Step Into Summer - Neon

Hello, lovelies!

Another quick post today :)  I have decided to participate in the Hobby Polish Bloggers Challenge for the months of June and July.  It's a really relaxed challenge with 8 themes to be posted at ones leisure... my kind of challenge lol.  Today I'm going with "Neon"...

 Colors Used: China Glaze - Celtic Sun, Love & Beauty - Purple, Orly - Mayhem Mentality

Downside... my light tent REALLY subdued the crazy brightness of this polish :(  But I still really loved the mani so I had to share haha.

Celtic Sun, in person, is blinding-highlighter-yellow.  It's amazing!  I layered 2 coats over a white base.  I then popped over to my inspiration board on Pinterest and re-discovered a great tutorial for my accent design.

"Why you not brighter??!!!"

I have to skidaddle now, but I hope you all have a fabulous day!

Until next time!

Recreate Your Favorite

Hello, dolls!

So I'm almost positive that it's still May somewhere right now.  At least for the next hour?  Well I'm just going to go with my delusions lol.  This is my final mani for the Hobby Polish Blogger challenge.  We were supposed to recreate our favorite and I decided I'd take a stab at The Bubbly Brunette's fashion inspired mani :)

 Colors Used: Rimmel - Black Satin, OPI - My Boyfriend Scales Walls

I really, really love this look.  I loved the nail art Madame Brunette did originally and it was my first choice for recreation.  When I finally took a look at all of the other ladies fabulous mani's, this one just kept popping out at me.  I couldn't resist!

I did 2 coats of Black Satin as my base color.  I then used a double-sided dotting tool for the design.  I love love love it!  You should check out the fierce Prada fashion that inspired this....

Two cheers for fashion!

I really enjoyed doing this challenge along with getting to know some wonderfully fantastic bloggers :D  There will be another Hobby Polish Blogger sponsored challenge for the months of June and July.  Best believe I'll be participating!

Until next time!

Inspired by the Beach

Hello lovies!

I've been a little bit busy this week and have not been able to devote a lot of time to blogging.  I promise to get to  all of your comments soon.  I truly do appreciate all of the feedback I've recieved :)

Today I have my third mani in the Hobby Polish Bloggers challenge for May...

 Colors Used: Sally Hansen - White On and Blue-Away, Ulta - Ink Blot Blue, Love & Beauty - Beige

I have to admit that I dislike the beach... a lot.  Like a lot a lot.  It doesn't make a whole lot of sense considering I was born at a hospital that's right on the beach and I've lived within 10-15 mins of the beach my entire life.  But yea.  I really dislike it lol.  I hate the smells, I hate the sand. I hate the traffic... no, thank you!

 

As far as this mani goes, I thoroughly enjoyed sponging on the waves :)  I wish I could have gotten better pics of the details.  I think this is my fave out of the May challenge so far...

 Yay waves!

Until next time!

Inspired By Fashion

Hey there!

I'm super duper excited about today's post!  I am starting my Hobby Polish Bloggers challenge for the month of May.  Yay!!  I am especially excited because I have decided to do these in order which means fashion comes first :) 

 I am so very much in love with the show Mad Men and Joan Holloway (played by the lovely Christina Hendricks) is my favorite character.  She's sassy and her outfits are to die for!

 Colors Used: Love & Beauty - Cobalt, China Glaze - Hey Sailor, Sally Hansen - White On

I started with 2 coats of Cobalt and then used my striping brush to paint on the square and outline.  I could have taped them off for straighter line but... I really have not patience for dry time!  I've had to force myself to take pictures right after I'm done painting on the off chance that I might smudge my nails from impatience lol.

I top coated it and called it a night :)

I can't wait to see what the other ladies have in store!  I'm planning on completing this challenge these first 2 weeks in May so that there wont be any conflicts/confusion with my other May challenge.  I've got lots of brain-storming to do lol...

Until next time!
