Hi everyone,
praisesbe asked me about a matte non shimmery grass green polish. Well, I don't own one, but I did try to create one that isn't a dead-matte but a lively matte.
This is what I created with Rimmel London's Lycra Pro Professional Finish nailpolish in 430 Jaded Glamour and the NailTek Ridge filling basecoat (which makes it matte).The Jaded Glamour is a green with a gold shimmer, but the matte "topcoat" makes this shimmer disappear, but keeps it lively and not a flat green.

Pete Doherty was supposed to play a concert at London’s Royal Albert Hall before got unavoidably detained, when he was thrown in prison. I hate when that happens! Doherty has now rescheduled the show and as a bonus, persuaded Amy Winehouse to join him on stage for a duet.

LONDON (AFP) - To their high society owners, a pair of haute couture shoes can be a precious thing.
But to guard a 62,000 pound (120,000 dollar) pair of ruby- sapphire- and diamond-encrusted Rene Caovilla sandals at their London launch, retailer Harrods went to extreme lengths: bringing in a live Egyptian cobra to patrol the shoe counter.
Whether hiring a poisonous snake is, strictly speaking, the most effective means of guarding precious footwear might be a moot point with security experts.

You can always rely on Burlington Coat Factory for great coats-even designer coats-for a lot less than department store prices. And the wide selection is always a plus. Last weekend I saw this down filled “Chevron Puffer Coat with Faux Fur Trim” by London Fog and was surprised at the price-originally $150, it was now only $70!
