Guest Post from the adorable Paula!!

So, you know that moment when your nails just scream, “Neon’s! Give me neon’s!”?  Well, that’s what mine did today. Not only did neon’s take the top bullet on my to-do list, animal print decided to come along for the ride. 

A friend of mine is having a “Wild Wig, Animal Print” party for her 30^th Birthday so, Shana, this is in your honor. I’m going to be dressed to the T with my neon animal print top, skinny jeans, and curly blonde wig. (Pictures to follow)

Thanks mom, for getting all the prints on my nails for the party tomorrow. My nails would be plain or naked without your assistance and I would never want to bring shame to your name for lack of painted nails. As always, you rock, I love you, and thank you again for making my nails look GREAT! Love, Paula

It's Another Tequila Sunrise....

I had to get the taste of pink and purple with pastel glitter out of my mouth  so I dabbed China Glaze Riveting over Cult Nails Feel Me Up. Riveting is a glorious goldfleck orange red from the Hunger Games collection, Feel Me Up is a slight jelly deep yellow that took three thin coats. Ahhhh I'm back to feeling normal! (whatever that is)
HKGirl over.

I'm a Barbie Girl?

I do NOT know what possessed me other than knowing I have a granddaughter due this summer. China Glaze Fade Into Hue and Surreal Appeal accented with Lacquistry Chick-A-Dee-Doo-Da. The slightly grayed lavender is two coats, the pink needed a third but I didn't bother because I was glittering. One coat of glitter-

Chiralty Glory!

 I picked up 5 of the darker holos from Chiralty on etsy. I had the feeling from swatches they were going to be dense, scattered holos on the lines of aEngland Dragon and such, there is a linear effect under strong sunlight and halogen though. I used two coats of the olive green Kale with an accent nail of teal Cu2- the application was wonderful, very dense, almost one coat, the color got a bit darker with two though. Dazzle Dry over doesn't mute the effect at all. LOVE LOVE LOVE. I will be getting more of these! Pictures taken under an Ott light.

Sure glad I got my order in before Amanda became a star HERE! 

Untrieds- Hits Strawberrific

Not being a pink-red-purple girl I realized after about 300 polishes I didn't have any in those colors, so I ventured into that unknown territory with some mini polishes. One of them was Hits Strawberrific from DandRApothecary on etsy, found here. They are moving and will be shut down for all of April, so fave her and get notification when she opens back up! I have a dozen or so of her glitters and they are brilliant! I layered a nail or two (two thin coats no dabbing needed) over the poorly names Kiko 348, a dusky grayed olive.
Sorry for the quality of the pics, one day I'll have a camera...

Mentality- Entice!

Too beat from some minor surgery yesterday for words- Mentality Entice- golden bronze, almost ruddy in certain light-nearly one coat, creamy dense texture, nice flat brush- Slightly metallic holo with tiny holo glitter added- slight texture, one coat of Dazzle Dry over.

Yeah Sonoma Science Experiment!

You know how, when you want to paint your nails, you think, "Glitterbomb!!" then, even if you're using glue base or foil removal, the thought of all that thick topcoat, gelous etc. takes the glow off your excitement? Fear not! This is one sparkly glitterbomb that took ONE that's right, ONE coat of Poshe to get smooth!!  I have a dozen or more of the gorgeous Sonoma glitters and while most are toppers, this one is a full polish. It starts with a lime green jelly base and adds tiny lime and teal hexes, then two sizes of holo hexes, medium matte white glitter and ROUND teal medium glitters. The precise shade of green in the base keeps this from looking like soup- I actually mat wear it for Easter since it's such a grassy pretty green. I used two coats and some dabbing, I might have done a full third coat.

Don't you love this label??

Arghh pre cleanup

2 birds with 1 stone, err mani

MSMD and Tri Color Challenge! Here is the perfection called Manicurity Emma
I used Orly Green Apple, Orly Orange Punch and China Glaze Spontaneous. I'm not nearly the Master of Dots as is Emma, and I'm not sure this is office friendly, but it was fun! Oh also, with this orange being a jelly, the color mutated a bit over the other colors. Oh, please ignore that my hands are more than 30 years older than hers :)
