Paint splatters, huh?
Hmm…
The paint splatter packaging for Urban Decay’s new summer nail kit gave me an idea this afternoon. More details to follow, but here are some pics and white paper swatches for now.
Swatches from the left: Radium, Covet, Perversion, Fishnet, Woodstock and Showboat (two coats)
See anything you like? I’m feelin’ that orange shade, big time!
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
P.S. So that about does it for Tuesday, friend. Onward to the hump. 🙂
Oh! Guess what happened this morning. My day started with a random brush with celebrity when Susan Miller — yes, the Susan Miller of Astrology Zone — tweeted me and my good buddy Perry about the forecast for Geminis next month.
What a thrill! I’ve been stalking Susan Miller reading Astrology Zone for years. I still can’t believe it… A tweet!
In other news, I was hoping to go to yoga class tonight, but it looks like I missed my window.
Shoot! I really could have used it, too, because my back is a big twisty knot right now. Someone here in this room with me needs a massage…and I’m not referring to Tabs. LOL!
Speaking of cats, new obsession time. Have you read a Review of My Cat? No, seriously.
Well, not of my cat (at least not yet, haha!).
It’s a website called Review of My Cat, and as the name implies, people review their cats based on four important feline factors — appearance, sociability, usefulness and huggability (is that even a word?).
It’s such a blast! I always crack up reading the usefulness evals, where most of the kitties get fairly low scores.
What do ya think? Should I submit a review of Tabs?
I tell you what — if you submit a review of your cat/s, I’ll submit one of mine. 🙂
Will now have to get these polishes as well like I need more. I need to try that Review of my cat. I have two cats that need reviewing.
LOL! What kind of grades do they get in “huggability”?
I have seen “Review of My Cat”- my friends wrote a review of their cat that was on there a few months ago:

He’s a very special cat.
Hi Alison,
He’s one of a kind, that’s for sure. 😀
Hmm this set looks great! It’s got quirky colors, bright colors, and a very vampy one! I haven’t tried any UD nail polishes yet, but I should!
I should review my cats at some point, but at the moment I have so much work to do, and so many beauty products to review. I hate to give negative reviews too, but I think Tango will end up getting something like a C because he isn’t very huggable, useful, or social! With that tum? I’m not even sure he’ll ace the “appearance” part lol
They have some nice colors. You have to be sure to use a base and top coat, though, because some of the shades can chip easily.
Oh, totally do a Tabs review. He should ace the “helpful” based on his inspiration for your blog at the very least. Then there’s the kitty modeling, of course. 🙂
Is it just me, or do the UD colors make you think “Frankie Goes to Hollywood”?
Hi Kim,
I will have to take that into consideration. 🙂 I was originally going to rate him a “C” because in the five years he’s lived with us he’s never chipped in for rent/groceries/utilities, but you’re right…the whole kitty modeling thing does help out, LOL!
Frankie Goes to Hollywood! I remember being eight and dancing around to “Relax” in the living room, haha!
Oh, Karen! A “C”? Just think of how strong he’s made your fingers from opening all those cans of gravy. That will come in super-handy if you have to free climb a rock face during the zombie apocalypse. 😉
Definitely! And everyone I knew had a big, neon T-shirt with RELAX on the front. Honestly, every time I see neon colors, I think Frankie. It’s like Pavlov’s dog. HAHA!
Haha, so true. He’s also allowed me to build up quite the collection of used Giant Pet Hair Rollers. Someday they’ll be collector’s items, I just know it!
How do you feel about neon coming back in style? I’m kinda torn. Part of me wants to rock it, but the other part still has bad memories of those obnoxious, oversized brighter-than-bright shirts.
Oh, I don’t know about the neon. I’m so leery of anything 80s returning. I think neon would be great for the young folks since it’s so fun. I personally can’t imagine wearing any myself, though. Maybe as an accent on some athletic wear, but that’s about it.
I absolutely love that first picture with the swatches and the title! It’s so colorful and a great way to begin this post!
I’m loving that Fishnet color! 🙂
Thanks, Amy! That pic puts me in a summery mood, for sure.
Have a nice day! 🙂
Oh my goodness, as soon as I finish my exam tomorrow I am totally submitting a review of Bradford :D.
Good luck on your exam tomorrow, Christine. What’s it on?
i am imagining that orange np on my toes…. so gorgeous!
That shade would be pretty with some nude sandals!
great minds think alike!!!
I’m thinking epic water marbling =D
Ooh, good idea!
I should review my three cats. Of course, they would hate me for all time, but maybe it would be worth it? 🙂
I like Radium. I can never get enough of blue polish.
You gotta do it! Although don’t let them see each other’s grades. You don’t want any jealous between the siblings.
I love the pink and orange polishes.
Hmm, my nickname for my cat is Zohan so that should clue you in to his sociability status. He’s a great looking cat (being an oriental) but he constantly meows is not into cuddling. Very much a ‘for decorative purposes’cat.. Show’s his love by following you around the house (but not into sitting on your lap or headbutting, and will jump out of your arms within seconds). Oh well…
LOL re: “for decorative purposes cat”! 🙂 How long have you been Zohan’s assistant? Tabs and I have been together for five years.
wow, yummy colors 😀 i love black nails
cute cat 😀
I like them too, as long as they are unchipped!
Oh how cute! I hadn’t seen that site before. However, my cats were up at MyCatHatesYou.com, which was pretty hilarious.
One of my kitties:

As far as the polishes go, love all the shades, but especially Perversion, Fishnet and Woodstock.
OMG, hilarious! I love the expression on her face. She really does look like she hates you, LOL!
Beautiful nail polish colors. I don’t think I’ve tried UD’s nail polishes as much as I love that line of makeup. I like Fishnet, Woodstock, and Showboat the best! Very summery!
Hi Katherine G,
They have some great colors, but a few of them have been hit or miss for me because they seem to chip fairly quickly. I hope these hold up!
Loving these nail colors, especially Covet and Fishnet!
Both those shades are so fun! Have you worn UD’s polishes before?
I don’t know how Urban Decay does it, but EVERY nail polish set they put out make me swoon! Bad for me, because UD is hard to get in my country, although I managed to get the “Summer of love”-set (which is amazing!). I really love your swatches as well, they look so artistic, I would totally frame that and hang it on my walls 😀
What a gorgeous collection! Its so difficult to pick out a favorite!
I love the colors.. they’re so bright!
Wow! I’m gonna need this collection, that’s for sure! I love all the colors. They’ll be fabulous in the summer time with a nice tan, especially that orangey one!
I’m gonna have to do a review for my cat Alvin. He reminds me more of a dog than a cat.
