Mauve dotted

Only decorating two nails is still very decorative, but takes way shorter to do. :)
Easily created with a dotting tool or tooth pick, polish and rhinestones.

The flash washes out the colour a bit.

E.L.F Mod Mauve



Wow, I don't know what to say. On my nail polish bottle it says "Mod Mauve" and that's what I ordered. But when I look at the elf site, it looks.. Purple? I've also seen some swatches of "Mod Mauve" as being a lighter purple toned brown. The colour I have is a lot heavier, and the purple tone is barely there and it's darker.
 I can recall people talking about getting a slightly different colour under the same name before, so be aware of that.

Never the less, the colour is very pretty. A perfect fall colour. The formula is watered out, so you need three coats to get the coverage. Dries a little slow, and again with the fat brushes. Seriously, on my narrow pinkie nails I only have to do one motion to cover it all. lol

Three coats, no top coat. Daylight.

E.L.F Mint Cream


I decided to give e.l.f's polishes another try. And I'm starting with mint cream.

Application was a lot better today. The brush needed a little trim with the scissors, but hey. Sticking to the brush, it's fat and makes the application a little streaky. The formula is a little thin, and you need three coats to cover the nail. It also use a while to dry, soo again I will recommend a fast drying top coat.

Overall I think the colour is really pretty, and like it says, it's a mint coloured creme.  You can buy this at the e.l.f website for Europe or America. E.l.f is a super cheap brand if you're not familiar with it. (1$, 1.50£)

Three coats, no top coat. Sunlight.

TV shows


I just wanted to make a post about the shows I'm watching and recommend to others. Click the read more button for my list.


In random order, but added "Must see" behind the ones I really recommend to anyone.

The Big Bang Theory - Funniest sitcom around. A show about a gang of geeks and a pretty girl. Must see.

Haven - Sci-fi show based on Stephen King's Colorado Kid. This is a show full of odd events. SK style.

Eureka - Eureka! This show is pure genius. Based in a town full of science and smart people, and a sheriff that doesn't understand squad compared to the rest of them. Must see.

Hung - Show about a high school coach being a male prostitute. Need I say more?

True Blood - I didn't think True Blood was anything for me until I watched it. Great show with vampires, werewolfs, pigs, blood, sexy men.. You name it. A Show with a lot of action. Must see.

The Vampire Diaries - A more "cozy" vampire show. Not sure what to say, but like most vampire related things, there's sexy men here as well. Brothers even.

Warehouse 13 - This one gets linked to Eureka somewhere along the line. Special agents hunting for dangerous and fun artefacts.

Weeds - About a widowed mother trying to make everything go around. Getting deeper into illegal businesses. Very good show. Must see.

Chuck - Hot nerd herd geek, turning into a special agent. Love it. Must see.

The Gates - Behind the gates lies a safe community. However, you will find vampires and werewolfs here aswell.

South Park - Most perfectly created animation ever made. Full of rudeness and curse words. Must see.

The Simpsons - Who's not familiar with this funny animation family? Still going strong.

The Desperate Housewives - This show is underrated by men, imo. Drama and secrets makes a good show.


Gary Unmarried - Funny sitcom about the divorced dad, Gary.

According to Jim - Another funny sitcom about Jim and his family. Adult/fart humour.

Two and a Half Man - Aaand another funny sitcom about two brother living in a Malibu beach house. The drunk and the divorced dad.

How I met your mother - More funny sitcoms, this one about a gang of friends. Every personality different and funny.

The Secret Life of the American Teenager - I watch it, but I do not recommend it! It's a horribly slow show full of sticky drama and monotone talk.

Pssssst, http://eztv.it/ makes following shows super easy.

Incoco, Sinderella




As some of you know, I was trying out Incoco's dry nail polish when I went on a vacation this year. This is a nail polish that comes precut and flexible to just apply on the nail without any other tool. They're supposed to last up too 14 days.
For my review, click the read more button.



Application and removal

In the package, you'll find an easy step by step and a polish remover cloth.
Every strip of nail polish have two sizes, which is perfect if you have both square shaped and oval shaped cuticles like me. They're also in many widths, so they will fit everything from wide to slim nails.
I had some trouble finding the perfect way for me to apply these, so I got wrinkles on 8 of 10 nails. But you'll get the hang of it, it's not really that hard to apply as the strips are very flexible and wont stick well without a little pressure.
These strips contains top and base coat, so you won't even need to touch a bottle.
The removal is a pain.. The cloth that comes with it is utterly useless in my opinion, and I used probably 4-5 pads with acetone to get it off entirely.

Looks

Sinderella is a gooorgeous colour that suits everything. Very classy! The shine and colour stayed safe as long as I wore them.

Wear

Okey.. So I put these on the ultimate test. Here's how it all went downish.

Day 2: Washed the car with water and sponge, and the inside.
Day 3: Packing and going on a roadtrip. Harsh antibac gels used often.
Day 4: IKEA shopping, packing into the car (and 4 furnitures + extras is actually quite a challenge to shove into a Honda Civic).
Day 5: Unpacking and assembling some of the furniture.
Day 6: Scraping paint for probably 3 hours.
Day 7 and 8: More scraping and painting.
Day 9: Clean the cabin, and empty the outhouse.

How did they look after all this? Well, it started to crack on day 6, I've added a picture. But the polish stayed on the nail, nothing chipped or fell off. Amazing!
The polish stayed unchanged after day 6, except from some paint that got stuck in the cracks. Looked like cracking polish :)
I got some wear on the tips in the process of tearing off the excess polish, but that was my fault.

Conclusion
These are a little expensive for all year wear and horrible to remove, but perfect for vacations and festivals! Just like I predicted :)
Just be sure you have an acetone remover.

Day 3, looks the same as day 1


Day 6, looks the same as day 9




























Thank you Incoco for letting me try these.

China Glaze, Flying Dragon


This colour is just great! For more pictures and some information about it, click the read more button.

Daylight, with top coat







This colour is from China Glaze Ink collection, and I've been drooling for it quite a while. A gorgeous red toned neon purple. The fact that it's glitter in it, and it's a neon, makes the dried finish matte and gritty. So if you don't like that finish, you will need a nice top coat for this one. Application is perfect, and it dries super fast since it's a neon.

How WoW is treating me

Me and an in-game friend of my decided to do the first boss in TBC raid Karazhan in hopes of getting the mount he drops. Attumen the huntsman is the proud owner of the female horse Midnight, and the mount that drops have her looks,
Fiery Warhorse's Reins.

Attumen is pretty easy to do, at least when you're two. We do these sorts of farming in two ways:

1. My hunter and her bear Cutiepaij as tank in the BM specc, and my friend as a mage in frost specc for more survival.
2. My hunter as pure dps in survival specc, and my friend as a protection paladin.

To make it smooth without any risk of dying, we went with option 2.

Attumen have three phases. First you have to attack Midnight which is neutral. After you hit on her for a little while, Attumen comes to the rescue.
Now you have the both of them in front of you, just nuke one of them and he will mount Midnight before he or she dies and you're at the last phase. There might spawn some of the horses you previously killed during a fight, nukenukenuke. More nuking. Loot and hope for the mount.

I won the roll and got the mount.

Want to know the funny part? The day after, my friend got  Deathcharger's Reins which drops of Baron Rivendare inside Stratholme.I think Blizzard have heard our calls.

Here the proud ones stand, me to the left of course.
