ChG Aquadelic and Essie Butler Please :D :D

Good morning!

Been up since 2:30 this morning even though it's my one weekend to sleep between school blocks :/ Here's ChG Aquadelic, a fantastic brightish aqua blue :D Application was very smooth in 3 thin coats... Love it!!

Cheeky plate Ch14 in Konad White polish.. :D

Essie Butler Please, a great brightish blue that sometimes looks neon and sometimes looks more muted. It's not as bright as CC Bright Night but sometimes close :) 3 thin coats.

Cheeky plate CH5 in Konad White :D

Enjoy and have a great day! :D

Essie Mint Candy Apple :D

Good evening!

I finally convinced myself to edit some pics so here my last mani of 2009, Essie Mint Candy Apple! It's an amazing bright pastel green creme that really pops against my neutral warm skin, and it's made its way into my top 20 for sure!! Unfortunately it ended up snowing or being cloudy all the time I wore it so my pics just don't do it justice :(

I decided to add some konad using plate S6 in Princess Pop Green, and since my stamping wasn't perfect enough for me I topped it with ChG Glacier and wow did that work!! I wore that kotd a week lol :O

Enjoy and have a great evening! :D

Essie Ruby Slippers :D

Good evening!!

After a few days of pondering, I settled on Essie Ruby Slippers for my Christmas mani, and although I wasn't too sure at first it certainly grew on me! I ended up wearing it 3 or 4 days and fixing the little chips along :D Great red jelly with magenta and gold glitter it seems on my skin, it was opaque after 3 thin coats. The gold glitter didn't show as much IRL as it does in the pic, the magenta/burgundy was way more prominent!

Enjoy and have a great evening! :D

Essie Pink Parka :D

Good morning!

I am finally back home after a little over 2 weeks in Florida and tho I must say it's good to be home, I really miss the warmth and sun :-( Anyways, I just finished editing my latest NOTD pics so here's a great one from last week, Essie Pink Parka! I topped it with 2 coats of ChG Snow Globe (again) to hide all the bubbles I got on application (boo!), but I adore how it turned out!

And since I hadn't konaded for a while, I decided to add some flames to my explosive pink mani using plate M73 in Konad Black polish :D

Enjoy and have a great day! :D

Essie Punchy Pink (redux) :D

Good evening everyone!!

I apologize for being away for a little while but I has my swim nationals last week so I was a little busy ;-) I wanted to wear something popping for my races so I settled on Essie Punchy Pink which is my all-time favorite neon pink. This is 3 coats.

I also decided to add some flakies on top to make it even more blinding :o I used Colorama Ruby Rays and I absolutely loved the end result! It darkens just slightly the base color, and the flakies flash orange!

Enjoy and have a great evening!! I'll be back tomorrow with some more recent NOTDs :D

More neons!! :D

Good afternoon everyone!!

I'm tired of playing catch-up with my past NOTDs, so how about I just show them all to you right now in here? Continuing on my neon streak... here they are :D

First off, Essie Mini Shorts, a fabulous somewhat jellyish orange neon! Please excuse the little bubbles inbetween the color coats... I think I've finally realized they might be caused by the quick-dry top coats.

Next up is Milani Pink Pop. I picked this one up (along with Milani Juicy Glo and Electric Pink) at CVS while I was in Florida, and you'll see why right away! Unfortunately my camera refused to capture the true color, so I had to photoshop the pic slightly to get a better match.

Right after came Electric Pink which is a super hot pink that of course looks orange on my camera... Once again I tried to photoshop the color to get a better match.

And finally, here is Essie Flirty Fuchsia. I am totally loving this year's Essie neon collection, even though they don't apply very well for me ;-)

So that's it for the catching up, and I'll be back later today with today's NOTD! :D

Essie Punchy Pink :D ★★★★★

Good evening everyone!!

Just before going to bed, here's another one of my recent manis, Essie Punchy Pink. I have to say that the colors from Essie's 2009 summer collection are a *lot* more neon than last year's! This one is an absolutely fabulous hot pink, and it might well be my favorite ever neon pink even tho the application was streaky and left a lot to be desired :D

And since I brought all of my Konad supplies with me, here's a hot pink zebra (plate M57) ;D

Enjoy and have a great evening!! :D
