Nails Inc Carnaby Street (and what happens when I get lazy)

Nails Inc Carnaby Street
I picked this taxi-cab yellow polish up at Henri Bendel when I was visiting home over the New Year. Yes, it has been in my untrieds for THAT LONG. It's one of the better yellow cremes of this shade that I've tried: it was opaque in three coats though required a thick coat of Diamont to even it out.

I'm also including photographic evidence of my laziness. See, sometimes when I'm swatching, I get super lazy and I just don't feel like pulling open the screen door every single time I want to get a photo... and because the resolution on my camera LCD screen isn't the most fantastic, nearly all my photos came out looking like this:

How I managed to get one where the screen pattern isn't visible is beyond me since I took them all with the screen door closed. I kind of like the effect. If only there was a nail polish that was like photo paper! It would turn dark when exposed to light so you could make shadow patterns in your nails... but then you would be able to set it somehow so the entire thing doesn't become one dark shadow. :D

I'm hoping to finish swatching the remaining two Orly Cosmix this afternoon and get that up by this evening...

Aug 12th (30m cardio), Aug 13th (15m cardio at 11pm at night because I'm just forcing myself to work out no matter how tired I am -- or more precisely, 13m to run a mile, rawr, I used to be able to do it in a bit less than 10m). I hope I can get a chance to work out while at the conference. The hotel should have a fitness room. But boo to the pool being closed during the exact days I'm there!
