Essie Velvet Voyeur

Hey guys.  Super tired today, but that's kind of my own fault.  When I finally got a minute to sit down and do my nails it was 2 in the morning.  I was kind of impatient.  Because it was 2 in the morning.  I used Essie Velvet Voyeur from the new fall collection.  Because I was impatient I got cuticle drag.  I was also too lazy to do three coats, so I just left bald patches.  I'm a bad, bad blogger.

See what I mean about the bald patches?  Anyway, Velvet Voyeur is a nice, dark purple vampy creme.  It looks pretty similar to William Tell Me About OPI in the bottle, but I don't have that one to compare the two.  I love Essie's description of this shade, though:  "intense chocolate amethyst."  That made me want to buy it.  Plus I love me a vampy.  Application was fine, as it always is with Essie, I just didn't wait long enough between coats.  If you're looking for a good dark purple that actually still looks purple (ie, NOT Lincoln Park After Dark) then check out Velvet Voyeur.  Creepy name, good polish.

So my orientation was okay yesterday.  I actually have another one today just for art history grad students.  I think there are only eight of us in the program this year, so I'll get to meet everyone.  I'm trying to figure out what to wear; too hot for tweed  :(  Thanks for all of your encouraging words yesterday, guys.  I really appreciate it.  For some reason this transition is probably the hardest one I've ever gone through and I feel pretty alone.  That sounds so emo, doesn't it?

Until tomorrow.
