Milani Fresh Teal :D

Good morning!

A quick post before I leave for the pool showing you a recent arrival. Milani Fresh Teal is an awesome teal neon that was even and opaque in 3 thin coats as usual. It's more green than the pic shows, closer to the bottle color actually :-)

Enjoy and have a great day! :D

Nails Inc Pembroke Close :D

Good evening!

Here's another one of my new Nails Inc, Pembroke Close. This one is a fantastic medium purple creme and was perfectly even and smooth in 3 thin coats. The pics are in the shade so imagine the color is a touch brighter and less blue in real life ;-)

So now, what do you put over such a pretty base color without overpowering it? I went with this delicate pattern from plate M79 in Sparitual Quiet Storm and I love it :D

Enjoy and have a great evening! :D

CC Pink Rush :D

Good afternoon!!

I was busy last week with a swim meet so what better to paint my nails with than a blinding hot pink neon? Color Club Pink Rush is such a great color! It dries a bit darker and slightly more orange-pink than in the bottle, and needed 3 thin coats to be opaque and even :D I just love it! It's brighter in real life than the pic shows, and I color-corrected the pic too because it was photographing bright orange lol.

Enjoy and have a great day! :D

LA Colors Magnetic Force :D

Good morning!

I found a new polish display at my super small drugstore last week, and you'll know right away why it caught my eye even though I wasn't looking for polish! LA Colors Color Craze Magnetic Force is a fantastic radioactive coral neon with gold shimmer. It looks pinkish coral in the bottle, but much more orange on the nail :D It's a bit pinker IRL and much much brighter than the pics.

And seeing as I just received my new Konad plates last week, I thought the animal pattern from M78 would be just perfect :D

Enjoy and have a great day! :D

Nails Inc Kings Road :D

Good morning!

I love cremes... I've had this slightly shimmery pastel lavender Nails Inc sitting in my helmer drawer for months, and I finally decided to try it thinking I probably wouldn't like it. Well turns out I was wrong lol! I really like Kings Road, it's a super pretty pastel pinkish lavender with subtle gold shimmer that only shows in strong sunlight :D It applied like butter in 3 thin coats. The color is a bit pinker in real life as the pics show.

And I added the houndstooth pattern from plate M63 in ChG Grape Pop, and I just love this! :D

Enjoy and have a great day!! :D
