Sometimes I wonder if Tabs has lost his ability to connect with felines and humans outside of the digital world.
Since getting his iPhone, he communicates more and more of his requests demands via text, like this one from yesterday:
Woman, you need to swatch the Urban Decay Rollergirl Nail Kit ASAP or suffer the consequences. Don’t make me take my claws out!
(*sigh*) I live under a high-tech tabby dictatorship…
Swatches from the left: Fame, Xanadu and Superfreak
Miss T, Woodstock and Love Train
I haven’t worn them long enough to gauge wear time yet, but so far I like the colors and formula. They apply smoothly with nary a streak, and two coats deliver full, opaque coverage.
Roller girls, roller boys and makeup-loving tabby cats, this $28 limited edition summer kit of six minis skates onto counters soon. See anything you like?
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
P.S.
Nice use of cosmic sans! XD
I agree with your previous post–one of the more annoying fonts.
And I’m loving these colors for summer!
I’m loving these shades for summer too. I can’t wait to wear Woodstock on my toes with some strappy sandals. 🙂
Happy Friday!
Happy April Fools Day with comic cans 😛
It’s April Fools Day?
nope dont like the colours they look like the last one summer of love. and the same theme! whats up with the hippie stuff again
I think hippie stuff is part of their schtick! They love that and references to “herbal” refreshment.
happy april fools day! this really is an annoying font!!!
Wait… so it’s not rocking your world?!
i have been looking for a few neutral polishes like Fame, Superfreak and Love Train, but the bright colors in this collection are actually what is making it to me!
Xanadu is such a fun sparkly color and boy when I get this set I will be tearing up the packaging just to get to it!
However one color, Miss T, Falls flat for me. 🙁 Personally I think I’m just not attracted to that color.
Nevertheless, Woodstock is EXACTLY my kinda polish! 🙂 I think it’s just the fact that it is neon and pink!
I will never use comic sans ever…EVER….EVERRRRRRRRRR again….:|
But it’s soooo awesome!
NO 😀
I like Miss T and Xanadu- I have Woodstock and looove it- I wish it was full size!!
Your new fonts are so fun, with a touch of elegance too! So easy to read as well, all those lovely curves. Awesome change – bubble and cursive fonts for all!
I really wanted to take MBB to the next level, design wise. I think it captures the spirit of the site perfectly.
haha at comic sans! very clever karen =)
Haha! 😀
Loving Xanadu!!!!
That color is tons of fun! It should be great on toes.
Love Xanadu and Woodstock. Giggling at your use of Comic Sans! Happy foolery!
LOVE those shades too! 🙂
TGIF! I’m liking the looks of these colors. The trouble is I don’t like nail minis. I feel like I’ll run out of a color and just be sad about it (though I probably won’t!)
Hey – Comic Sans is trending on Twitter! Is this your doing?!
LOL… maybe? It could also have something to do with google. Type Helvetica into the search bar and see what happens!
Ohhh …. !!
That’s funny! I just figured out what Comic Sans reminds me of – a chubby clown!
Loving Fame and Train 🙂
Oh poor Karen, I bet your eyes are bleeding from all this Comic Sans! And to be honest I’m a LITTLE mad at you! The ugliness that is comic sans never even registered on my radar of things to pay attention to in life (aka TTPATIN). But nooooow, I’m noticing it everywhere! And it’s horrible! Not even the pretty nail polishes can take away the pain.
You’ll have to send Tabs to kill me, but I like Comic Sans. *pause for shocked gasp* It was my essay font of choice in high school. You know, before teachers started demanding Times New Roman in font size 12. Creativity killing jerks.
I want to wear Woodstock on my toes.
Pretty (Xanadu in particular), but not unique enough for me to shell out 28 bucks for. I just paid to file my NYU app, and I still need to file my Columbia app. Yikes.
LOL Karen … you are funny!
the nailpolishes look pretty …. i should have made painting my nails part of my new years resolution. i feel like so many cute nailpolishes pass me by.
ps – the font is craycray! 😛
I love the kit!! $28 bucks too?? Thanks for the swatches!
WHAT?! Comic Sans! So many pegasuses (pegusi?) are losing their wings right now!
Haha:) this made me laugh out loud.
But what about the Pegasuses (pegasi?) Karen? We’re killing them off in HORDES!!!
Loving Fame, Xanadu. and Super Freak! I’ll definitely be picking this up!
First thought: OH MY GOD SHE MADE EVERYTHING COMIC SANS :'(
Second thought: Oh thank god, it’s April 1st.
This is a great prank <3333
Comic Sans HELL!! omigosh. Really, this is truly epic.
I’m totally crushing on Xanadu! The colors are lovely.
I swear this is not April Foolery but they’re really a bit too glittery for me (for polish). Of course, if I had to choose, I’d go with Love Train because I’m all about the sheer, pinkish nails. Honest!
Really? I would’ve taken you for a glittery polish kinda gal!
I know! It’s a bit weird. I think it’s because anything dark or glittery is too high maintenance. I’m lazy with my polish so I prefer something that camouflages the chips (when I even wear polish, which is rarely). I’m pretty much just a fan of sparkly skin, I guess. 🙂
Oh my dear God in hell I shall be back tomorrow, the sheer monstrosity of comic sans has burnt my retinas. I’m afraid to enter the rest of the internet 🙁
Haha! Comic Sans = THE BEST!
I hope you are having a good day! Mother Nature had the best prank for us in the Northeast – we woke up to slushy snow and rain 🙁
These are gorgeous! I have an ever-growing Sephora wishlist, but I might have to break down and order these today.
I’ll take this prank. Between my 12:30 professor on Wednesday having a court conflict, my 9:30 professor on Thursday having a conference, and today’s snow day, I’ve been in weekend mode since Wednesday at 12:15.
Sadly, we didn’t get enough snow in my area to cancel anything. I still had to go to work at the university, but there was the added bonus of slogging through puddles and trying to avoid the icy patches when walking there.
Hi Terri,
Bummer about the slushy snow and rain. I’m sending you virtual sunshine from California. 🙂
As for the kit, it’s not available on Sephora yet. It’s on UD’s website, though: Urban Decay Rollergirl Kit
Hi Karen,
Thanks for the sunshine and for the information/link! I hope your week has gotten better and that Tabs is treating you right.
Terri
Very clever use of Comic Sans, but I can’t take it anymore argh!
The two pink shades are very pretty but I’m not digging the others… I wish there were some more unique shades in this set.
Haha! But I had planned on keeping this font forever!
At first the set seemed kind of eh…but I really like the swatches. I think I’ll be needing this. And comic sans is cool not like those pretentious serifs that drink tea with their pinkies up.
I love those snotty serifs. They hold a special place in my heart!
I like all but the neutralls so 3 outta 6. Oh and the font is cute!
The brights are fun too! Maybe for toes?
LOLOL wow comic sans on your blog is just…so…Tabs would approve. xD
I’m in love with Xanadu and Superfreak!
LOL, yes. It’s very, “so.”
Really Like them…the colors are very nice. I think I might get some but have to decide which colors to choose since all of them look pretty cool.
Hi Kia,
They actually all come in one kit, so you don’t have to worry about choosing!
Thanks for the great swatches Karen!!
I love the first 3 colors you swatched, they are gorgeous and so is Tabs 😀
You’re welcome, Annigjen! I’ll send Tabs your regards. 🙂
Hahaha… Comic Sans MS :P… (it’s kinda scary, but I have to admit that I’m kinda used to it… it’s still the better option, because I have some acquaintances who write everything in Comic Sans MS. With capitals. Everything. Like long texts. Now that’s something awefully annoying).
As much as I don’t use nail polish, Fame and Xanadu seem lovely :).
LOL… are the notes written in 18-pt font and in obnoxious colors? That takes it to the next level.
LOLLLLL
As soon as I saw this April Fool’s prank by google, I thought of your post about how much you hated comic sans. I obviously had to send you this link: http://www.google.com/landing/csfe/
Amazing. Clearly, we’re going to party like it’s 1999.
LOL… have you typed “helvetica” into the search bar yet? Watch what happens!
I’m so glad to hear that Tigger’s doing better. Did the vet find out why the seizures are/were happening? Does he still have the munchies? Tabs sends his love along with several virtual cans of gravy.
And that’s great that Gizmo is coming out of her shell. Those two will be BFFs in no time. 🙂
I did! I always love google’s pranks. I also appreciated hulu’s “1996” and youtube’s top viral videos of 1911. If you didn’t see flugelhorn feline, I think you’ll like it!

Tigger went yet another day seizure-free :D. He’s still very hungry, so he’ll appreciate the gravy. I think he had something like half a cup of yogurt today, ha! Yes, Tigger is weird and considers yogurt one of his favorite foods. He also LOVES field greens with oil and balsamic vinegar drizzled over it. Gizmo has really enjoyed exploring all the new rooms she has access to, and spent most of the day racing back and forth across the house. She also has been sitting with Tigger every once in a while. I’m really glad they’re starting to get along! 🙂
Such fun summer colors! It’s getting warm where I live in Colorado and I’ve been craving some warm-weather color!
I apologize, but somehow, the font really IS making my eyes bleed…The nail polish however, does not! Happy April Fool’s! (and please change the font back)
I love Woodstock, Miss T, and Superfreak! (She’s superfreaky! Couldn’t resist. LOL) They look awesome! Can’t wait to buy the set. =)
I love all your tip, tricks, and reviews — thanks for publishing your blog! I especially liked the poor woman’s proactiv 🙂
Wish these were sold separately as I adore Miss T!
