Heads Up! & Color Club Artsy Crafty

I'm sorry for not posting every week as I had said! School is now back in full swing and I feel as though I may fall off it! Bio midterm next Friday (1 of the 3 bio midterms given out) and an essay due a few days after. But I also have things like labs, chemistry lecture, and GE to worry about too. I have a different bio professor this semester and I'm freaking out about how his tests will be (although he is considered "the easiest one" and he, himself, told me his tests were just multiple choice and free responses... Ahhh! Paranoid parrot right here!) Anyways, please forgive me if I can't post weekly (even one post a week seems too hard). I'm also working on my light box; I just need some tracing paper and I'll be done!


Fortunately, I have something in store for you guys in the next several weeks! :D I hope you guys will enjoy it as much as I do!


Now here's my NOTW...

Color Club Artsy Crafty


Color Club Artsy Crafty is a dark, dusty green creme. I love it! In some lights, it has the tendency to either look black or a very dusty almost-black green. I've gotten many compliments from my friends. Before putting on top coat, Artsy Crafty was already extremely shiny and reflective. So much so, that I could see myself on my nails. The polish flowed smoothly on the nail and the brush was thin and easy to control. I needed 2 thick-ish coats; 3 thin coats would have been better, but I was too impatient (a bad trait of mine :( ). I've come to expect great quality from Color Club and buy collections whenever I find them at Ross. Plus, a whole collection is only $7.99 there!


This manicure is already a day old so there is a little tip wear. The chips are most likely from the base coat (1 coat Color Club Vitabase, 1 coat Color Club Clear) and the top coat (1 coat Color Club Clear). As evidenced, the polishes aren't actual base and top coats at all. I just don't want to bother with buying them right now (too stressed and poor).


Sorry for the poor picture quality! As I mentioned, I'm still making my light box so I have to resort to using my mac webcam. The color, though, is actually pretty accurate, but the polish is actually more green when viewed in sunlight. Look how shiny it is!


See you guys on the other side of the day!
