Neon Makes Me Happy!

Hello lovelies!!

How is your weekend going so far?  This is the first day I've had all to myself and it feels great!!  My hubby cleaned our home yesterday while I was at work (best present ever!!) so I've just been relaxing and doing my nails :)  I decided to play with some new purchases, gradient style ;)


 Colors Used: China Glaze - Strike A Rose and Flip Flop Fantasy, Julie G - 9 to 5

I started with a base of Jule G's "9 to 5".  I've seen lots of swatches of this neon peach polish and I've always wanted a bottle of my own.  So when I saw it on display while buying Dayquil the other day, I snatched it up haha.  Unfortunately after 4 coats the polish was still a streaky mess... argh!!  


 I moved on to Plan B... sponging!  From top to bottom it's layered CG's "Strike A Rose" (from the new City Flourish collection), "Flip Flop Fantasy" (a neon coral that I've loved forever) and then "9 to 5".  I used a triangular make-up sponge to stiple/blend the colors on my nails.  I then cleaned up my cuticles with a combo of Q-Tips, an angled brush and actetone.

 Totally makes me think of peaches!


Has anyone else used "9 to 5"?  I'm not crazy right??  Streak City bound!  Lol...

Until next time!

    It seems like these peaches are really picky about who they'll play nice with. They don't even look good on me so most the time I just let them be, lol, but I am really enjoying Zoya Cole at the moment. BUMMERRRRR that the 9 to 5 formula was so rude to you but the ensuing gradient is stunning!

    Perfume boxes with time have become the fundamental piece of the style and make up industry. Their change from eau de toilette to packaged fragrances have been a significant change. These items are of unadulterated magnificence and fragile energies, alongside such affectability that these scented jugs should be put away in a dynamite tweaked bundling that precisely matches to the details of the actual item.
