I finished my last vial and need a refill, but I cannot log into either portal. I have tried requesting a password reset, but I am not receiving emails. I have checked my spam folder several times. I know that I have an account.
I was going to do a pretty swirly algal look, but - much like the real thing - I just couldn't be bothered to do it properly. So it's chipped, it's peeling, it's messy, and it makes me laugh.

Pele is always a bit of a brat, but this was a bit much.
This is my first successful topper situation and I am in love. It's yet different under my indoor lights.

I know they can be bothersome to outright infuriating, but please take them seriously. Or at least understand why you should. I am an old. I am an old with a lifelong clinical tornado phobia. We are so lucky to have warnings worth little more than annoyance. Until fairly recently there was no such thing as doppler indicated warnings. There was a watch, meaning conditions are favourable, and then a warning that meant one was literally on the ground. There was no radar indicated debris signature. There was no velocity radar with the Christmasy red and green. There was no warning until a human being had actually seen one. Officially, a trained weather spotter at that. That is horrifyingly little warning. Do you know a trained weather spotter? Do you have one in your neighbourhood to yell? Unless you're in the Marigny rectangle you probably don't, and my training expired a lot of years ago. These radar indicated rotations have been life saving on a very, very large scale.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
Teuta really, really likes these treats. I walked in to find her helping herself.
Teuta was dissatisfied by the breakfast line.
I naturally had to wear Holy Order of Perpetual Blue Moon today.
Yes, it's cool. Yes, it's extraordinarily well done. And yes, it startles me every time I walk past it.
Pele is often lost in her sudden deep thoughts.
I use RoC retinol correction moisturizer nightly, not the deep wrinkle variety, just the moisturizer. It is clearly labeled as unscented, but there is still a lovely light aroma that I find myself quite fond of. There is definitely a scent to this unscented substance!
...and I am over the moon, ba-dum-tish. I have never clicked "add to cart" and "check out" faster in my life. I nearly sprained my clicking thumb.
Blue Moon is beautiful. Of course she is. The colours are impossible to capture. Sans topcoat it almost has the look of a natural pearl. Maybe the Order will do that next. I suspect she'd be gorgeous matte. The glow is spectacular and very bright. Oh, and the packaging is really very pretty.

Sally Hansen Insti-dry red bottle because Cuticula *still* hasn't shipped the Limitless I ordered 3 and a half weeks ago and I'm a bit grumpy.
I am an absolute child when it comes to GITD polishes, GITD anything really. I have seen more than my share of phosphorescent things, but I have never seen anything glow bright enough to actually illuminate. 😮
Typically I am the one reading the script for other people, but I am frustrated by this second name. Zabette .... ? Lal....
