Nails Are Taking a Bright Turn at Urban Decay With

Just a quick hi and some swatches of the Urban Decay summer 2012 nail kit to hopefully brighten your Tuesday.

It’s raining here today, and the forecast calls for more rain this week, so brightness is certainly something I’m hungry for.

I’m wearing two coats in each of the swatches below. Still not sure about pricing, but I’m assuming the kit will cost about as much as last year’s, probably around $28.

Woodstock

Showboat


Radium

Perversion

Fishnet

Covet

It doesn’t look like these are available online yet, but I’ve got my eyes peeled.

As for wear time, I haven’t thoroughly run these colors through their paces, but for what it’s worth, the last time I wore a UD nail polish, the gorgeous Xanadu (from last year’s Rollergirl kit), my manicure started chipping within a couple days.

To be safe, you may want to treat your paws with extra care.

I thoroughly lurved this story on old-time cat photos by English photographer Harry Pointer (1822-1889). I think one can safely conclude that homeboy was a CCD (crazy cat dude).

Tabs would like to posthumously commend Mr. Pointer for the prominent role that tabby cats seem to have played in his work.

In other news, happy Tuesday! I’m just about to sit down with a cup of tea and my journal to do a few minutes of list writing (“Things I’m grateful for…”).

I hope your morning has gotten off to a good start.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
