Color Club Sponge

Hi there!

This is how short I chopped my nails after coming back from The Bahamas...

My nails painted with Color Club - The Lime Starts Here and Jackie Oh!

I painted 1 coat of OPI's Alpine Snow onto my nails and then painted The Lime Starts Here and Jackie Oh! onto a piece of sponge. When I sponged the polish onto my nails, they mixed to create an orange color. I like it!

I kept forgetting that The Lime Starts Here is a scented polish, and each time I raised my hands near my face was like a special surprise :-)

Do you frequently forget your polish is scented when you wear it?

Until next time...

Travel Bug

Hi there!

Over the past month, I've been (not-so) suffering from the travel bug! Hunny poo and I went to the Bahamas ❤  It was an amazing adventure. We did every possible tourist-y thing we could think of :-) On the day of our Anniversary, we got ourselves some awesome couple's massages. My body felt like goo once the massage was over... that sure made for a rough walk back to our suite.

The evening of our Anniversary coincided with when the Bahamians celebrate their Independence Day. There was a huge fireworks display, as well as dancing and a very spirited show. It was, for lack of a better word... awesome.

It wouldn't be right if I didn't show what I wore on my nails...

My nails painted with Color Club - Wham! Pow! and Jackie Oh!

I wore colors that matched well with each of my outfits. I debated with myself whether or not to stamp a design onto my nails... I ultimately decided against it because I thought about how much it would bug me if any of the design chipped off. If part of the plain polish had chipped off, it wouldn't be as noticeable and as annoying :-)

This picture was taken from our patio...

When we weren't exploring the sights, we were laying on our lounge chairs and enjoying all of the delicious food. I love the spices used in just about every dish!

This is Atlantis...

Did you know that the bridge suite costs $25,000 USD per night!? Yeah, no thanks :-)

This is one of the ceilings at Atlantis...

It's pretty, right?

We walked through all of the aquariums, and I couldn't stop thinking that I'd really like to own a nail polish that looks like this...

Once we got back from our vacation, we had less than a week to unpack, launder our clothing, and repack to move out of state. We moved from pine trees to palm trees. I'm not complaining... I love warm weather!

With all of the traveling, I chopped my nails clean off. I didn't want to worry about them breaking or chipping. I'll even go so far as to say I've neglected them over the past month :-/ My cuticles need some serious love!

Until I get my hands looking a little bit better, I'll be posting some of the manicures that I had saved on my computer from 2 months ago. I will also photograph and post what my travel manicure case looks like... once I figure out where I packed my camera :-)

Until next time...

Neon Pink and Green Crackle

Hi there!

I haven't worn crackle/shatter polish in quite some time, so today is a good day for it...

My nails painted with Color Club - Jackie Oh! and Pure Ice - Shattered.

I painted 2 coats of Jackie Oh! before applying a coat of Shattered to achieve what's pictured. I added a coat of Seche Vite over the top. The crackle polish pulled some of the pink polish away from my cuticle... I'm not sure if it's because I didn't let the pink dry completely- although, I'm pretty sure I did :-/ Anyway, my camera had a tough time capturing just how bright this manicure is- it's much brighter in person!

Have you tried any of the Pure Ice Crackles? How do you like them?

Until next time...

Neon Pinks

Hi there!

Today I've got neon pinks to show you...

Spoiled - Tip Your Waitress, Sinful Colors - Pink,
Color Club - Warhol, Color Club - Jackie Oh!,
and China Glaze - Pool Party.

This cell phone picture is color accurate...

My nails painted with Spoiled - Tip Your Waitress,
Sinful Colors - Pink, Color Club - Warhol,
Color Club - Jackie Oh!, and China Glaze - Pool Party.

And this picture is from my regular camera...

My nails painted with Spoiled - Tip Your Waitress,
Sinful Colors - Pink, Color Club - Warhol,
Color Club - Jackie Oh!, and China Glaze - Pool Party.

Each nail is painted with a base of white and 2 coats of pink.

In order from my favorite to my least favorite:

1. Color Club - Jackie Oh! (ring finger)... The formula is awesome. It dries glossy and very bright.

2. Color Club - Warhol (middle finger)... This also has a great formula. It's number 2 because I like the bright color of Jackie Oh! just a little bit better.

3. Spoiled - Tip Your Waitress (thumb)... The formula is awesome. This is number 3 for me because of the brush- it's thick and makes the application near my cuticle more difficult.

4. China Glaze - Pool Party (pinky finger)... This had an easy application, but I don't care for the matte finish.

5. Sinful Colors - Pink (index finger)... This is last on my list because it pulled on the white base. I let each polish dry the same amount of time before applying the next coat. I only had difficulties with this one.

I hope this helps!

Until next time...
