I have a stash of GDE stuff -- sample baggies that came as freebies in orders, a sample jar or two from when I accidentally ordered something I already have, extra GWP full-size jars from when I placed two orders in the same month, and a few full-size jars that I won and then realized I already had (I don't do duplicates of pigments. *Ever*. So these are amazing colors, but these specific jars/baggies need to not live in my collection) -- that I've been setting aside specifically for Midsummer. I'm desperately hoping my person is an indie newbie -- or an indie fan who simply hasn't tried GDE -- who doesn't have color or brand preferences. They could get... a nice variety. To put it mildly.
I'm currently agonizing whether to buy Espionage Cosmetics Clinically Insane nail wraps. Damian Lillard made an *amazing* shot last night at literally the last second (down two points, nine-tenths of a second on the clock, and that dude made a THREE-POINT SHOT. That hasn't happened in NBA finals since 1997. It was *amazing*. I watched the shot on Vine abut twenty times before I finally went to bed last night because it was just a thing of beauty), and now that series is over. I need Rip City nails for round two, but I DO NOT do plain red nails, and I feel the need for special nails I can't already do with my existing collection. (Nail art is out of the question for me because I just do not have the ability to do that!) I've come up with a simple solution to whether I can get them: If Bridge City Comics has them (and the Adamantium wraps, because I'll need those for the 24th), I can get them today. Otherwise, the universe is telling me to not get them.
