OK, that's great. Somehow I thought it was just cell phone to cell phone. So I get this new phone, transfer the number, cancel the landline, transfer all the important info from my old phone, cancel that one, and bob's your uncle!

...this is going to take a while.

I didn't mind, though, because I didn't know any better.

At my first job, for a while I had an office (it was the one with the thermostat--a co-worker got so angry that he came in and knocked it off the wall--yeah, we all loved his anger management methods) and then for a while there was just a really big room where all the programmers had desks. During that period, I spent a lot of time with the sysops, and I can't remember where I sat, because I didn't have a desk. And why the hell would they let me hang out with the sysops? Well, except for the part where I learnt how to sysop, and then they made me come in every snow emergency because the sysops were all the way out by the border.

I was reading a nail polish review and came across this:

he nail lacquer is one I have never seen before, a color that simulates the skin color of the wearer, a darker shade for deep brown skin tones, and a beige tone for lighter complexions. Appropriately named Muscle Tone and Triumph, the colors are a new take on the nude nail polish trend from spring

What does that mean? I mean, if it's not clear nail polish?

And I apologise for typos. My eyesight has been exceptionally bad this week. I can't always see typos, much less red lines.

Hey, nail people, does anyone know of a glass fleck top coat? Something like Nubar 2010, but with glass fleck instead of glitter?

Through extensive research I have concluded that glass fleck is my happy amount of glitter, and I would like everything I wear to sparkle that way. Okay, it's probably just because that's the first stuff I bought. But I really like it, and glitter is too chunky and anyway, not the same kind of sparkly. I've been using Sinful Glass Pink over stuff, which works mostly, but is, you know, pink.

Ha, nail x-post. I have no idea what that means, ita.

I have an office with a desk and chair and stuff, but soon will be relocating to our bedroom. We are making the office into a bedroom for the boys. I don't need much space, so it should be fine.

What does that mean? I mean, if it's not clear nail polish?

They're just two different flesh tones. I guess the person's point is that more people can wear "nude" polish that's closer to their skin tone.

What does that mean?

I assume that it means that, like foundations that claim to match "every skin tone" as well, they are lying liars who lie. And the swatches I've found for those polishes seem to support me.

Sadly, I have no glass fleck answers. Except for how that describes the nail I did last night and couldn't put the finish into words. But not clear, so not helpful to you, Liese, sorry.

At first I thought the response was a bit condescending, and then I remembered he's talking to people who asked for a Death Star. It might be best to speak slowly and clearly and make no sudden movements.

What does that mean?

Nonsense marketing speak?

It looks like there's a lot of glass fleck top coats over on Etsy, but I haven't tried any of them.

Speaking of nail polish, Illamasqua's "glitterati" is my new favorite: [link]

Timelies all!

I'm sorry for your losses, Gris.
