In my previous post I bleat piteously of my chagrin at missing the M.A.C. Rocky Horror polishes, namely "Bad Fairy", because it is so similar to one of Kellen's favorite polishes: Sally Hansen "Lava". However, Jen of The Polishaholic assures us that "Lava" is just as good, if not better, than "Bad Fairy", so I got over it and proceeded to paint one of my favorite glitter manicures ever. Pictures do it no justice whatsoever (in part because I was a bit in a hurry, getting back to Montana and all ;) ). The molten pink-orange duochrome shift, the elemental gold and silver glitters, the sizzle and sparks... oohlala, it was a sexy thing. You know, like Rocky.

Purrrrrr, smokin' hot, just like suntanned muscles and golden hotpants. Admittedly, it's not always easy being the girlfriend of a fantasy, the icon of masculine perfection; but he was unbelievable, and not just because he was gorgeous. I always assumed he was good at the whole acting thing, but I had no concept of just how good... finally seeing it left me breathless (no seriously, I actually hyperventilated). The singing, the dancing, that silly Rocky innocence, the flexing... honey, you really were magnificent. I am so, so proud <3
Well so anyways, you can pick up this "Rocky" perfection at Picture Polish or Llarowe, and "Lava" has been going on clearance everywhere Sally Hansen is sold for a while now... but naturally you can always track it down on Amazon or wherever :)
Oh, and because I know you're already panting for more... here's that "Rocky" and "Formidable!" fierceness, mattified, no less!

Marisa, that Rocky/Lava combo is TDF! Definitely more than the sum of its parts, awesome though they may be. I love it when a combination works as well as this one does, the feel of having a hand in the creation of a look is the ultimate goal of layering, I think. And it's not always as simple as grabbing two polishes.
ReplyDeleteYou drove eleven hours for Kellen's show?! Man, I am impressed! Here in the southeast I can drive for less than an hour and be in another state, I have absolutely no concept of what it's like to live in states as large as they are where you live. I used to be a road warrior, driving from NC to central FL for dinner, to New Orleans for Mardi Gras, to Maryland for a booty call -- and in those days I drove a truck without ac or a cd player. These days just getting out of the house period is a big deal, it's ridiculous.
Liz, it so was, though. It would've been a driving hazard if I was not so singularly focused on getting home :D Pictures can't convey how light-catching this was; one friend actually grabbed my hand and was like "WHAT IS THIS??!", that's how charismatic these two were together. They were pure molten flame <3
DeleteOh yeah, it's really more akin to traveling between small-ish countries! It's not a drive that I take lightly, but I felt like it was a priceless weekend so I went for it :) Conversely, I can't even imagine going between states for an evening! It's mind boggling o.O I haven't spent much time out east, but it's on my list! I hear you though, getting to just stay home and relax is such a treat anymore than I like to make the most of it :)
