Retro Summer Neons

Hi there!

I got a handful of the Summer Neons polishes at once and I couldn't decide which to wear first...

My nails painted with China Glaze - Splish Splash, I'm With the Lifeguard,
Sun-Kissed, Orange You Hot?, and Love's a Beach.
Stamped with Konad image plate M65.

... But who's to say I have to choose just one? I painted 2 coats of each polish to achieve what's pictured. All 5 polishes were seemingly thicker than the typical bottle of China Glaze nail polish... but I was sitting directly under my ceiling fan. That very well could have been the reason for the thickness. Minus a couple of mess-ups with my stamping, I enjoy this manicure :-) I topped everything with a coat of Seche Vite.

Are you a seasonal polish wearer? Admittedly, I am... and I'm not yet ready to simmer the brights!

Until next time...

Return Address Labels

Hi there!

I took part in the random manicure challenge with Dana a couple of weeks ago, and this is what I came up with...

My nails painted with China Glaze - Hang-Ten Toes,
I'm With the Lifeguard, and Essie - Chastity.

I painted 2 coats of Hang-Ten Toes before dotting on I'm With the Lifeguard and Chastity to achieve what's pictured.

I think I got lucky... but I know it's because I didn't bring very many bottles of polish with me to keep here. My manicure didn't have much of a chance of being ugly :-) I simply closed my eyes and grabbed 3 bottles. Once I opened my eyes, I knew immediately where I had seen the combination of colors before- and I thought, "why not mimic my return address labels?"

Have you painted a manicure inspired by something in your life?

Until next time...
