Nars Bohemia

Work was work. We were all knackered though. As I expect YOU were too. Burst pipe problems with the building so there'll be a lot of bother sorting it out. Sodden carpets and flooded floors. In addition to the leaky ceilings we had before Christmas.

2 or 3 coats. Just doesn't suit me. Nothing wrong with it at all but it just isn't me. The shot is sh!t also. It's actually a more pinky/bronze duochrome. Very like Misa Foxy & Folksy in fact. It's obviously a quality polish.
 

Genesis of this polish: the OH was wandering through Harvey Nicks and spotted Nars (has never heard of it, natch) and thought it must be good (it being Harvey Nicks and all that) and bought me this. Very sweet. Mind you, now my polish hoard has topped the (insert number of choice) hundred mark I am getting fearfully fussy.

Going to do a giveaway. It'll be UK/Europe only though as P&P elsewhere is prohibitive. Got to think up some quiz-type questions though. Or a grid you have to complete or something...

Accessorize Bronze

14 blessed photos I took of this and not a single one that came anywhere near colour accurate.
It shows bronze/gold/brown/sulphur and emphatically NOT what I see in the photos.
So why post 'em?

You can begin to see hints of bronzitude in the next pic.

Well, I'm not sure my eyesight is entirely trustworthy. I think I'm going the way of low-level cataracts and I know that affects colour vision. So maybe I'm wrong and the camera is right.
Of course there's a whole existentialist debate revolving around how we see the world and how the world actually is. If indeed it can ever be said to have its own discrete existence except insofar as we perceive it.

I am duty-bound (true Brit) to mention the weather and the royal wedding.

• Weather - shocking. I'm not walking the dogs in this. They'll have to wait until tomorrow. Long-haired dogs get so wet and then they have to stay in the kitchen for hours on end and are miserable.
• Royal weddings. I'd be a republican (not a capital R American kind of Republican btw) if I didn't think we'd end up with an odious president such as Blair or a joke president such as Christopher Biggins. So the royal wedding leaves me cold.
