Lime Accent

I am loving those two Bleached Neons I was able to find at Big Lots, I still really wish I could have found the rest of them! Today I have Lime Accent for you, it's neon, it's lime green and it looks as though it's been bleached.

I started out with one coat of Sinful Colors Snow Me White, just to make it pop a little more, I followed that up with two coats of Lime Accent. It went on very smoothly, but it did seem to take a while to dry, so much in fact that I put a quick drying top coat over it just to speed up the process. After that dried I stamped a cool looking design on it, using stamping plate BP-50 from Born Pretty Store, and added another coat of my quick drying top coat.

I really love the way this came out, the black and lime go well together!

Checking another number off the #SBBNailChallenge with this mani, number 46 Favorite nail art technique! Stamping is by far my favorite thing to do to my nails and it's so easy anyone can master this technique with a little practice.

I'm working away at this untried pile of polish, I'll be back next week with another polish :)

China Glaze Flirty Tankini

Today's post is going to be short and sweet, I've got a migraine and I have to work this afternoon. Today I have China Glaze Flirty Tankini from the Summer 2012 Neons Collection.

I am in love with this color and it would look fabulous on any one that has a tan. Beautiful neon coral with a little bit of shimmer, you really have to look for it. I added a very thin coat of Salon Perfects Cosmic Dust to give it a little more shimmer, however my camera did not want to work well with picking up the amazing shimmery glittery goodness that Cosmic Dust offers. Also in person this polish is so much brighter. More like the last photo ;)

It's a neon so it dries semi matte and man does it chip easily, painted them on Wednesday went to work on Thursday and my mani was ruined before I even got off work :(

See short and sweet! Hope you all have a great weekend and I'll be back on Monday!

Neon Stars

Today I have the first of 2 posts I told you about in my last post. The Born Pretty Store sent me these awesome Colored Star & Round Shaped Rhinestones to try out and provide an honest review.

I have been so in love with neons since this spring, I just love the brightness of them, so I started out with two coats of Here Comes Trouble from Wet n Wild's Street Art collection. How gorgeous is that color? At first I was only going to use the pink stars, but I could  not resist using the green ones too! My original plan was to apply one star to each nail up towards the cuticle, but I thought it looked a little plain so I added two more to each nail alternating the colors.

These were very simple to use paint your first coat let it dry then paint the second coat one nail at a time and apply the rhinestone while the polish is still wet and seal it all in with a top coat. I made it a day and a half before I lost one star, not to bad in my opinion. I really like how this came out, I really want to try these on black and white polish ;)

These awesome rhinestones can be purchased on the Born Pretty website for only $7.59 currently on sale for $5.99 for 300 pieces! As always shipping is free and you can save an extra 10% with the coupon code: SMBW10

Hope you all are having a fantastic day!

Don't Even Pink About It & Kaboom

I hope you all had a great weekend! Hubby had to work all weekend so I just watched Law & Order: SVU on Netflix then had crazy dreams because I watched to many episodes :/

Today I have a two-fer for ya! Fing'rs Heart 2 Art Don't Even Pink About It and Salon Perfect's Kaboom. Fing'rs sent Don't Even Pink About It for me to try out and I picked up Kaboom at Walmart a few months ago, it was the only one like it and I could not find any other colors of this particular kind of polish.

Don't Even Pink About It is a hot pink cream polish that dries to a semi-matte finish. This polish was super easy to work with, applied like a dream, no dragging or anything. It did dry pretty fast, even the nails that I did thicker coats on. I think this is a great color on it's own, especially for the Summer time, it would look so great on the toes! I wanted to add a little something to it so I dug out Kaboom, Kaboom has a clear base with teeny tiny yellow and blue circle matte glitters. When this polish dries it does have some texture to it, apparently it was part of their Neon Collision collection. That collection had 6 colors in it, wish I could have found the rest of them! I am assuming Kaboom could be built up and worn alone, but can you just think of the trouble you would have removing it.

Here is a close up shot of Kaboom, look how tiny those glitters are!

Here is my finished mani! Of course I had to take this photo with my phone, because my camera was not having any of it LOL I really like the way this came out, I think it's a great mani for the spring and summer. I did 2 coats of Don't Even Pink About It and one, as thin as I could, coat of Kaboom. I did apply a thick coat of NYC's Grand Central Station, but for the most part you can still feel the texture of Kaboom. I will also add that Don't Even Pink About It is showing up darker in this photo than what it looks like in person, think pink highlighter and that is really what it looks like.

Not sure if I will have a TIOT post tomorrow, but Wednesday I'll have my review on Maybelline's Dream Smooth Mousse Foundation. Hope y'all come back for that :)
