Someone make this reality, plz.
 
I painted my nails this color today:

Of course, I never painted them in

Plus, remind me that I need some nail polish pens if I ever want to do nail art, I wanted to make dragon quest slimes, but they turned out really, really crappy so I just decided to go solid. I could show you a picture of my nails if you want. I admit it's harder to paint myself than others and my hand isn't very steady.

Recently I bought this color of nail polish, and I've been liking it.

Too bad "Prussian Blue" happens to be the color that concentration camp gas chamber walls turn when exposed to the poison Zyklon-B. It's also the name of a (former) Neo-Nazi folk band. :cryblood:
 
On the bright side, that isn't nearly as offensive as MAC's Juarez (Mexican border town where literally hundreds of women go missing and turn up butchered on a regular basis)-inspired makeup line:

To be fair, the actual name of the nail polish color is "Prussian." Also the shade Prussian Blue has existed long before Zyklon-B or Neo-Nazis. It originally described the color of uniforms in the Prussian army, I believe. Van Gogh's "Starry Night" also heavily features the Prussian Blue color.

As for that make-up line, that's like basing a make-up line around the North Korean government or Taliban-run Afghanistan. DO NOT WANT.
 
Today I bought these TOMS shoes. I chose the children's sized ones because they are cheaper than adult size, the soles look sturdier than the adult counterparts', and my feet happen to be petite enough to fit into children's size. These ones in particular happen to have my university's school colors (University of Kansas).

Does anyone here use fragrance mists? I've heard victoria's secret has really good ones, but I haven't been able to try them out since they don't ship them to Europe. Has anyone here tried them? And generally, do you guys have any favorites?
