Orly Hilighter - the color of summer!

Oh my neon this color is awesome!!! Perfect for summer, and it stands out even more over white.

 

Kooky summer neon dotticure

Don't know what to tell you about this look today! It's just cray! I did lots of alternating with Zoya mod mattes from last summer: Mitzy, Phoebe, and Lolly.

Neon Pink Wednesday!

I love neon nubbins! Color of the day is Zoya Ali!

Gray and neon NOTD!

Happy Thursday, nail lovers! Today, a simple freehand manicure for you using Zoya Carey as my base color and China Glaze Flip Flop fantasy for accents.

Neon Valentines Day

I was really feeling China Glaze Shocking Pink for this Vday look. I knew I wanted some black designs on it so I free handed different designs on each finger. I carried my neon love down to my toes for some freehand hearts.

Neon Chevron French Tips

This post is from the vault, man do I miss my long nails! I can't wait until they grow back to this length! *sigh* I got this really cute Sally Hansen color recently (Fairy Teal), and I wanted to use it right away. So I did a free-hand chevron tip with Milani's Totally 80's accented with a black striper

I think chevron tips are a great way to change up the typical french manicures.

Halloween Week - Day Two: Witch Nails

Color is called Totally 80's (I layered it over white because otherwise it would take 5 coats to get this tone.) Black sparkly tips are from Love and Polish Charcoal from Forever 21. Witch Hat is from Bundle Monster 209 stamp and the little witches are from BM 13

NOTD: China Glaze Mosaic Nail Art

When I saw Liquid Jelly's tutorial on Mosaic Nails, I just fell in love and knew I HAD to try this! If you want to try it for yourself, check out her tutorial here. Here are the colors I chose for my mosaic manicure.

China Glaze Flying Dragon Neon, Showing Together and Purple Panic Neon, and I used this striper to make the white lines.  Here is the final product: 

At the end I added a coat of Fairy Dust to see how it would look, but I think it looks better without it. Have you tried this look yet? There are so many color combinations you can try with it.

Week full of Nails for ya!

I'm so behind on posting my manicures.  Believe it or not, I've actually been painting my nails more than a couple times a week, but I just haven't had time to post them.

 Here's Zoya Lolly in her ModMatte glory!  Sorry she's upside down.  Blogger hates my images sometimes.

 When the Zoya Earth Day Exchange came up I was on the hunt for a lovely nude.  Zoya recommended Amanda to me.  I think its a cute color, but maybe not the perfect nude for my skin tone, so the hunt continues!  If you have any recommendations, please let me know in the comments.  I stamped the rose with black from one of my Born Pretty plates.

 Birthday Nails!  Started with a light blue from Cosmetic Arts, then did a two tone cupcake stamp from BM14 Then I used CG Fairy Dust on top to give it a little sparkle.

 Let's call this one: FOIL FAIL!  I had this vision in my head of a full nail foil covered nails, all blingy and hot for my birthday, but um, it didn't hold up well...I got the foil and glue from Dollar Nail Art.  I think when I try this again in the future, I'll start with a base color like black on my nails.  Its a little difficult to get the foil all over the nail, so this will give something nicer to peak through than by naked nail.  I did mange to stamp some princess crowns on the thumb which I think looked pretty cute:

As a bonus pic, I present you BOW TOES!  Color is China Glaze Purple Panic (Neon).  The hearts on the little toes are from Konad plate M3 and the bow is from Konad plate M59.

So, what was your favorite mani from the week?  Any tips for me on how to apply foil better?  And I need nude polish recommendations.  I want something opaque and it is so hard to know by looking at the polish bottle if something is going to be sheer or opaque, so I need your recommendations!  Hit me up in the comments, and have an ab fab weekend!

Milani Neon crazyness!

After getting Milani Neon Totally 80's I really wanted to use it in my next manicure with Milani Neon Fresh Teal.

I alternated nails with the different colors and stamped with Konad special white polish using plate M64.  I love the color of Totally 80's, but it took like 4 coats to get good coverage and it took forever to dry!  I definitely think it will be fun for summer pedicures, but might not use it on my nails again.  I was really hoping it would be awesome like Fresh Teal so I could stamp with it, but not so much...Oh well!

Target Polish Haul

Hit up Target for some goodies last Thursday, and here's what I got:

From left to right is Milani Neon: 503 Totally 80's, Sinful Colors Frenzy, Sinful Colors Let's Talk, and Milani 3D Holo 514 Hi-Res.

Was really feeling the Milani Neon because I also have Milani Neon 504 Fresh Teal that would match it *perfectly* so look out for a fully neon manicure soon!
