China Glaze: Cast A Spell

Hello darlings! (^_^)"/" hehehe Love that. Anyways, yesterday was another big family barbeque. Usually I can restrain myself and act all demure and whatever. I think I went overboard with the girly dress and stuffed myself in a sort of... revolt... of some kind. Seriously stuffed. I had a full plate and a half of bbq (nearly all meat and starch) and a slice of apple pie. Serious indulgence regret. Frankie (my brother-in-law) and I just kind of melted into the couches and didn't move much after that. Like Autumn (sister-in-law) said, though, "It's not like we do this all the time, right?". Sure she was coming from a diabetic standpoint, but it still fits... still... way stuffed. A few laxatives (ew TMI) helped with the bloat, but still. Can't do that all the time either. >_< To top it all off, in all of the excitement I totally forgot to pick up more polish remover! *dies* So what's a self respecting psycho nailphile to do? Paint over the old polish, of course!



Cast A Spell is amazing. Interesting, one coat was fine for opacity on the tape fingers, needed two to fully cover Beauty On Tour on my middle finger... So I'm saying it's a two-coater. If you want to be safe. Dry time was amazing, even over the six layers underneath. Oh, right, Cast A Spell is a dark green with... what looks like gold shimmer. Not bright gold, but like an orangey gold? Bronzey coppery gold... ish.



That's in my shadow. To cut the glare. So you can see! The shimmer. :p Yes! I am fully aware that I have an off-season Halloween mani here. Even with the flowers, birds and rhinestones that's kind of hard to get around considering the colors. lol I'm okay with it. Makes up for having skipped over it last Halloween. Actually, I need to leave myself a note to do a comparison between Cast A Spell and Edyta. I'm about halfway done transferring my stash page pics to the other photobucket. Coming along, slowly but surely; as my grandpa used to say. Since I nailed the Pierogies, Frankie wants me to try and make Paczki... That is probably going to be difficult. Will have to ask him what kind of filling he wants, because I don't know that I'll be doing that part from scratch. Dough? Sure. Filling? I dunno... I haven't made jam since I was a kid kid. (I can hear my grandma now, "You mean child, kids are baby goats". Yes, grandma....) No idea why my grandparents are suddenly spectrally hovering, but whatever.

I did pick up polish remover today, so I'll be starting fresh for tomorrow with... Julep... Let's say Karen. The peachy one. It looks sheer, but buildable. I think, perhaps, I'm going to take a nap before starting on my nails. Why not? I caught up on the dishes. I deserve a nap. ;) Y'all have a great weekend!!
