear in Celeb City.  This is the first time I've tried out the accent nail thing.

I wish so much that this polish had stamped darker on the accent nail, but oh well.  I used plate BM16 for the accent nail and Konad plate m35 for the rest.  I'm not a fan of this at all.  I think the accent nail looks best when it's done in a glitter of the same colour.

Oh and this was the first time I tried the Konad Top Coat from my Pro Salon Kit.  It's unfortunately pretty old so it had some gritty pieces in it, ugh.  I was impressed that it didn't streak at all though with almost no wait after stamping.  However, Konad polish has a really distinct smell to it and it doesn't go away easily.  Probably won't use this again.

So you know it's real bad when your friends and family feed your nail polish addiction...

My sister texted me yesterday from Zehrs (a grocery store) telling me that she was standing in front of a display of the NOPI Bieber polishes with 50% off stickers on them!  It's even more pathetic when she's asking if I want the blue one and I can actually tell her the names of the polishes I want!  Oh and it goes even further...I told her to grab One Less Lonely Glitter when I already own the Studio M dupe!  Is there a support group for this?
