OPI: Solitaire

Hello hello hello. Such a busy day and it's not even done yet. Took my mom's van for inspection (thankfully it passed the first time) then when I was getting the registration taken care of I notice that her plates are expired and I have to do that, too. Thankfully it was an easy process all at the same window. *phew* Aaron offered to come with me through all of that (though I think I'll be on my own when I take care of the car...) so I took him up on it. :p So it wasn't all as bad as it could have been. Not to mention I had some pretty pretty nails while I was out being all responsible.



Solitaire! This is three coats, and they're still a bit sheer. It doesn't bother me much, though, because the VNL isn't super obvious or dark like it can get with creams and shimmers. Texture disguises VNL. ;) Solitaire looked pretty frosty when I saw her on Swatch & Learn, but in person it really isn't. It is a little bit, but mostly it looks like crushed diamonds!



As soon as I got that in my head I couldn't stop thinking of Shiva from Final Fantasy. DIAMOND DUST!! Which, if you don't know, is actually an ice attack. LOL Like I said, three coats. Drying time was really quick. Three coats and out of the house in 45 minutes with no issues. Well, one tiny issue, but it's with all of the texture polishes. Don't stick your fingers in anything. :p I need water and a scrubby brush to keep these polishes clean and white especially has been bad about showing grime. Mostly motor grime today between swapping the plates and having to gap the spark plug in the mower since I forgot to yesterday. As soon as he asked me I remembered my dad showing me how, but it just totally escaped me when I was putting it in. Hopefully that's why it wasn't shutting off because I really don't want to have to open it up to check out the safety lever. Or whatever it's called.

I don't know if she's doing any better, but I just checked on Saleen and she was sitting up and looking back at me. I'm going to pick up a can of tuna and see if she'll eat that. Cristy S found a daily post thing for June (check it out here) and some of those look really interesting so I'm probably going to give that one a go as well. Ya know, since everybody responded so positively to the last one and it doesn't look like anybody OD'ed on me. lol No worries! Before I fire up Sims I'll get the rafflecopter thingy worked out and have my giveaway posted on my next polish post. Tomorrow! Like I said. Because I'm trying to lie less. LOL Tomorrow I will be swatching Dosh and then Sunday will be Tiffany Case! Fiona just shipped so I should get that soon. Still working hard on tablet monies. Made the SwagBucks goal every day this past month, and right now I have enough for the 5 discounted amazon cards. So all of next month will be "extra". I'll do another big rundown towards the end of June. My brakes will be fixed by then so hopefully I'll have some real life monies to add to the total.

And..... that's it? I think. Hope everybody has a fantastic weekend!
