Hello Turquoise Kitteh

Found a gem last time I went down to my local H&M. Look at this cute bottle:

Turquoise Kitty. (Spelled turquise on the bottle though.) Not only is it a very pretty, bright shade of turquoise, it also has sparse silver micro glitter. Like really micro. Think Orly Goth glitter style, but tinier. So. Cute.





See the lovely micro glitter here?! I love it. I love it!

So, of course it turns out it's apparently such a bright color that it won't stick to my camera lens. Funny, doesn't look like it in the bottle... It's mostly blue, but bordering on turquoise enough to be called one. It also appears a bit different in different lightings, and under fluorescent light it just looks blue.

The swatch photos have been color corrected, except for the one where my boring school book shows (lotsa Swedish words of the day!). The color is darker and definitely not as washed out as it looks in the photos. The bottle photo shows the most accurate color, actually- and that photo hasn't had any color correction either.

I'm seriously starting to doubt my camera skills. Maybe I'm wrong about the saturation and over-brightness of this season's polishes, maybe I'm the real culprit here? Or do I have the most crappy camera in the universe? If so, my not so cheap DSLR is just as crappy, I guess... Either way so many polishes have been so hard to capture lately, that it's almost pointless trying. Maybe I just need some sleep.



Also, my nails get the big chop-chop on sunday night. Monday afternoon I'm back in the ass-wiping business. This time in a different location, in the private sector. I'll be working with old ladies and gents suffering from more or less severe dementia. I'm sure it will be interesting, but I'll also most likely be very tired, and have little to no energy left when I get home from work. So blogging may be happening less often for the three weeks I'll be doing this. However, I'll try to post little manicures or even off-topic posts every once in a while, and I hope you'll stick with me, or at least return when I'm back in full force!

The preparations have already begun, and I have replaced my septum ring with a U-shaped retainer, as well as removed my largest ball closure rings from my earlobes (four of them). I'm clinging on to my nails for as long as possible though...

Swedish word of the night:
värmebölja -noun heat wave
Because we're having a tiny one right now- by Scandinavian standards, that is...
