The days are long, the weather is warm, and the sun is shining... yeeeaaah, sounds like we're heading into Summer alright. What could be more apropos than a neon polish? Nothing. Yep. Nothing. That's right, I said it! P.S. I took down even moar nail length. They were growing like weeds! (WTF?!)
A retina-searing highlighter yellow with electric blue microshimmer. What more could you ask for from a neon polish? Not much, I'd say. One downside, however, was that it was scented -- smelled something like a mixture of cough medicine and radioactive lemon juice. C'mon, humor me guys. Puke city! Funny how we're like la-di-da with acetone and polish fumes but scented polish? *clutches pearls* Oh heavens no! The horror! As with all neons, this was impossibly difficult to capture on camera. Whatevs! You'll have to take my word for it. It's freaking awesome and just screams Summer =D. This was two coats of Color Club Get Your Lem-On on top of one thick coat of Sally Hansen White-On (hmm, that's a lot of on's if I do say so myself). Remember to layer your neons over white to get that perfect pop of color -- my PSA for the day. I'm about to head on a road trip tomorrow. Starting from Denver and making big stops in Las Vegas and Los Angeles with a bunch of pit stops in between I'm sure! Let's see how much polish I end up with when I'm finally back home in California =D. I am le excited. Happy Tuesday to you guys and happy travels to meeeeee! Yay!!!!

A Summer Gradient
I know this isn't the weekend but I am going to make this a lazy post because 1. I can (bahahaha) and 2. I spent quite a bit of time writing another post. The contents of which are detailed here and also in the new "Nail Care" tab up top. I've gotten lots of questions regarding nail care and figured it was time to write a little something something about it. I hope it helps you girls! But I digress, continuing on with this post...
This was three coats of Essie A Crewed Interest for the base and a gold gradient using Color Club Enchanted Holiday (a mini). This made me look really tan. I love it. Summer time, here I come!

Floral Mauve Design
So I gave the Konad/fauxnad plates another try and while it didn't turn out perfect, I must say I am quite pleased! I was contemplating what color combination I should use and finally decided on some type of pink/mauve/pastel burgundy mix. I used Uptown Girl. a dusty mauve from Color Club's Spring 2010 Rebel Debutante Collection as a base. For stamping, I used Admire, a light pink silver-ish color from China Glaze's Spring 2009 Romantique Collection. I also used image plate BM 221.
These were all taken in direct sunlight.
These were taken in the shade.
I didn't think I'd like Uptown Girl at first because looking at the color itself in the bottle seems kinda flat to me. But when I painted it on the nail, it just looked gorgeous! I would totally wear it alone. I bought Admire and almost all the other China Glaze polishes from the Romantique Collection specifically for stamping because I heard they are a little streaky on their own. Either way, the color is fabulous and the designs came out (for the most part) great! I love this =)
*Sigh* So pretty!
It is has been absolutely beautiful outside lately. Go enjoy the weather everyone and Happy Friday! <3
