weird experiences

peeling nail polish. i normally don't use an undercoat or anything.. but lately, when i've been using my dark colored nail polish, it started to get into my nail (made it look dirty) so i figured yesterday.. eh.. why not. since i didn't have a base (go figure), i decided to just use my clear wet n' wild top coat (clear) and it worked pretty well. today, i noticed some chipping so i poked at my nail like i usually do when i'm half-assedly chipping at it and... it peeled! the nail polish just peeled off. i probably had the hugest WTF look on my face so i started poking at my other 2 nails that i was sort of bothered with.. and.. they peeled too! not completely clean but the majority of the color came off. it was.. WEIRD :| have you guys had that happen before?? i remember hearing about nail polishes that you could do that with.. but the one that i used was definitely not one of them (at least not that i was aware of). oh, and i'm in love with the color i'm using now :) NYC's 115A.. skin tight denim creme. i don't really know if that's the actual name :| go figure.. but.. it's an awesome lustre-y dark blue.

realistic dreams (not fantasy). i "wake up" and go about a fairly normal routine.. ex, this morning i "woke up" and i was walking around the neighborhood, taking pictures. later i wake up and.. i've been sleeping the whole time. wtf? NOTHING out of the ordinary, no weird psycho fantasy dreams.. a normal every day something-i-would-be-doing dream. trips me out sometimes :|



anyway, had to get those off my mind before i could type anything else. plus i figured those were lots more interesting to you non-makeup-users :)



SO! i was at longs drugs, trying to find the same top coat nail polish.. just.. because.. you know, it was decent plus it had that really cool effect (unless it was just some weird side effect of me not using it for awhile.. or.. something, i dunno). either way, i was searching around.. could NOT find it. got distracted by some neutrogena lip glosses (looking for a peachy color, since i keep seeing so many pretty FOTD that all use some sort of peachy colored lip gloss).. got distracted by the NYC nailpolish colors (was sort of looking for a dark lustre-y red.. but saw a pretty cool dark purple--but it had some weird blue reflect/shine that i didn't like). i turned around, remembered what i came for and... GASP!

NYX stand at the nearby longs drugs! ironic because i was JUST looking through another MU blog and saw her "NYX" category.. looked through.. and found out SHE had a NYX stand at her work :| and was thus jealous. es are $6/ea (instead of $5/ea like online). AAHH. they replaced the wet n' wild stand with NYX (or at least wet n' wild used to be around that area).. and i could not resist :| bought "oro" (gold-copper), "alaska" (dusty purple w/ slight silver reflects), "ocean" (blue-green with slight green reflects) and "green tea" (green w/ slight gold reflects?). pics when i get un-lazy enough to get off my butt and find it.. which will.. probably be before the end of this entry :| definitely colors that i was looking at buying when i was ordering offline but figured i didn't need them either due to my mindset of "i don't need more than one shade/hue of one color" and "i'm a cheap asian.. yet i'm spending. must be more frugal! *deletedelete*".

wandered back to the NYC stand.. and hidden in the back, underneath all the "last chance! 50% off!" signs, misplaced and alone.. was this GORGEOUS dark red (pinkish??) lustre-y nailpolish.. that was incidentally one of the ones that was 50% off. of course i didn't find the REAL price so when i went up to the register, the lady asked me how much it was.. i just told her it was 50% off.. so it could've been less :| who knows. i'm hoping it's actually going to be red on my nails 'cause i just swatched it on paper and it seems more of a dark pink-fushia. who knows. i'm sure it's just my eyes playing tricks on me. like right now i keep focusing with my left eye only and it's making my head hurt -__- damn lazy eye!


anyway.. i ordered some stuff off ELF.. and i have another sephora order too. i was hoping the roomie would be there just in case it came over the weekend (for whatever reason.. or even today) but he's gone :| oh! i can check with my tracking number.. if the internet would work. but.. yes.



did i partake in black friday? YES! well. sort of. i went to mervyn's (as you all know, ALL the stores are closing). the entire store was at LEAST 50% off.. and i ALSO could not resist. but.. beyond christmas shopping (for other people!) this will be the LAST money i spend--besides on food and groceries--that i will be doing for at LEAST a couple months. until bryant's birthday rolls around in early feb :| and valentine's day shortly after. huh, and HE complains that my birthday and our year anni's are in the same month.. his isn't that much better. jerk :| hahha, i kid, i kid. and even with everything being 50% off, i still managed to get about $125 worth of stuff. 4 shirts, 1 sweater dress and 1 pair of ankle boots (love!).


damn, i guess that means i should go find my camera now...
