Evidence of a Recent Visit to Sephora

Sephora Nails


Butter London

I'm really lovin' my nail polishes by Butter London. However, I would be remiss not to mention that I don't like the names of either color. The polish in pale lavender is called Muggins, a gullible sort of person. Artful Dodger, the blue polish, is named after a cunning pickpocket, the leader of a gang of child criminals, Jack Dawkins, from Oliver Twist. Until just a few moments ago, while doing research for this very post, I didn't know what the names meant. All of a sudden, I feel like a muggin.

For the rest of the evening, I have two goals, the first of which is to paint my nails a wicked blue, in Artful Dodger, by Butter London.

My second goal, between coats, is to get my doodle on with guidance from this stellar how-to-doodle-with-point-3-pens book.

Two critical goals, two coats, two hours before bedtime. Wish me luck.



Color Them Sunshine

Inspired by her nails, I painted mine a happy, bright, buttercup yellow. This shade is called IM Beauty by Sephora (by Opi). It's just the right color for foggy summer days in San Francisco.

Lipstick Queen's Big Bang Theory Revisted

Lipstick Queen ~ Big Bang Theory

Lipstick Queen sent me a couple more shades from her Big Bang Theory line in Energy (shimmery red) and Space (shimmery grey pink). I know I sound like a Super Fan, but in truth, these glosses feel silky smooth and the colors are just beautiful.

Lipstick Queen's Big Bang Theory is available for $20 each at all Barneys New York stores and Bloomingdales. You can also purchase any Lipstick Queen product directly from her website at LipstickQueen.com.

Thank you, Lipstick Queen -- I adore these. :)
