wow it's been three weeks.....

it's been a terribly long hot hard summer. Nail mojo gone, still painting (until the day I die, ha!) but art and fun stuff don't seem worth the effort. Hope it comes back....

Peacock Parade- two coats

Lippmann 80's Rewinds collection- most took three coats

Some recent manis

Enchanted Polish Desert Sunset

Lovely holo with peach, salmon, pink, not sure exactly how to describe, but holo Office Safe:-D. Easy coverage with two coats.

Mentality Crystal Chromes

One heavy coat over black for each...mind: blown Go get 'em here

This kept me busy, painted a few nails too

My grandbabies were in town for...

My daughter Paula's wedding!

Nail fail

It happens..

Paula's Wedding Shower!

We're throwing a couples's shower for the happy twosome tomorrow so I'm sporting her wedding colors, meadow green and peach, using Illamasqua Purity and MILF. Some combo, eh? Two coats of the green, three for the peach. Seche Vite over.

Negative space!

First try at this, using OPI Uh Oh Roll Down the Window, olive green two coater. Topped with SV.

Vapid Lacquer The Elements of Neon Collection

There are and will be more tremendous swatches like this of these opaque linear neon beauties. I chose to layer one coat of the pure Spectraflair topcoat, Cryogenic Refrigerant over the colors. Pictures can speak for themselves.

you can find them here on June 20!

so my orange mani won....

really it  was a random drawing in a fb group for the neon orange mani below, my prize was getting to pick the next week's color, so of course I picked cream lime green. I probably wear this color more than any other, it's my happy place really, and the contest was enough to get me to break out my untried Dior Lime. Love this color, three coats as it's a crelly, but it has a porcelain like look irl.
Seche over.

Quick NOTD KB Shimmer 24 Carrot Bold

Two coats then Seche Vite then one more coat of this neon red orange with micro red and gold flakes. Oh and it's matte :-D

Mentality Neon Holos and Animal Print

inspired by Robin Moses go see it here. I haven't mastered striping brushes yet, so I did the print with a dotting tool and Cult Nails Nevermore, a deep rich black that is no longer available.
I used a white base underneath and Seche Vite on top. Every time I look at my hands I get happy!

Even my right hand got into the act!

Only a bit of holo showing in sunlight- needs two coats for rainbow goodness

Still love this one- Enchanted Polish Mean Mr. Mustard

Three thin coats with no undies- love the blue/green/gold shiftiness and the holo sparkle....
