Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I decided to do a fun twist on a french manicure for St. Patrick's Day. I used China Glaze "Gaga For Green" and OPI "Glitzerland" on my tips with Essie Luxeffects "As Gold As It Gets" over the whole nail.



Below is a picture without the Essie Luxeffects "As Gold As It Gets" to show that it looks great with or without the gold flecks.


I hope everyone has a safe and fun St. Patrick's Day!!

Bring on the NEON!!!

First of all, I have to say that I grew up in the 80's and am super excited that neon is back! I got six neon colors from China Glaze and decided to do a dotted design over black polish.

This first picture is taken with "Flip Flop Fantasy":


I did several sizes of dots and different color patterns on each finger, I then did dots over dots which really helps show off the neon colors.


This picture is taken with "Purple Panic", which is either mislabled or something because it looks hot pink to me!


This is "Celtic Sun", I love this highlighter bright yellow!


Below is how I set up. I misplaced my dotting tool so I had to improvise by using several different things to make the dots. The bobby pins are great for bigger dots, the pointed end of an orange wood stick is good for medium dots, and the toothpicks works for small dots. I use the paper plate to put a dollop of polish onto so I can dip and transfer the polish onto my nail.


Here are all the colors I used, they are all from China Glaze, "In The Lime Light", "Flip Flop Fantasy", "Flying Dragon", "Celtic Sun", "Orange Knockout", and "Purple Panic".

China Glaze Polish Haul!


These are by China Glaze: "Gaga For Green", "Dance Baby" and "Wicked Style", all from the Electropop Collection, "Blonde Bombshell" a gold glitter, and "Stone Cold" from the Hunger Games collection.

I got the colorful polish from the Electropop collection to use for nail art and because they are stunning! The gold glitter was on sale for $1.99 so that was a must-have, and believe it or not I didn't have a gold glitter yet! Then comes the one I've really been anticipating, "Stone Cold" is a matte charcoal color, this is my first actual matte polish besides my matte top coats. I'm very excited to try all of these out and share them with you!!

Mermaids Dream


This polish is absolutely beautiful! It's called "Mermaid's Dream" by Deborah Lippmann. This polish is a pearly sea foam green with blue glitter.

I took several pictures of this polish because the more I walked around into different lights I saw how it gave it a different look. No matter what it is just beautiful and stunning to have on my fingers!

These picture was taken in my kithen in bright artificial light:

This was taken in indirect bright artificial kitchen lights:

This was taken in indirect sunlight while the sun was going down (sunset light):

Here is a picture of the bottle in indirect sunset light, this picture really shows off the beautiful glitters:
