China Glaze Sun Worshiper

Oh hay gurl haaaaaaay. I will cut right to the chase! Today's bright and fun mani is Sun Worshiper from China Glaze's Summer 2010 Poolside Collection. As per usual, my camera freaked out in the presence of this neon beauty.







Sunlight with flash



Dude, it glooooows! Application was streaky, however -- this took about 3-4 coats and I had to let them dry in between. I did try to make the coats a little thicker as I went on to even out the lines but they don't seem too noticeable in pictures. I didn't apply a white base for this and it was still bright as all heck. Yay for awesome neons! This dried to a pseudo matte/suede finish so top coat was definitely a must.

One last reminder: tomorrow is the last day for my giveaway! Entries will be accepted until 11:59pm and I will announce the winner on the 20th! Hooray!!! *dances*

Color Club Get Your Lem-On

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!!!!

Neon Pink Wednesday

What I have for you today is a super neon pink polish from China Glaze's Summer 2010 Poolside Collection. It's the ever-so-popular Flip Flop Fantasy! My camera seriously spazzed out when I tried to capture the crazy neon-ness... I could've sworn it was glowing in the dark too!



Taken in the shade. It was glowing, I tell you!


Indoors. Even my camera had to squint hahah


 In direct sunlight - amazeballs!



 Left: indoors, Middle: shade, Right: sunlight. 


 There couldn't have been a more appropriate color for the summer =P. Woohoo! Middle of the week is almost over -- I can't believe half the year is almost over even!  Enjoy polishing, ladies ^_^.
