Neon Marble

Hi Everyone!

I want to say thank you so much for the warm welcome after my last post! It was like a huge hug after being away for so long and your support and encouraging words truly warm my heart! I'm looking forward to playing with polish again and sharing the results with you. Hugs!<3

Today I'm super excited to show you the manicure that I've been wearing for the past few days because its a water marble and its neon! Need I say more? Marbling and I don't usually get along. I end up spending an inordinate amount of time trying to do it the usual way before I finally give up and 'cheat' by creating decals. To save myself the frustration and wasted polish, I thought I'd be smart and head straight to making decals. You may have caught a sneak peek of this if you follow me on Instagram. Well let's just say that didn't turn out quite as planned so I ended up attempting the traditional way of water marbling instead...

Select Shades of Dance Legend Rio Collection

Hi Everyone! Today I would like to show you three shades from the Dance Legend Rio collection. These neon glitter toppers add a fun twist to any manicure. They look beautiful over both light and dark colors and I think can easily be worn any time of the year. No need to hide these away when Summer ends...

InDecisive Lacquer Jawbreaker

Hi Everyone! Today I would like to show you the adorable InDecisive Lacquer beauty named Jawbreaker and some nail art that I created with it. I wanted to play off the fun neon colors within Jawbreaker so I pulled each one out into a triangle accent. This is my subtle way of begging summer to stick around a little bit longer. Does it really have to go so soon?

Speckled Neon Butterfly Wings

Hi Lovelies!

Okay, so I had a tougher time than expected parting ways with my Speckled Neon gradient from yesterday and I decided to play with it some more before moving on. I have often admired some of the lovely butterfly wing manicures out there, but never tried my hand at creating one until now...

Speckled Neon Gradient

I couldn't get enough of the adorable Specked Neon shades from InDecisive Lacquer that I showed you yesterday, so after swatching them, I decided to play around and create some nail art. Although these don't come in all the colors of a rainbow, I thought it might still be fun to put them in rainbow-y order and of course that meant some sort of gradient was in order...

InDecisive Lacquer Speckled Neons

Hi Everyone! Today I would like to show you the very cute Speckled Neon toppers from InDecisive Lacquer. I'm a big fan of the black and white speckled shades so I was quite excited to try the new neon additions to the line. I tried them out over black and white and I am pleased to say that they most certainly did not disappoint...

Neon Parrot...

Feels like forever since I've actually done any sort of nail art so I'm rather excited to have something new to share with you. I have been seeing everyone showing off their dry brush manicures (which I believe all started with this gorgeous manicure by Chalkboard Nails). I thought I'd give this look a try as well. I kept it as random and messy as possible and totally love it. The bright neon colors that I used reminded me of parrots, so here we are with what might possibly be the brightest pirate themed manicure I've seen...

Neons by OPI!

Hi Everyone! Sorry for such sporadic posting recently. There is nothing worse than having lots of beautiful polish to show you and very little time to do. I hope to return to my regularly scheduled posting soon. ;)

Today I would like to show you Neons by OPI. I was so excited for these beauties because it is not often that OPI releases such bright shades. Actually, I believe these are their first ever full-sized neons and they are now part of the permanent line which is so awesome. These are just perfect for the sunshine and summertime...

Ruby Wing Electric Firefly...

Hi there! Today I have another Ruby Wing beauty to share with you! I just adore these solar changing polishes during the summer. We've had some gorgeous sunny days around here and what better way to enjoy them than staring at your nails as they change colors back and forth. This little beauty even glows under black light so it is like three colors in one. Something for every occasion...

OPI Neon Revolution...

My nails are starting to get to a reasonable for me swatching length and I'm so excited to get back to showing you all the pretty polishes. I'd like to start today, with the OPI Neon Revolution mini kit. It features a white base, four neon minis and a top coat. I think neons are such a fun treat for the summer and I'm quite happy to keep wearing these and delaying fall as much as possible...

Nicole by OPI Scandalous! Neons...

Today I would like to show you Nicole by OPI Scandalous! Neons. It is one of two Nicole by OPI neon mini kits. Similarly to Notorious! Neons which I showed you yesterday, this kit contains a white base and three neon shades to brighten up this summer...

Nicole by OPI Notorious! Neons...

Summer around here can come and go from one to day to the next, but there is something about neons that can put me in the summer mood regardless of the weather. Nicole by OPI has released two neon mini kits Notorious! and Scandalous! Neons. Today I will show you the Notorious! Neons mini kit...

Sunday Stamping: Crazy Neons

It is not often that I reach for a neon shade when creating a manicure. Today I picked three of them thanks to another challenge in Adventures in Stamping. The Sunday Stamping manicure theme this week is crazy neons. My initial idea for the manicure was very different than the results, but as soon as I created the gradient it insisted on being citrus fruit and who was I to argue...

Color Club POPtastic: Color that POPS!

I'm continuing to slowly make my way through swatching all my Color Club sets. Only seven more sets to go! Color Club POPtastic was released for Spring 2010. I had no intention of getting the set when it first came out and even passed it by in the stores multiple times. It was not until a friend brought one with her on a  weekend trip away and the girls went dotty, that I knew I had to have it. It is by far my most used set for nail art and I'm so glad I got it...
