fahye: ([inc] so wild across the stone)
Let's face it, I am nowhere near solvent or expert enough to be one of those people who blogs informatively about cosmetics that they buy, but I went wandering around Kmart in anticipation of being paid to be a subject in a neuro research study on Friday ($___$) and I bought the Blue Tiger nailpolish from Australis and it's GORGEOUS. Darkish cerulean, no streaks or glugs (fuck you very much, Revlon), dries matte -- which I love -- but can be given the shiny-wet look with a basic topcoat*. I have it on my thumbnail and I keep staring at it and wishing I didn't have to remove it (nailpolish is for weekends only, sigh).

I almost went for Peek-A-Boo but it's a more pinkish purple than the website suggests, and honestly I never wear pastels, so even though it's nice it's not at all me. Whereas this blue, OH YES, just what I wanted. Now I'm holding out to get a good green from OPI when I'm next in Canberra.


*Hmm, can anyone recommend a matte-finish protective topcoat that isn't too pricy?

2102 / 30000 words. 7% done!

Didn't manage to nudge the Inception fic over 20K words today; instead I divided the thousand almost exactly between it and the HP fic I intend to get done before the next movie is released.
What. Why is he. He's distracted. No: drunk. Ivre. He can taste copper in his mouth and the dojo's ceiling is beginning to shimmer obligingly, the boundaries are wavering. He wouldn’t convince a child with this dream.

He hears the motion before he feels it, hears the numb thump of his own back hitting the floor -- which is too hard, shifting metallic; it hurts like hell -- and then realises that Eames is kneeling on his legs, one hand wrapped far too loosely around Arthur's throat.

"Take it seriously," Arthur snarls, spitting blood.
