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!!

Butter London Manicure Essentials Haul

I needed a new set of their incredible base/top duo which includes “Nail Foundation” and “Hardwear”. This duo is pricey ($25 @ Nordstrom) but they are worth the money and go a long way. I also got their acetone free polish remover “Powder Room” to try out.

Deborah Lippmann mini-haul!

I've been waiting to get these two sparkly gems since I have known about them! I love her polish and am so excited to try these out. On the left is "Mermaid's Dream" and on the right "Happy Birthday" which is perfect for me since my birthday is right around the corner. :)

Polish Haul!

Top row: All from Essie, "Playdate", "Power Clutch", and a top coat for artificial nails called "Ridge Filler". Bottom row: "Rainbow" by China Glaze and "The Color To Watch" by OPI, "Pros and Bronze", and "Love Is A Racket" from the OPI Serena Williams collection.

I'm really excited for "Playdate" from Essie, I've seen it online a few times and love it! I also wanted to get a Bronze color to go with my metallics so the Serena Williams duo was a perfect pick for that. As far as my other picks, both "Rainbow" and "The Color To Watch" are pearly holographic colors, which are always beautiful.

If you are interested in me testing out or reviewing certain colors or brands for you, please contact me!

Lately I have been on an Essie binge, I love their polish and they have been around since 1981 so they have a great formula and all their polish goes on nice and smooth. I have been so excited to get the Luxeffects collection and I can't wait to test them out and show you. I also picked up their base and top coats to try out as I just ran out of my Butter London Base and Top... So far so good!!
