Weekend Funnies

Ok - just as few things to touch on before I get to the videos -

One - I'm moving in two weeks and some of my stuff is being sold on my friend's ebay store. So if you're in Melbourne and are in need of a fridge, washer, tumble dryer, sofa, TV (analog) or TV cabinet-y thing, head over here. All proceeds to go me getting the hell out of this country.

Two - Hyperbole and a Half is one of the funniest blogs I've ever read. I highly suggest you get yourself over there - you'll laugh till you wee yourself a little bit.

Now, on with the show!

This is hands-down one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time. It starts off kind of puerile, then gets Awesome. Then gets Awesomier. Then gets WTFBBQ...



I love you, Andy Samberg. You make me happy. I spent my shift at work today fantasising about punching the eating people walking by. It was great :)

Uniting two superpowers of Nerd-dom -



Kinda scary how well those two shows go together...

And finally - this is something for the Aussies. Who remembers Bargearse?

For those uninitiated, it was part of legendary skit show "The Late Show" back 1992/93, and was basically an overdubbed, chopped up piss-take of the 70's cop show "Bluey". When you see the footage, you'll see why making fun was like shooting fish in a barrel...



As you can see - the show's all class (language warning)...



His talent at solving crime was only rivalled by his music career -



And who can forget the "Many Moods of Bargearse" album? And that fart rally...



Ah, the 70's. They weren't kind to anyone in any country, were they? :D

Nubar Violet Sparkle

You know, the words OMGWTFBBQ! get bandied around a lot these days, but never before has the term been more apt.

I am just in awe of this baby -


How does such gorgeousness exist in the world without causing a short-fuse?

Typical of most of the Nubar Sparkles, I needed one coat of purple polish underneath just to make it opaque faster (previous Sparkles polishes have required 4 coats, and then the tips have receded when I've put the fast-drying top-coat over the top), and a layer of Poshe to seal it all nicely.


Agh! It does my head in! So gorg!
I think I need to go sit down for awhile...

Zoyas, some new some old.

I don't know about you, but the Zoya polish exchange is just about all I am thinking about right now.  I cannot wait to haul my giant box'o'polish to the post office!!!  My new favorite thing to do is log into Zoyas site and pick out the colors I want over and over.  This will be my first time doing the exchange so I am super excited!!  If you aren't familiar with the polish exchange you can read about it here.

So, for those of you who are digging around the net for Zoya swatches here are 5 new swatches, and a bunch of reposts. Happy exchanging!!!

 Now for the old ones...

Love, MM

CC Power Play & N'fu #51

Ladies!
Do you have Color Club's Power Play?
Do you have N'fu Oh #51?
Then quick - go put #51 over Power Play - it will blow you away!
I'll wait here...


These crappy photos are the best I could manage with my crappy camera and don't do justice to the awesomeness this is.
Just try it.




NOW!

Look what I got!

 

 *dies*

 

 I'm going to rock the hell out of these by pairing them with these horribly delightful, giant 80's hoops. 

 THEN, I'm going to slap this on my nails, creating an explosion of 80's fierceness not witnessed since before I was born.

 Here is a group shot of  'Team Gorgeous'.  I cannot wait to drench myself in this glorious grouping of blue and clickity clack away into the sunset.

Love, MM

New York Summer Pt 7

 Part 6

Thank freakin god this is FINALLY the last installment of these polishes.  You guys have no idea how sick I am of swatching them.  Do you like how I said that I'm all done despite the fact that I still have all the glitters to swatch? I am mentally unable to face the fact that I still have 10+ NYS glitters to slather all over my hands. It's depressing.  I want to swatch stuff that I love, but I set out to swatch the whole stupid collection of NYS polish so I am going to do it. I just want to pretend that I'm finished at the moment, dammit.

Sorry about the hiatus in posting dudes.  Things have been non awesome on my side of the looney bin, but I won't bore you with details.  I know everyone has there own crap to deal with and reading all about my crazies isn't at the top of anyone's "to do" list.  Instead I shall slap on my happy face and get this freak show on the road.

So, who's ready to be disappointed?  This is the most boring and stupid set of NYS polish yet people. It seems I saved all the identical pink shimmers for last. Hurray!  These are all 3 coats.  

Love, MM

BYS Double Espresso

Ugh. Isn't it nice when you finally get a day or two off and then you spend it being sick? Couldn't it at least wait until a work day so you can chuck a sickie? Anyhoo - after a morning spent hugging the porcelain god, I'm up and reasonably alert :)

Winter is closing in on the southern hemisphere and accordingly, the shops are filling with dark autumn coloured clothes and for some reason we're supposed to use the same colours on our fingers. I don't subscribe to that way of thinking - I tend to go the opposite way and use brights to combat the grey weather.

Nevertheless, when Director David over at Fashion Addict sent me this to try, it brought to mind the beautiful autumn leaves that are on display in my neighbourhood (I'm at the foot of the Dandenong Ranges, and it's spectacular here)...

Double espresso is a kind of coffee colour, but it's got a rich coppery tinge to it that you don't really find in espresso...

This is two coats and a layer of Poshe. Lovely, creamy consistency, and it wears well. Another slam-dunk for BYS's new formula...

Fingers looking extra wrinkly, there. Time to break out the winter moisturisers...

I'm not even a big fan of browns, but this is just really classy, work safe, and a bit glam :)
I think FA has run out of this at the moment, as I can't find it on the website - but I'm sure if you check back soon they will have re-stocked. It usually retails for $3.95 Australian bazungas...
