You can also get them from Amazon, which I've heard has free shipping after a certain point.

Sunrise which is three coats!<BR/><BR/>I feel like these are pretty accurate to how they look on me in real life- they seem very muted to me! Perhaps it's just my skin tone skewing the color? The pictures are taken in direct sunlight, so they might be a touch washed out, but not significantly so.... So maybe it's just how they look against my skin :) I think they would look much more "neon" on a darker skintone than mine, I'm quite pasty :)Scrangiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00622386355359049104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5049173977991321788.post-83572182437962836072008-07-26T18:56:00.000-05:002008-07-26T18:56:00.000-05:00I bought LA Sunset, Melrose, and Rodeo Drive.How m...I bought LA Sunset, Melrose, and Rodeo Drive.<BR/><BR/>How many coats do you have on your nails?<BR/><BR/>Your swatches look so muted!

Brian Lumley does short stories in the style of Lovecraft, Beneath the Moors & other Dark Places being one book, for me though his Necroscope series (about 20 books altogether) is fantastic, it's about Vampires but from an alien planet, I couldn't begin to tell you the synopsis properly, there are really good reviews on Amazon though. And Graham Masterton is awesome, all his books are different, from Vampires to demons to ghosts, genies, sphinxes, cannibal cults, he's amazing! Prey is very similar to Lovecraft's dreams in the witch house, it's a brilliant read but my absolute fave is The Doorkeepers, it's about parallel worlds. I'm re-reading it now! Also Black Angel is a good one, but probably one of the most gory. Masterton is definatley not for the feint hearted, i've never read anyone more graphic! You can get them all pretty cheaply, but I'd definately recommend you to get Necroscope & Prey to start with. Hope you like them! :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5049173977991321788.post-47515875140198813552008-07-19T17:22:00.000-05:002008-07-19T17:22:00.000-05:00Carla G, Thank you!! :D :D :D I love to help!And,...Carla G, Thank you!! :D :D :D I love to help!<BR/><BR/>And, no, I haven't read them!
