My Picks From OPI Skyfall

Hey. I got so lost in swatching that I kinda didn't post here in almost two months.  Eeep!  I'm back...and I brought swatches!  I was so impressed by OPI's Skyfall collection that I bought SEVEN of them!  I *love* this collection!

Hope everyone's holiday season is off to a good start!  Happy Chanukah to those who celebrate it!

Sandy and MUA

First, hope everyone's safe! Sandy is world news by now. Not sure if the extent of blackouts is making news yet. NYC is under an intentional blackout, in the hope of preventing damage and making it easier to bring the grid back up when the storm's over. Large parts of the Mid-Atlantic and New England have also lost power. More outages will probably happen before it passes. My guess is that MUA's servers are down because of the outages or blackout.

I'm fine, doing leak patrol at work. I can't comment on blog posts from my phone, so if you'd like to contact me, prettygirlscienceblog@gmail is probably the best way right now, or my personal accounts if you know them. They all come to my phone. I'll also be tweeting, unless Twitter follows MUA...

Good luck to anyone else dealing with the storm or earthquakes!

Breast Cancer Awareness Mammicure

Reposting this from Pretty Girl Science:


I don't like pink.  I was thinking of skipping the whole Breast Cancer Awareness thing because I cringe at the thought of painting my nails pink (again)...and then I was struck by a terrible pun.  Mammicure!  It's like a manicure...with BOOBS!  I love boobs!!  Best part?  Almost no pink!  I grabbed every nude polish I had and went nuts with my dotting tool...

Still More Fall Reviews!

I just can't help myself!  There's so much gorgeous new polish out this Fall....and I'm still not *quite* done!

Last week I was all about two new collections, Sinful Colors Enchanted/Muse and Sally Hansen's new LE Diamond Strength collection.

Sinful Colors Enchanted/Muse collection

More Fall Reviews!

Eek!  I haven't posted a teaser in almost two weeks!  Lots of catching up to do, then, because I've been reviewing more awesome fall polish!

My Drugstore Picks

Sometimes I overdo things. xpinkbearx asked for DS must-haves...and I sorta ran with it.  This isn't definitive, but here are my recommendations for what you can probably easily go get right now and love...if we have the same taste.

New Fall Reviews!

I love Autumn!  It's the best season for...well...everything!  The end of the year is when all the best polish (for my tastes anyway) comes out...and this Fall isn't disappointing me at all!  I've only just started reviewing all the new stuffs I got...but I knew where to start...

How to Post

So...welcome, officially to the new Nail Boarders group blog!  pinkqueen and I will be your hostesses.

We're still working out details, but this is how posting should go:

1. If you're not a member of the blog and would like to join, send a MUA message to me or pinkqueen, with "NB Blog" in the title and a valid email address. We'll send you an invite and you're in! 
2. Once you're in/if you're already a member, log into blogger and click "Nail Boarders Unite!" and the little pencil icon at the top of the Overview page.  Make sure you're in Compose mode (unless you know HTML) and then post!
3. Posts should be brief "teasers" for your recent blogging/video activities (nail-related only, please) OR spam/tutorial posts you'd like to feature on the NB blog itself.
4. We'll be using cuts or "jump breaks" for all posts after this one.  If your post goes longer than about this paragraph or one large image with a few lines of text, please place a cut in it.  In the row of icons near the top of the Compose page, it's the one that looks like a torn piece of paper (it's under the "e" in Save for me).  This will keep any one post from dominating the front page of the blog.  Readers can click through to the rest of your post.  If you are posting a short teaser, this might not be needed.
5. Please label your posts.  On the Compose page, click Labels and write your MUA screen name/your first name (or whatever you want us to call you).  For example, this post is tagged "blitherypoop/Amanda".  This way your posts can be easily found by readers.

I don't wanna throw out a ton of crazy rules, but there are a few...and there might be more eventually...

• Images should be no bigger than "Large"
• Please don't change font color or size unnecessarily
• Please don't embed music that will play automatically
• Please don't hotlink images or other content
• Please only post your own content (occasional exceptions are ok, but this should be about YOU and MUA)
• Mean, abusive, etc comments will be deleted - keep it friendly
• Post as often as you want, but please remember that this is a group blog and respect the other members - you can mention multiple activities in one post

If you need help or have questions, please contact pinkqueen or me.  Looking forward to your posts! :)

...oh...and please spread the word (in PM) to the rest of the NB!  We want this to be MUA's worst kept secret. ;)
