Or Maybe Tomorrow?

Hi all,

Things aren't improving at all and I'm feeling less and less like myself. I feel physically weak on top of it all and I can't handle everything around me at the moment. I feel like I'm about to collapse or something. Somewhere deep within I'm glad that I edited these pictures beforehand so I can put in some nailrelated things in this post besides me complaining about my life. I'm so sorry.

The pictures I have for you today are *again* from a recent NOTD. I have a ton of nailart and swatches somewhere in my folders but I can't put myself to edit them so they'll have to wait.

CND Jade Sparkle over OPI Damone Roberts 1968. I posted about Damone Roberts 1968 and Jade Sparkle, but I didn't put them together till recently. I really like the effect, it gives a little something extra.

Most of the time I see tons of golden glass flecks giving it almost a golden flash or cast, but those show up better in the next two pictures.



Hopefully you are doing better than I am at the moment. Thanks for stopping by :)

She Went All The Way Around The World..

Hi all!

All the way back in may, I placed a large order for OPI Damone Roberts 1968 on the website of Damone Roberts. A couple of days later, I got a shipment confirmation and the pretties were on their way. Although it's a long way from the US to The Netherlands, I was getting a little worried when the pretties didn't arrive in the beginning of june. I contacted Damone Roberts and was told that they would look into it to see where my package went.

A couple of days later, I got an email from the manager from Damone, who basically told me the package was delivered in Singapore! Oh my.. That's not even the same continent! He tried to track the person down that had gotten my package, but after a week or two I got bad news. He told me I would get a refund, that would be processed in the next couple of days since the person couldn't be traced (if I understand his email correctly). I was really disappointed, because a couple of days after my package was shipped, Damone announced that the OPI Damone Roberts 1968 polishes were sold out. Boo!!

Thankfully, after a while I got an email that the person was tracked down in Singapore, and that she agreed to ship the package back to Damone. Whoooooohoooo! It would take another two weeks at least to arrive here, but damn, they would come!! However, when I checked in after two weeks with the manager, he told me the package hadn't been shipped back yet.. I was getting nervous again, since it was mid july now. He would let me know if anything changed.

I believe it was only two days before my holiday that I got confirmation that the polishes were shipped back to the US. After my holiday to Spain, I got confirmation that they had received the package and that they would send them to me as soon as I replied to the email. So, now, after 4 months of waiting, I received the package two weeks ago. FINALLY!! Thanks to the manager from Damone Roberts, who didn't give up and made sure I would get my package; thank you! (also thanks from the ladies that got their pretties out of this package)

So anyway... I got Damone Roberts 1968 in and it looked pretty, but also a bit like an ordinary mint colored polish. I tried her on.

Damone Roberts 1968, three coats in daylight. Damone Roberts 1968 is a very pretty mint green creme that suits my skin tone pretty well! I was a bit scared, since mint greens tend to give me lobster claws.. But this one became my favorite mint green instantly.


Application was good. The polish went on smoothly with the wide OPI brush and it was a bit streaky at the first coat, but it all evened out nicely.

So.. Was it worth all the waiting and the time spent to track this baby down? For me personally, yes. If I knew beforehand that it would take so long to get these, I probably would have passed (who wouldn't?), but now that I got my bottle and see how it works with my skintone.. I really like it.

What's your thought on this color? If it worth the hype?
