Purple Parachute

Hello Ninjas!

It's almost Friday and that means it nearly the weekend. Does anyone have any neat plans for the weekend? I'll be learning cool secrets about the history of the Togakura Ryu of Ninjutsu on Sunday since my mother is far away on the West Coast. Hopefully you get to spend time with your mom this weekend!

Tonight's manicure is two coats of Purple Parachute from last year's Sephora Pantone Jewel Lacquer collection. This polish has been hailed as a dupe for the highly sought Scrangie but in reality the shimmer in PP is blue leaning teal instead of the green from RBL's Scrangie. Still, this was a pretty polish. The formula was a little on the thick side and not self leveling as I would have hoped thus the uneven look here.

Hello Kitty Night Sparkle

Hello Ninjas!

Hubby and I are currently working through the fourth season of Hell's Kitchen and I have to say, it's really fun to hear Gorgon Ramsey speak! We cancelled our cable a while back so we no longer have BBC America which is probably my favorite channel to watch. I've been getting my fill of British acting/TV via Hulu and Gordon Ramsey for a while now. I can't wait for Doctor Who to come back soon!

Tonight's manicure is Night Sparkle from Sephora's Hello Kitty line. Night Sparkle is a black base with duochrome glass flecks that flash both gold and green. With a thicker coat, you could get away with one layer of polish for opacity. However, since I lean towards the thinner coats I ended up with two easy coats for a pretty manicure! The sun was not cooperating with me when I was trying to take pictures of this polish. The sparkle is much more prominent int he bottle than on the nail but it does shine through more than my swatch lets on.

I love the Kitty shaped bottle!
