Uhh ... technical difficulties.

Today I've been trying to record the vlog to announce the winner of the hello kitty giveaway. It's not going well. I don't know what's up with my software or whatnot, but if I can't figure it out tonight I'll just announce the winner tomorrow in a normal blog.

In the meantime, please enjoy this cute kitten video:

Giveaway soon + my free Zoya!

I'm coming up on my 150th post and I'll be doing a giveaway to celebrate! I have one more Hello Kitty for MAC nail polish I'm willing to give away and some other fun HK stuff.

For now though I have some pictures to share with you. Do you know of Zoya nail polish? It's formaldehyde, toluene, dibutyl phthalate & camphor free. Recently they had a very cool promotion where they gave away three nail polishes free to celebrate reaching their goal of 5000 twitter followers. These are the colors I picked:


Loredana, Casey and Laurie.

I love gray nail polish so I decided to do Loredana with french tips using my Hello Kitty for MAC On the Prowl (the lighter gray).


Just Loredana ...


Loredana with On the Prowl tips


Close up.

Loredana is a really amazing matte velvet finish. The pictures don't really capture how matte it really is. And the lighter gray polish has a normal amount of shine to it. I really like the contrast in texture.

I initially heard of Zoya through All Lacquered Up's blog (which btw is an amazing and addictive blog). Zoya only sells their products online and to professional salons so that's prob why, but far I'm loving their polish and had a good experience with them.

Now we'll just see how long I can keep this manicure looking good ... I am not nice to my nails.

cute video + noriko's dinner table

a cute little short film/love story i happened upon today.



And going in a totally different direction ...

Last night I watched Noriko's Dinner Table. It's sort of a sequel sort of a prequel to Suicide Club/Circle. I liked Suicide Club, but it was maybe a little too fucked up for my taste. Despite the gore being over the top almost funny and really unrealistic, it grossed me out and was hard to watch a lot of the parts.

However, Noriko's Dinner Table was a lot less gory and a lot more touching. I liked it a lot. I think it more obviously illustrates the theme of being connected to yourself and to other people (specifically in an age where technological communication ironically disconnects people), but I think they're both about that. And both about alienated youth bla bla bla. Suicide Club left me feeling mostly confused. The trailer isn't very good, but it gives you a little preview of it. Has anyone else seen either Suicide Club or Noriko's Dinner Table.



And the trailer for Suicide Club if you haven't seen the movie yet:

ohhhhmyyygoddd.

I can't believe I hadn't seen this yet. AMAZING. I am way too excited for this movie to come out.
