1) I try to do my nails every two weeks. Or I change them when they've chipped beyond repair. I work two jobs so they never last long ha.
2) I attempted a galaxy nail look once. It didn't look good. I actually never took a photo because I was so disappointed.
3) Nail art. I think its amazing.
4) What does a nosey pepper do? Get jalapeno business!!! When you say this out loud, make sure you move your body like a snake.
5) I want to try nail art. I know I mentioned I havent yet, but I DID attempt a small heart for valentines day with a paper clip and it came out alright I think haha.
6) Long pointed nails that are rounded in the back. Just ew.
I would love this polish. Havent had a holo ever. :]
I use nitrile exam gloves for absolutely everything. Comes from working in healthcare, so I'm used to touching gross things and not caring because I'm wearing gloves. I also highly recommend this nail brush. Even though it's wood, mine hasn't gotten gross, and it works really well.
Welcome Back! I just mentioned this in another contest, but I'm really excited because I just found out... The article I wrote is going to be the featured article for its journal in a couple months. Squee!
I haven't tried Indigo Bananas yet and I really like A star to sail by. Just look at that bling!
Love this I have the perfect person! Now to the pc to find what she needs :)
I think /u/dnd1980 Needs Immortal Game. Were partners in the grab your partner contest and from talking she said she has no neon, this is the closest thing on her wish list to a nice bright color I could find, I think she deserves because I pretty much twisted her arm to do this with me and putting up with me daily :) also shes been trying her hand a art and doing such an amazing job at something she didn't think she could do.
Yes! I tried to order this from Sally's about 6 months ago. It was on clearance for $4....and they never sent it! When I called to find out about it, they said they sold out and gave me a refund. I still wonder if I would have gotten a refund if I didn't call...
Anyway...check storenvy. There are three for sale, if this one sells before you catch it.
Aw, thanks! They're actually Magical Night of Lights by Two Gypsies! No extra work on my part; the polish is just that awesome :D
Third entry! Please know I'm not a complete narcissist. I work in theatre production and I'm around actors and singers all the time. I don't usually get a chance to perform so I can't pass up an internet stranger's invitation!
I got my needlecraft exchange person... she's more... traditional than my tastes are. (Imagine Granny stuff) Already have a few things picked out to get and hitting a craft store this weekend to round it out.
Bonus kitty.
/u/Ididntknowiwas need's This from her etsy list, because it seems none of the list has been fulfilled! Also she loves the dark duo/multi chromes so that is the one she NEEDS! i fear she may actually die without it. Only you can save her now. It's in your hands. Choose wisely ;P
I would love CBL Come Dance The Hora. It's still in stock right now... but this is the first time Harlow&Co has carried it so I don't know how long it will last. I love silver and blue and this is the perfect glittery combo.
In case it goes out of stock and random selection favors me... I would also love indigo bananas a star to sail by. I love the flecked foil finish of this one.
Glitter Me Bitch !
Groupon has these sets of 6 polishes for $6.99 so I got these two. The bottom is Avant Garden and the top is Loco-Motive
I have been quite fine. No real developments, but I do see a lot of stress coming my way in the near future so I am relaxing as much as possible now.
We need 'Shaddow puppets' by DarlingDivaPolish. Now you might be wondering, why? It's not on your wishlist, it's not on my wishlist. So why would we need this bottle of beauty? Let me explain:
You see, there was once a young princess who travelled the world looking for her prince. One day she happened upon a showing of 'beauty and the beast' in a small shadow puppet theatre. She loved the show, but even more than that she loved the young man sitting by her side (Chris Hemsworth, if you must know). Unfortunately, he wasn't interested in her. The pupeteer saw the princess being sad and gave her a magic potion. 'wear this on your nails and he will be yours!' he expclaimed and did a bunch of magic stuff to the little bottle.
The princess did as she was told and went to meet the young man again. As he saw he he said 'Your nails are so beautiful I shall marry you!' and they lived happily ever after.
We have to get our hands on this magical potion before Liam Hemsworth is married as well!!!
(also, it's very pretty and not too pricey, which is important since I fall in the 'international' category)
& happy early birthday!
Hey, welcome back! I haven't been doing much, just studying and working in a lab. School's starting soon, and I'm taking a lot of classes (5 is a lot for me personally, I know people who take 6-7 classes like it's nothing). I think we need Birefringence (H)! Multichrome AND holo? Just look at this amazing swatch. So gorgeous.
Here's my list! I'm still populating it, though. I'm brand new to this subreddit, am I still allowed to enter? Also, are nail art and manicure related products that AREN'T polish allowed? (e.g. polish strips, konad plates, etc?)
Right there with you, I have to be up at 5:30 to get my nephews fed and ready for school... it's currently 1:45.... my problem is I took a late nap... bad decision.....
Try this site, it may help lull you to sleep: http://www.rainymood.com/
Ho ho ho?
How bout no, no no.
I'm dreading even going to the st-st-store.
Ladies and their babies,
Children goin' crazy.
Santa in his chair with a glossy eyed stare.
Wish I could be any other place but there.
But shoppings gotta be done, even if it aint fun.
Just praise whoever made up spiking eggnog with rum.
I made a ghetto white girl recording of it, so if you feel like lolling hard - https://soundcloud.com/lainiis/ho-ho-no
Thanks for hosting!!
While they don't have Japanese yet, this website is amazing for free language learning! https://www.duolingo.com/
I'm learning German right now and use it to bring my Spanish up to snuff!
When I am away from my husband, I usually start a new show on Netflix that I know he wouldn't like and read a ton of books.
http://www.whatshouldireadnext.com/index.php I love this website. You just enter an author or book you really liked and it gives you suggestions based on that! :)
This is one that I just recently came across and I really just love it.
And this is something that I live by.
If you're also in the market for a new phone, I would personally suggest the Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom. It's a fully functional camera with a fully functional Galaxy phone attached to it. It is amazing! It's a 24mm lens, 16 megapixel camera, 10x zoom (stays pretty flippin clear at max) and a macro mode that I use for my own nails. It actually has 25 shooting modes, the ability to manually set everything if you want to as well like a real dslr. The device is slightly bulky, but I can easily fit it in my front pockts so long as the lens is pointing out and on top of the pocket. The phone is fast, the OS is great, and honestly the "bulky" camera part doesn't get in the way anymore now that I've gotten used to it (didn't take long).
As for price, I got it entirely free cause it was time to me to upgrade my phone and AT&T was selling it free with a 2 year contract. I would highly recommend if you like android and need a new phone and camera :)
holy shit that's cool.
on another note, that site seems CRAZY EXPENSIVE. Pops go for around $8 here, I've seen the big ones go for like $20 though, but at this independent comic store that has super jacked prices on things that aren't books because the price come printed on those.
Ok so Im sitting here on pintrest and found this $64 for some shitty pallet wood and small painting. I got a shit load of that stuff laying around. I could make a killing.
Ok before I forget I promised a couple people I would remind NO BUY! /u/angie0924 and /u/macaroni06 NO BUY NO BUY NO BUY! do you hear me!
So now that thats outta the way, Im up drinking my coffee gonna get busy gonna start painting today finally! have a great Saturday! <3
FORGOT I have talked Joel into getting me this for easter! I want that damn thing so bad!
The Indie polish that I have fallen in love with is Out Of Space Convertible by DIFFERENTdimension! It's great because it's cheap as well :) And if I win it'll be my first Indie also!
Thanks for the great giveaway!
I've been coveting Hello, Dalek for a while. I mean, how can you not want different colored circle glitter in that black base? So fun. You need one.
yeah, there's no work for me either honestly. I just read this article all about how bad the economy all over NY is so I know I'm pretty screwed. I need to move if only interviewers would call me back and give me a job.
I think that sizzling sunset by polish me silly is gorgeous! It literally is a sunset in a bottle and will be perfect for summer! I'm ready for warm weather as I'm sure you are so what better way to get ready than this beautiful thermal?! :)
Thanks for the contest!
We both need this black to red thermal.I noticed you do not have any indies or thermals in your collection, so this would be perfect. Who wouldn't love a black to red polish? Those colors are made for each other. More specifically made for US!
Aww dont mondays suck!? hope your day gets better <3
1) I change my manicures pretty frequently. i find that with my ADD i peel and pick at my polish without really knowing that im doing it. so unless its an intricate manicure and i make a conscious effort to keep it, i usually change every day or every other day.
2) this is my most intricate mani so far and my FA at stamping. i did this hand first and you can tell theres a huge difference between my first stamp and my last one as i got much better with practice.
3) Id like to be able to make straight lines with my brushes! i still need to use striping tape to get nice looking lines and sometimes that really limits what you are able to create
4) Today’s Parenting Tip: Treat a difficult child the way you would your boss at work. Praise his achievements, ignore his tantrums and resist the urge to sit him down and explain to him how his brain is not yet fully developed. ~Robert Brault
5) dotting everything! ive only used my tools a little bit, but i have a long list of saved dot manis i would love to try.
6) Stiletto or claw nails. they make me think of my cats every time i see them.
I would love LOVE Whitehall by Charme. i have been wanting this for a long time. its so delicate and versatile! i can put it over any polish to take it to the next level.
Hi, great contest! I've been eyeing Hypnotic by Polish me Silly! I love it because it's so different! It's not really glitter at all but tiny sterling silver flakies. So. Much. Sparkle. Also, it's a lot like Lacquistry's Amazeballs (it might actually be the same exact thing) which I can never ever seem to catch in stock. Glitter me bitch! <3 Edit: Swatch!
HAH! I actually hadn't noticed there wasn't a price limit. I do love Glitter and Be Gay, which is way sparklier, and my absolute biggest lemming is Monet's Garden by Emily De Molly, but it's sold out on llarowe and not shipping to the US via Etsy. Womp! Also, Lippmann's Bad Romance is amazing, but is nowhere to be found. Double womp!
We need Grape Intentions cause I'm kinda dying for a thermal and it looks like candy on your fingers and it's just gawjuss.
how about this baby? I ordered awhile back and was in circle glitter heaven! It looks so good over black
I think that this manicure would look really cute with neon and doesn't look too difficult!
I absolutely adore my China glaze neon colors! It took me forever to find what I believe is my favorite neon yellow which might have been shared here already but it's awesome and makes me feel like I have tennis balls on my fingers haha. I planned on adding a couple more manis if I can find them, I'll edit them in! Thanks for hosting this contest! Made me realize I don't have near enough neon colors either lmao :-)
I'm so so sorry. Its so hard losing weight. Its even harder when your loved ones don't support you. I've lost 27 lbs but I still have more to lose. I get tempted to binge eat every single day. I just started working in a grocery store and I am surrounded by food and sugar at all times. If you do binge its OK. Just get right back on it. One time I binge ate an entire package of Samoa cookies (my work had off name knock offs but they tasted the same). I then got right back to cutting out sugar and while I didn't lose that week I didn't gain. I'm at a plateau right now and I keep stumbling. But I know you and I can do it. If you ever need anyone to talk to you and give you a weight loss pep talk PM me. I try to remember this but its still no excuse for his behavior. Also bonus motivation pic
I'm pulling a lot of the colors from my Pinterest nail board.
For a yellow that doesn't absolutely suck to work with (they are notoriously streaky) and is super pretty I'd say Zoya Pippa without hesitation.
And I can totally put together green and purple lists if you'd like.
Most are streaky, which makes them not as fun to work with. I do have some good yellows, I'd just be happy to see them in colors like Illamasqua Optimist.
This is mine. I spent last week matching up all of my polishes to my photos on my Pinterest page. So now I have visuals aplenty!
Aww thanks! And if there are other colors you're looking for, all of the photos are linked from my nail polish collection board on Pinterest. I have a relatively large collection and a lot of different colors, as I love color. If you have any other colors you want ideas for, let me know I'll be happy to put more lists together for you!
Additional recommendation for the younger sister, do you know if her parents allow her any makeup? I would suggest getting her some nice lip gloss (not lip stick, of course!), just some light pink gloss like this. It's simple enough that a younger girl can wear it without seeming like she's playing dress up, but will appeal to her girly side.
Otherwise, if she's really into jewelry, you could get her a beading set, so she could make her own bracelets and necklaces! Something like this maybe?
I have not posted in a thread in a long time....and I really do apologize for the lateness of the past few Chat threads. Work has been absolutely insane. Last week I had one night where I didn't get home until 9:15pm (I go in at 7:30 every day), then at least two days last week where I didn't get out until at least 6. Then I worked until 6 on Monday and about 7:30 yesterday. FINALLY close is over so I get to relax a bit but still. I also almost had a breakdown at work today... yeah not good.
Outside of that, I have been travelling pretty much every weekend for the past however many weeks and its exhausting!
And the most important part! I ordered two sets of OPI polishes from Groupon and just got my Manglaze order. In.Love. I currently do have my store up for my destash on storenvy here is the link, but I am hoping to put quite a bit more up as soon as I have time to. Also, if you take the time to just look, let me know if you think prices look reasonable. I'm not looking to make a whole lot on these, I just want to get them out of the house.
I'm adding that I didn't mention fake nails, just stickers to help you make the French tip yourself, like this but false nails with a French tip design would probably be a lot easier! Haha.
I was born in the 80s. And I made this station one day as a joke, but I can not stop listening to it!!
Sappy 80s Love song radio if you love you some Richard Marx, you will dig this so hard!
I'm so scared of the math! I almost wanted to do languages stuff but I thought that maybe I'd have better luck learning math this time! fingers crossed lmao
There are a lot of free online classes / moocs for dev stuff! Took me a bit to find but https://www.mooc-list.com/course/web-development-udacity here are some! I took some classes on edx last year, they are also a great site... My dev friend said udacity is really good though!
Thanks for hosting!
Firstly something to help with learning languages. This site has EVERYTHING. It helps you learn in a way that it sticks. You plant memories via pictures to help you remember. You then water the memories daily. The site is memrise
Time passing in general. Heres a browser based game which can make hours seem like minutes! Anti-Idle Honestly I waste so much of my life on this. If you enjoy games I would also say try candyshop 1 and 2. Very strange games though are made to keep you busy! :)
Have you ever tried a Keri Smith book? She write interactive books which are great for passing time, getting you out the house etc. I would say give 'Wreck This Journal Everywhere' a go! Each page will tell you to do something. Example; hide this page in a neighbors garden, Cover this page in white things. Really fun :)
I thought about doing a spreadsheet. Then I decided fuckthatshit and made a pinboard. It's a good idea to list who's given me what, though, because I don't think I'll have very good memory in that regard. I don't even keep track of who I've polished... D:
I have about 126 on my Amazon one. I also have a wish list on Pinterest and while there is overlap, there are still some polishes on there that I don't have on my Amazon list.
I finally got Urban Outfitters Sea Dust which is a dupe for Deborah Lippmann's Mermaid's Dream. They don't sell the polish online, but they do in store. So I finally was able to go to a store this weekend. And I also got Sally Hansen Freeze! which is so bright and pretty.
What Zoya colors did you get?
I've tried some pretty awesome recipes from pinterest! I'm not sure how to link separately, so I'll just link you to my food board :) My favorite is the skinny enchilada recipe! I made them the other night! also the salted caramel brownies are TO DIE FOR
I know haha Lorelei is such a beautiful name but soooo hard to spell for some reason. just gotta remember that there are e's where you want there to be a's!
these Dollar Tree gemstones come with a topcoat that works surprisingly well! gemstones on Amazon are fairly inexpensive too. i was going to suggest the gems i got from Amazon and i saw this neat little set. i've never tried stamping so the stamping stuff in the set might be crap in comparison to other stuff, but it's an alright deal anyway!
I did tell you! I ordered Yves (link cuz I can never remember the formatting on mobile) went through Amazon because free prime shipping, and then I wouldn't order 5+ and blow my budget for the month. Though I was very tempted to do just that.

I have a small Etsy shop, but there isn't much listed. I make custom pieces constantly though. :) I will link the store and also pictures of other pieces I have made.
You don't need fancy tools to make your nails fancy either. You can use regular tape to make neat designs, just be sure your lower coat is completely dry (wait at least 4 hours) before you put tape over it. Also, be sure to remove the tape the about 5 seconds after you put the polish on, otherwise the lines won't be straight. Here are some designs.
You can also make your own dotting tools, instead of buying your own. I ended up buying a dotting tool eventually, but the straight pin method worked really well for me prior to that.
I don't really know much about polishes available in Britain, but in America some cheap polishes (varies by brand) work fine. I often find cheap dupes of Deborah Lippmans and Butter Londons, so I'm not too sure what the big deal about those polishes are.
here is a link to their etsy store. I have the peppermint (or some kind of mint) stuff. I've been using it all day thanks to our little mini convo last night :)
So this isn't exactly related to numbers but I figured since it's named Miss Piggy's Big Number, I assumed it was appropriate! After all this is your big number, congratulations on 9k! :D

Oooooo ooooo ooooo amazon local deals has a $1,543 master online sewing class for $29. I bought it and plan to learn and my friend wants me to help her make a quilt. Check it out!

So Santa got Derek a guitar for Christmas. Well yesterday I was able to record him playing while singing a song he made up during Halloween it is so cute.
One assignment left and I can enjoy a little bit of my winter break, so excited. Although I think I'm getting sick. And today is my aunts funeral.
My Ulta order shipped today, I can't wait for it to get here!!
Mega from I love polish has got to be the brightest holo I have ever seen. I can't even imagine how it would look in motion in the sun!
This holo is great since you can put it over anything and have a holo effect. You also get to chose how much of a holo effect you want.
I looked at some old packages I received and the weight for one polish is normally between 3-5oz it seems. I tried looking up pricing for usps for you, but maybe I'm just daft apparently, because it kept telling me it was $80 for shipping a 5oz package to like India......i probably did something wrong. I did find this discussion on etsy where they're talking about how much their products (that weigh around the same weight as one polish) cost to ship domestically and international. Anyways I thought it might help or give you a general idea of what to expect. Sorry if it's no help at all : )
Wait, one more
I recently found this while browsing through assorted blogs, I found a etsy shop called Super nails and fell in love with This polish! They have a fun selection of glitter packed polishes.
P.s If we already own it can the prize be a different one from their shop/our amazon wishlist?
Ugh, I work in IT and know the feeling!!! Have you tried wearing amber lenses, like Gunnar's? When I'm wearing my contacts, I throw my gunnars on and it helps SO much. Also, you can install a software called f.lux on your computer and/or phone/tablet to get the same amber effect without having to buy/wear Gunnars! I like that because I can't wear my contacts during allergy seasons and it's calibrated to your sunrise/sunset times, so it adjusts itself based on the light you're currently getting.
Hello and welcome to raop! Plese take your time to read over the FAQ and please feel free to message the mods or myself with any questions or queries your may have.
For every amazon wishlist you have you will need to enable third party shipping to you and add your address or no one will be able to ship to you!
You will have to use reddit in web browser to add your wishlist to your flair. If the link is to big use Tinyurl to shrink it down.
Do you have a favourite geen polish you own? I'ts so great to have you here!
There's a decent free snipping tool I used to use as well, called Snippy. It's rather limited in its functionality, but it gets the job done! It was a good option for working on my computer at the office, as we were still on XP, and didn't have the lovely built-in snipping tool of Windows 7. (:
You must be over on the left side of the planet ...... ^I ^dont ^know ^what ^that ^means ;) Thanks for the wishes and right back at ya!
you should want Technicolor Noise. Look at it. It's bright neon glitter. You nails would look fabulous and scream LOOK AT MY NAILS!
this polish makes me drool. Seriously etsy has so many awesome stores I have barely begin to look but I love what I see. It is so hard to not want it all.
This is the perfect spring color. Nice and bright but not too strong. Would also look great in the summer. The slight shimmer makes it so gorgeous. We need this bad! We won't make it through spring without it!
edit. I found one that we need even more than the first! It's like wearing a tropical sunset on your nails! everyone needs this.
Yup, and the nail is smooth as a baby's bottom after.
There are more out there, and you can apparently sub in white glue in a pinch, but I find the ease of application with the brush/bottled variety to be worth the extra money..
Okay my pick is going to go to The Spaniard from etsy seller LynB Designs. I've been eyeing that sellers polishes forever!
Make sure to look at all of the pictures! Part of the reason I like this one is that it really seems to change color with the lighting!
Alternately Space Gandalf because it is gorgeous but also because it is called Space Gandalf.
This one looks super awesome to me! And it's only $3! which kind of makes me want to break my no-buy (but I must not!).
bokkinbots!
I've been drooling over Starcrossed by Two Gypsies Lacquer since the first swatch picture was posted. It's beautiful!
bokkinbots
Oh god i love those base colors!
My favorite color right now is 'Shaddow puppets' by DarlingDivaPolish. I don't even know if that counts as a color, but I do love it. :D
Oops, sorry! I thought I checked those the other day. here is my number one.
Lucky Goldfish by Kunimitsu. It is no secret among my friends that I LOVE fish. I have a tank at my house. How better to celebrate that with a polish that looks like a bunch of tiny little goldfishies swimming on your nails. SO cute and fun!
You're not dumb!! I only know because I've done a lot of research.
MFP stands for myfitnesspal, and it's a website that helps count calories. It has a whole crap load of different foods on it with all of their accurate nutrition facts, so you can easily keep track of what you're eating.
Keto is a diet/lifestyle that almost completely cuts out carbs, to put your body into a state called Ketosis where your body burns fat for energy instead of carbs. It's been proven to help with cancer, depression, epilepsy, and a multitude of other issues, but you have to stay under 20g carbs/day, so no large french fries. /r/keto can answer more questions, if you want to know.
MFP will help to manage the amount of fats, proteins and carbs that I eat so that I can make sure to stay within the levels of ketosis. (percentages wise, you want 65%F,30%P, and 5%C)
I am polishing yoooou! I am having trouble getting imgur to work, though. Stay tuned... will edit with proofs!!!!
I can't get imgur to upload my image... I'm not sure why. I had this problem the other day and never got it to work though it's always worked for me in the past :(
At any rate, here is proof!!! If someone knows how to help me fix imgur I can use that if that's better.
Sorry if it's formatted poorly I'm on mobile at the moment. here is the recipe. I added 2 tablespoons extra of butter in the brownie batter because it was super thick. Boxed brownie mix normally calls for oil but this recipe used butter. So I followed it but had to add more.
Because of cookies!!! Who doesn't love cookies? Also because I feel like each and everyone from RAOP is my Valentine. This subreddit is the best part of reddit with the best people.
Got lots of those in my wish list. I love those!
I love chocolate, but I also love any type of candy except jellybean :) (Favorites are Milky Way Dark, Hershey Cookies and Cream and Tobleron)
I would definitely be comfortable giving out my address.
Hahahaa well thank you! I was kinda using this as a guide just with a white base because I used neons. I'm still happy with it just not what I was aiming for hahaa. But thank you!
That's crazy. What a coincidence! Detroit is where I'd want to be too at the time, with the auto industry blowing up.
Here is the recipe <3 they're delicious and so easy to make. I ate so much of the batter I have no idea how I'm not sick today. I also pulled them at about 8.5 minutes because I like them soft and my oven is a direct line to Satan's layer (its hot) lol
Hahaha, yeah, I can't do a gradient to save my life... but I'm going to keep trying. Right now I have CG's Purr-fect Plum with Color Club's Snowflakes over it with a matte top coat. I'm planning out my NYE mani, the boyfriend suggested this, so I think that's what I'll be doing.
I loooove gold tips, this is pretty awesome too. :3 Here is my Pinterest board for nail stuff, just some ideas if you're stumped.
Portland sprawls out across a really large area, I'm thinking downtown is a good bet for those coming from Beaverton, SE, NW, etc because it's kind of in the middle of all those places.
I REALLY like Tea Chai Te, on NW 23rd. :D
Ahem. Just saw this posted in a destash group on Facebook...
Welcome over here, and hooray for reformed nail biters!
I'm not sure how she'd feel about Winter is Coming but I do have this on my wish list, she might like that?
I don't wear makeup, so no need to enter me in the contest, but as far as finding awesome sci-fi/fantasy/zombie related nail polishes, I recommend looking at Accio Lacquer's Blog. She's reviewed a lot of those types of polishes.
And if you're big on zombies, the app Zombies, Run! just became free-to-play (first four missions free and then one more each week. Available on ios and android) and it's super fun! It's like an immersive audiobook that you listen to when you go out for runs or walks, etc. set in post-apocalyptic England with zombies. I've been doing it since it came out in 2012 and I can't begin to say how much fun it is!
I don't have an android, but I know that this app is available on both it and ios: Zombies, Run! It's a workout app that's kinda like an audiobook, but immersive. I use it all the time (both for running and while I'm using the stationary bike) and it's helped me get motivated to exercise. I won't talk your ear off about it, since it's not really going to help you with organizing, but I had to share!
Maybe get him a raspberry pi? http://www.raspberrypi.org/faqs
It's not that expensive.. however I was looking at the US site that sells them and it seems they are out of stock until mid-December so if you got it that would be for his xmas present. I haven't really looked at where else they might be sold besides whats linked on that site though.
OH GOD COVEN. It. Is. So. Good. Go watch. Just go.
Also, you just made me think of these stargazer lily & chrysanthemum manis.
