Vampire? Hot Witch?

I saw Never Let Me Go recently and I think I needed an outlet to really mourn over how sad that movie really is. Voila? Joking. I'm just finding excuses to justify how the following look happened. I really don't know what inspired me to come up with this. Anyway, the lid is smoked out reds with a navy wing paired with blood red, brownish lips. In the words of a dear friend of mine, this is what a hot witch would look like.

peanut butter jelly time

Well, maybe just jelly time.

It has been much too long since I have posted on here. Apologies! I have a nail swatch for you guys today! It's Guy Meets Gal-Veston from OPI's Texas Spring 2011 Collection. It's my perfect summer color. At first I hated it with a passion because the formula is SO sheer. But my love for the color made me do some research (aka go to Scrangie) and to my pleasant surprise found that the formula is supposed to be sheer. Guy Meets Gal-Veston is one of the "jelly" or "sorbet" finishes in the collection and it takes three coats to take it to an opaque level. I'm used to polishes needing just two coats so I was pretty frustrated, but the tomato red meets neon watermelon in my opinion is worth the extra effort. The wear on this is also amazing, because the picture below was taken at least 4 days after application without a topcoat! Needless to say, I'm impressed.
