Good morning, everyone. It's finally an absolutely gorgeous day here in Pleasantville. Not a cloud in the sky, 72 degrees, slightly breezy. Looooovely. Unfortunately I'm dreading this evening. There is this big event thing happening at Coffee Inc. and we're expecting a ton of people. I have to work until midnight. Who will be drinking coffee at midnight, I just don't know. Me, probably. Anyway, my nails...
Here is Wavelength. This polish has a lot of personality but it's definitely difficult to capture on camera. It's has a lot going on; a shimmery, glittery pink with a slight amber/orange duochrome. You can kind of see the amber duochrome in the last photograph. Very pretty, isn't it? Here's a macro so you can see the glitter.
Actually, the glitter in this polish looks a little larger and more irregular than normal glitter. Semi-flaky glitter? Yeah, maybe that's what it is. Anyway, I don't normally like pinks, as we all know. This one, though, spoke to me. I only have two of these HDs (this one and DVD) but now I think I might be interested in having more. They are all much more interesting than the original HD line that's now apparently a part of the permanent collection. I don't have any of the originals. Wavelength applied pretty well. I was expecting it to be sheer like DVD ended up being, but it was decently pigmented. I used three coats anyway; somewhere along the line I turned into a habitual three-coater. Isn't it weird how that happens? I used to be so against doing three coats of anything and now I do three of everything.
Anyway, nothing else to report today. I have no idea what I'll do before I have to drag my ass to work to rock out and make mochas. Oh! Some semi-exciting news. My mom is making a pilgrimage to Ikea and she's looking for a Helmer for me. My shoebox nail polish storage system just isn't cutting it lately. Does anyone know how much they are? I am poor.
K, that's all. How are you guys feeling about Wavelength? Have you been inspired to pick it up?

I think Helmers are about $40 and come in 3 colors. It's on the ikea website - I looked it up once. I like the Wavelength color but after 4 coats it still wasn't near the bottle color and it stayed soft, so I returned it to the store. Hue, the yellow one is great, also Resolution the green one is a marvelous color. Oh, and my Dad drinks decaf late at night. Have fun tonight at work.
ReplyDeleteCute color! :)
ReplyDeleteoooooooooooooooooooooooooh. pretty. I think I need this one...
ReplyDeleteI had written a funny comment but my silly Mac decided it had to freeze everything. Like a censorship you see? Now I don't remember what I wanted to say. I'm sure my laptop has some kind of consciousness. Uh... do I like the polish? I don't know. I totally love it on you but it's the kind of color that would lack strength and depth on me. I wore too much vampies in my life, I'm afraid. Tomorrow I'm going to lose my coral virginity. With a polish called Capucine. I'm nervous. I don't know how it's going to be. How the hell can you stand me Steph? I write silly comments, absolutely everyday on your blog. I'm your official blog pollution. Worse than spam: French non-sense. Pfff....
ReplyDeleteOnly someone who did NOT have to work til midnight would have people working at said coffee shop til then.
ReplyDeleteI have this Wavelength,but it hasn't had it's first run...yet. Thanks for the review as it will give me an idea that I'll need many coats.
Wowww I really like this color!!! It's very pretty.
ReplyDeleteYou know, I'm really not sure about this whole HD collection. I can't decide if it rubs against my dislike of shimmer and sparkle, or if I just don't like duochromes.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I should just pick one up and try it! There's just something I'm really not sure about and I don't know WHAT.
This does look quite nice on you though. :)
