Today I just have a swatch for you all. This is Funky Fingers - Ectoplasmic. It's a seriously bright neon green with blue shimmer. I used 2 coats. When putting it on, this was super matte but it didn't show the blue shimmer so I put a top coat on. Also while I was putting it on, it was really patchy which made it slightly more difficult to put on but the second coat evened it out. I went skating yesterday, and this polish glows so bright under black lights!! Overall, this polish is great for the summer.
Don't forget to enter my giveaway! Thanks for looking!

Layering Experiment
Hello fellow bloggers! Today I have a manicure to show you that didn't exactly turn out very well, but not bad. I started with 3 coats of China Glaze White Cap, then added one coat of Essie Shine of the Times (flakey top coat) and then ended with a coat of Kleancolor My Valentine which I got in Polish Obsession's giveaway:)
This was SUPER hard to photograph so I only have one good picture to show you all.
Yup, not a particularly good one. Oh well, that's what makes the better ones better!

Clarins Candied Chestnut 219 Nail Polish
Hey guys!! Today I have a swatch of a Clarins nail polish that I got on No More Rack for about $6 instead of $16;) It's a beautiful golden taupe shimmery heaven. I used 3 coats of it, no top coat. It went on amazingly, dried in good time, and I have no complaints about it.
Have a great week:)

Ice Cream Sandwich Nails
Hey everyone!! How are you all doing? Today I have a manicure to show you guys that I've never really tried before, and I really like the way it turned out! I started out with two coats of Nicole by OPI Kim-Pletely In Love (a sheer pink with blue shimmer) and then one coat of NOPI Rainbow In the S-Kylie (multicolored, different sized glitters) and another coat of Kim-Pletely in Love for a jelly effect. Then I did a drip design with Wet n Wild Femme Fatale (hot pink with shimmer). I've seen tutorials on how to do this, by hand painting the shapes, but I don't do it that way. I use a dotting tool to draw the bottom of the drops and fill it in with the same dotting tool.
About the Nicole Kim Kardashian collection- I know I use it a lot, because I love the colors! The only problem is that I hate the Kardashian sisters, I don't know why their so famous honestly. Also, the names of the polishes are so annoying. I just felt like I had to get that out there.
My topcoat did some weird wrinkling or something for some reason.
On a side note, I think when I reach 100 followers I'll do a giveaway. You guys just let me know what you think should be in it!

Sexy Nails!
Hello there bloggers! I am back today for 2 new nails. One is just a swatch, and the other is a special design for my friends, who's houses I'm going to in Maryland. I'll be there for a week so I won't be back until then for a new post. My swatch is of OPI Melon of Troy (hehe) and it's a pretty melon almost pearl finish, or frosty. It was surprisingly opaque, more than I thought it would be. I am satisfied with the color and formula, but it's just not very exciting to me.
Now for the better part of this post, the design! I started with a franken of just a sheer pink, and then I used a trick with a rubber band (instead of tape) to fill in the red tips. Next I stamped BM-209 with Sally Hansen Black Out in the fishnet design. With top coat I stuck the rhinestones in between the red and pink.
I really like these! What do you guys think of this? Have a nice spring break!

Del Sol Nail Polish!
Hello lovelies! Now that there is sun to shine on my nails, I figured it's a good time to try out my new Del Sol polish in orange that turns pink in the sun called Sun Kissed. Here I used 4 coats because it is a little sheer and I just plain enjoy painting it! It doesn't work in the window because the glass blocks the UV rays. Inside it is a beautiful shade of orange that is shimmery and it takes a few seconds outside to turn hot pink-ish. I'm not sure exactly how to describe it! I stamped plate BM-221 with Essie's Wrapped in Rubies which is red-orange metallic and it stamps very well. On the base of my nails I put one of my bundle monster "blings" in an orange flower. The top coat doesn't make the effect of the Del Sol nail polish work any less, and I only use Seche Vite so I don't know if it's just that brand or any top coat, but with my Calibongo brand UV-changing nail polish it does. Here are the pictures- first ones are indoors, last are outside.
Now outdoors! It really doesn't look that much different because of the stamp though...
Anyone like Del Sol? I sure do! Have a fun weekend everyone:)
