The Lacquer Legion: Glam

Hello all,

I hope you all had a lovely weekend! For this manicure, I couldn't think of anything more "Glam" than neon, metallic, and glitter. I decided to paint my nails a neon pink shade and add gold accents to my fingers using scotch tape. Here is the result:

The neon polish is Revlon's Nail Art Neon dual-ended polish in Pink Glow. I applied this as was specified in the directions, then put two pieces of scotch tape outlining my nail in a triangle shape and then painted a coat of ORLY's Luxe.

I finished this look with two coats of China Glaze's Fairy Dust, one of the polishes my fiance picked up for me for my upcoming birthday. I'll definitely be wearing this more often!

What do you think? Is this what you think of when you hear "glam"?

Easter Egg Manicure

Hello all,

This week, in the spirit of Easter, I decided to decorate my nails like colourful Easter eggs :).
I saw this post by the wonderful Natalie where she used pastel colours to create a beautiful manicure, and I was inspired. This is the result:

In order to complete this manicure, I started by painting my nails with 2 coats of Wet n Wild's French White Cream. Once that dried, I sponged on 3 different polishes: Wet n Wild's Pink Cream, Essie's Turquoise and Caicos, and China Glaze's Tart-y for the Party. Once I was happy with how it looked, I painted 1 coat of OPI's Servin' Up Sparkle. To finish it off, I sealed everything in with top coat.

What do you think? 

Have a good weekend!

Neon Coral and Grey Manicure

Hello all,

This week I wanted something bright and cheery to reflect the nice weather we've been having lately. I decided on Color Club's East Austin, which isn't technically a neon polish, but it is so bright that I wanted to tone it down just a little bit with Color Club's Silver Lake.

In order to create this manicure, I painted 2 coats of East Austin on each nail, then when it dried I positioned striping tape on my ring fingers and painted a thick coat of Silver Lake over it and removed the tape. Lastly, I sealed in everything with a coat of quick dry top coat.

This is the most colour-accurate picture I could get of this polish.

This is what the polish looks like under natural light, much less bright than in the shade.
