THIS IS A SNOOZEFEST

Good God, I hate that piece of shit house I live in. Any little thing we try to do is such a major pita. All we want to do is put a new drain in the tub in the spare bathroom. Isn't that supposed to be "simple"?  According to youtube it is. Lying bastards.

Oh, I forgot. If you have crap-ass well water, it corrodes everything so badly it's like the metal of the drain has just grown itself with tentacles to the surrounding areas. It's like trying to fix things in a 100 year old house. But my "house" isn't even 20 years old.

I felt so bad for Kev; he has to crawl under the house all the way to the opposite side to try to detach everything while I sit in the bathtub trying to help. And believe me, I am pretty much useless with my spaghetti arms that have no strength.  We did finally manage to get the drain out and put the new one in.  And of course it leaks. Shocking. So now he'll go to Menard's for the 50th time since we starting doing stuff to get some new parts. 

I think I should just grab my laptop and my dogs and burn the whole thing down.

After playing around with all that and then finally getting dinner, it didn't leave a lot of time for nails. That's my excuse for this bore of a mani.

I actually thought I would just go with the Nabi 3D Rainbow Effects Red and leave it at that, but I just couldn't do it. I find it very difficult to just have plain nails.  I pretty much grabbed the first easy thing I found in the drawer and stamped.  I used Essie Mirror Effect Nothing Else Metals and LeaLac LLC-B plate for the stamp. Whoop-de-frickin-do.

I have had one minor success; I've only seen 3 or 4 ants since yesterday morning. Stalking with vinegar did the trick. 

CINNABON? CINNAMON? CINNAHON?? CINNA-WHAT??

Holy-moly. When I got home after work yesterday, it was 93 damn degrees in my house. Kev was about ready to pass out because he had been doing some more work in the bathroom, and the poor dogs were miserable even though they had been in the pool 5 or 6 times.  Even Kev took a couple of pool breaks. If it's in the mid 70's right in town where I work, that means it's mid 80's at my house, which is 7 miles away. Now, if it's mid 80's at my house, that means it's mid 90's in my house. Sounds pleasant, right?

Doing my nails didn't really appeal to me, but I did have some mani's I needed to do for Custom Nails. By the time I finished doing two of those, I only had time to slap something simple on to actually wear today.

Almost anytime I need something simple, that means go holo! Not that I need an excuse to wear a holographic polish. I adore them. They're just so fun to stare at all day at different angles in different light. Perfect for the guy or gal that gets easily distracted by "ooohhhh, something shiny!!"

I don't know if you've had the pleasure of owning a holographic polish; I know sometimes they can be pricey.  Solution, Nabi brand. I got 6 bottles on eBay for $21 shipped. That is crazy cheap, especially for a specialty-type polish. I had bought some of their magnetics last spring when I first discovered the wonderful world of nail fun and was very happy with them.

Once I saw some swatches of these 3D Rainbow Effects polishes, I knew I'd get at least a couple. I actually only ended up with 3 because I'm an idiot. I thought I was buying 3 so I only chose 3 colors. Later on I realized the $21 was for 6, and since I only listed 3 colors, I got 2 of each.  Not a big issue; my sister will get one of them, a friend wants another, and I will probs gift the 3rd.

Gosh, it is pretty!

And I figured I should at least get one shot outside in the sun. Even this doesn't really do it justice.

So there it is; the oh-so-gorg Nabi 3D Rainbow Effect Hologram polish in Cinnahon. Stupid name. It's not cinna-anything colored. It's pink. Just plain old ordinary pink that happens to be holo. If that was an attempt at a clever name, they failed.

They are successful with the polish, though, so I'll forgive them.
