<br />
This one is surprisingly my absolute favorite of them all, I love the color and the application, even though what I had really been lemming was the BarryM Racing Green...I think that color will look better on my toes this summer than on my hands this winter. =/<br />
This is 2 coats of Nail inc London in Monmouth Street..such a lovely pink that just glows even though these pics do not do it justice!<br />

I have my Christmas manicure for you today, even though I am much more of a Festivus-for-the-rest-of-us celebrator! On the upside of this manicure: I did it while at work and to make the dots on my thumb I used a mechanical pencil tip, so it is conveniently easy, albeit lazy.<br />

From left to right: BarryM Racing Green, Eyeko Posh Polish, Eyeko Petite Polish [these are the three I've really been lemming], BarryM Limited Edition something pink...the label is a little sketchy, lol, nails inc, London in Monmouth Street, and Burjois Brun enrobant. Which means Brown Coat, Brown Robe, Brown Wrap, Smelly Muskrat? I obviously don't speak Francais but I'm still very excited for this polish!<br />
<br />
Not to give these a short post but I have work to do right now, I will definitely try to swatch these tonight though, if I can get lighting to be good. On to dog pics...<br />

<br />
So what is with that title anyways...?<br />
<br />
<h3 class="origin">Meaning</h3><div class="meanings-body">A euphemistic way of expressing the benefit of sexuality. </div><h3 class="origin">Origin</h3><div class="meanings-body">This proverbial saying was first the title of a vaudeville song, made famous by the risqué Victorian singer Marie Lloyd. Lloyd was an immensely popular music hall performer in England towards the end of Queen Victoria's reign and into the early 20th century, much to the chagrin of the moralists of the day, who did everything they could to prevent her from performing. This included having her refused entry to the USA in 1913 for "moral turpitude". </div><div class="meanings-body">The songs she made popular were apparently fairly harmless but she managed to deliver even chaste material with a certain lewdness. The style she adopted was of a winking familiarity with the audience, all of who of course were happy to play along with every double entendre. </div><div class="meanings-body">The chorus of "<em>A Little of What You Fancy Does You Good</em>", goes:</div><blockquote> <div class="meanings-body"><a href="http://www.phrases.org.uk/images/marie-lloyd.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="A little of what you fancy does you good" border="0" class="right-image" height="280" src="http://www.phrases.org.uk/images/marie-lloyd.jpg" width="187" /></a>I always hold in having it if you fancy it<br />
If you fancy it that’s understood<br />
And suppose it makes you fat? I don’t worry over that<br />
‘Cos a little of what you fancy does you good.</div></blockquote><div class="meanings-body">No one present at performances imagined that Lloyd was singing about cream cakes, although the line has in fact been used to advertise them in recent years. The sexual innuendo that was ever-present in the music hall has now largely been forgotten. </div><div class="meanings-body">Marie Lloyd has been a continuing influence on British variety and comedy acts, being the template for artists like Max Miller and inspiration for the saucy euphemism of the <em>Carry On</em> film series. It is clear that Mae West ("<em>I'm the kinda girl who works for Paramount by day, and Fox all night</em>") also took inspiration from Lloyd's ("<em>I sits amongst the cabbages and peas</em>") manner of stage patter. </div><div class="meanings-body">-from <a href="http://www.phrases.org.uk/index.html">The Phrase Finder</a> </div><div class="meanings-body"> </div><div class="meanings-body"> I like me a good proverb and I've been told that I'm more of a folk-lurist than a soil scientist...at heart at least, the dirt under my fingernails tell a different story!</div>AggiePigeonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12115614153993976208noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611354541522324008.post-79825932789743324052010-10-18T08:00:00.000-07:002010-10-18T08:00:05.783-07:00Dazzle you with Diamonds!Hello all, I am so pleased to be alive today!

So, if you follow, you know that me and Maggie had our first 5k this Saturday, well, Maggie stayed home with her new friend and I missed the start of the race by 9 whole minutes cause I'm a social butterfly and was making friends...woops. I almost didn't run it after that but I did anyhow...and I ran it in 35 minutes! Hooray...my first race. Next time I'll actually train and time my miles and speed up and not miss the start, lol! The feeling is amazing coming to the finish line and have everyone, people you mostly don't know rooting for you and cheering for you to finish strong, it's a rush!<br />
<br />
So, here is some awesome polish that I wore for the race.<br />

How was everyone's weekend?AggiePigeonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12115614153993976208noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611354541522324008.post-15779174497004190072010-09-29T10:59:00.000-07:002010-09-29T10:59:51.785-07:00Seriously?So, once in a while, about every other day, I get my mind stuck on something and I simply must do it before I can move on! My newest thing is participating in my first 5k. You'd think with the fact that I've been running since junior high school (11 years total) I would have done a serious run before but alas, I have yet to do a serious race...<br />
So, I found one that I want to do.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmu9j5CwrOBLhNF2PLrIU4hNsKCjJYl8pw6aNDV5iG6hIpod-u9NvMKLZFwCctZu4uJAeAN3sm8AcaOZuw3G0tOsrM9QC1auk0hTDH-I0qB4Z-UEzfLqDILEG3C53jEil9GXsx-50omaM/s1600/sweatforapet.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmu9j5CwrOBLhNF2PLrIU4hNsKCjJYl8pw6aNDV5iG6hIpod-u9NvMKLZFwCctZu4uJAeAN3sm8AcaOZuw3G0tOsrM9QC1auk0hTDH-I0qB4Z-UEzfLqDILEG3C53jEil9GXsx-50omaM/s640/sweatforapet.png" width="411" /></a></div>This is everything I could ever ask for, almost. It includes running and a good cause to help benefit animals!<br />
<br />
And the best part is I called and asked and they said that I could bring my dog for the run!!! YAY! she runs with me every single night so this will be really fun, I think I'll pay the registration for me and then another $15 dollars for Maggie since she will be running with me.<br />
<br />

She loves to go running and for hikes!<br />

Don't worry nail polish readers, I will have more, I'm trying to make some time to do my Halloween colors! I've been wearing them almost every single day, I love them.AggiePigeonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12115614153993976208noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611354541522324008.post-20652552983667117802010-09-27T13:06:00.000-07:002010-09-27T13:06:14.346-07:00Girl, you be Chippin'!So, here is the first time I've worn my Dorothy Who, which I thought was going to be like a blue version of Ruby Slippers, not so it turns out!<br />

Look at those chips! Yikes, this is after a mere 13-15 hours of wear time and 7 of those hours were spent sleeping! I must say I have to blame it on my base coat of choice this time around, I think...Seche Clear. I was just trying to use up my bottle so I don't have it anymore and can franken with the bottle but I'm pretty sure that's why this chipped so fast!<br />
<br />

Upon closer inspection of my skin I think I need to go back to SPF 50+ 'cause I am not supposed to be this 'tan' and my face is starting to show all the sun damage! =PAggiePigeonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12115614153993976208noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611354541522324008.post-76638791734924841962010-09-22T08:51:00.000-07:002010-09-22T08:51:58.260-07:00Keep on movin'I was busy moving so I haven't posted in almost a week, I think!

Is there any way that you can sell me smaller brushes for all of my beloved OPI polish colors?<br />

<br />
This is how I feel and it bothers me greatly but I do so love my OPI polishes! Today I have Lucerne-tainly look Marvelous? Don't make fun of my incorrect spelling and naming. It is pretty, I love it, I was dreaming about it and that's how I knew it was time to go buy it!<br />

In other news, I used a ridge filler base coat the last time I polished my nails and I was floored by how nice my nails looked, I will definitely have to show some before and after shots, I see a difference!AggiePigeonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12115614153993976208noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611354541522324008.post-11490902618796361292010-09-09T09:45:00.000-07:002010-09-09T09:45:26.647-07:00Vintage-y Sort of DayTo make up for my post on running shoes...lol...I have China Glaze Riveter Rouge!

It also didn't last long before chipping, base coat issues maybe? I have not a clue.<br />

I have been talking almost non-stop about these shoes for weeks to my husband and since he needed a new pair of shoes and all the shoes were buy one get one half off I decided it was time for me to get these! Introducing the Reebok RunTones! squeeeeeeeeee!<br />

<br />
Question: Would you like me to do 'hauls'? I like looking at some folks but after a while I just get depressed 'cause it seems like some people just have limitless funds, and especially from YouTubers (the ones that are still in high school) and they have more high end makeup than I have cat hair on my black shirt today! =P<br />
<br />
This all being said, here's a pic of my little bitty nails with one of my all-time favorites, Sinful Colors Mint Candy Apple.<br />

<br />
Here is my next dillemma: CUTICLES Right now, I am using Orly Cuticle Therapy Creme and it is ok, I like the old lady smell that it has but I think I need something that is a little 'stronger' at moisturizing 'cause my hands and cuticles are dry, especially with winter around the corner here.<br />

<br />
I am at a loss, what should I do?<br />
Put on another bunch of falsies and ignore what is underneath?<br />
treat, and if so with what?<br />
just use some ridge filler and paint away?<br />

This last one is a picture of my helper, Peter. He always helps me paint my nails, it's annoying how cats like to be in between you and whatever you are doing, but I still love him, especially 'cause he can't see due to a birth defect in his eye and removal of the other because of an even worse defect. Peter is our first-born son and is definitely the brat-prince! =)<br />

I am going camping tonight so I will not be around for a couple of days but I will be sure to read and respond to comments when I return!AggiePigeonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12115614153993976208noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611354541522324008.post-8168287499193361442010-08-17T11:00:00.000-07:002010-08-17T11:00:13.388-07:00A Canadian Sort of Affair and a face to the name!So, A little while ago there was a girl in Canada who had never had the opportunity to try China Glaze, Orly...many good nail polishes and she wanted to do a swap. I answered her plea and got her some things that she had been wanting but she did not have any nail polishes that I couldn't get just as easily for myself but she lives close to a Lush store and some Konad plates! I jumped all over the opportunity to get a large amount of my favorite soap instead of nail polish so that is exactly what she got me! Thank you so much, <a href="http://nailjunkie100.blogspot.com/">Nail Junkie</a>!!!<br />

As soon as I had this in my possession I swiped it over a couple of nails and fell in love!<br />

While they don't use cute little bunnies very much anymore, they do happen to use mice still and when I took a toxicology course I learned that most human health/safety is tested on turkeys, who would have thunk?<br />

Since Essie was bought out by L'OREAL I can't bring myself to buy anymore of their polishes 'cause L'OREAL still does animal testing. They use the ears of mice to do allergy testing and then they euthanize them and dissect them, sad.<br />

Ever since I saw someone in my building walking around with a dead white rat in a baggie (they do animal testing in the building I work in) I have been opposed to animal testing very strongly!<br />
<br />
What are your thoughts on cosmetics brands that still use animal testing? Is it ok? Is it wrong?

This is from the Sweet collection by Orly (from thumb to pinky): Lemonade, Snowcone, Pixy Stix, Lemonade and Snowcone. I then Bundle Monster-ed the top using one of the new Sinful Colors nail art polishes in 'Bad Chick'--what a horrible name for a white nail art polish!!!<br />
<br />
I got the lemonade and pixy stix for another blogger in preparation or a swap (you know who you are) but as long as I had them in my possession I HAD to try them out, and then I ended up going back and getting them and some others from this collection for myself! lol!<br />
I had all the girls at a local gas station checking out these nails and asking me questions about them so I thought I'd post!<br />
<br />
In slightly different news, pedicures with fancy stickers don't mix! As the name of this blog suggests, I am a runner. Not to scare you off, I am not one of those skinny runners you see with the long blonde ponytails! Oh no, I have been running for years and am still classified as 'overweight' according to the BMI and I still run AT LEAST 3 miles a day! I have very buff manly-looking legs! =)<br />
But I digress, when you run about 7 miles nail stickers fall off, when you run 13 miles (half-marathon) pretty much all nail polish comes off but when you run a marathon (26.2 miles) your toenails turn black and fall off in couple of days of the big run, just some fun facts about 'Running with Polish'AggiePigeonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12115614153993976208noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611354541522324008.post-92121825940263104552010-07-27T09:55:00.000-07:002010-07-27T09:55:17.868-07:00Being Cultured, but not too muchOf course by now some of you may know this but I will post it on my blog, I am a soil microbiologist and by cultured I always mean bacteria/yeast/what-have-you. Just before I chopped my nails off I had spilled a culture of bacteria all over my fingertips and was a little scared (and stupid for not wearing gloves) so I went into clean overhaul! This is a picture of what my manicure was right before I went 'clean crazy'<br />
<br />

I used Sinful Colors mint apple for the base and Orly Prince Charming for the tips.<br />
<br />

<br />
Then I decided it was time to submit something to the<a href="http://polishhoarderdisorder.blogspot.com/2010/07/challenge-color-accent.html"> color accent design challenge</a> for <a href="http://polishhoarderdisorder.blogspot.com/">PHD</a>.<br />

I was supposed to be a greyscale plaid with little gold hearts for the color accent, randomly placed.<br />
<br />
